Personal Growth Testimonials

“I initially visited with Dr. Jan to assist me in going through a difficult divorce. Her unique approach grounded me during more than two years of considerable emotional turmoil. Because of her I was able to not only heal from that experience, but also be grateful for it. I grew from it in a number of ways I never would have considered. I see her as a gift. Seldom does a day go by that I don’t employ something she taught me, and I now see obstacles as the opportunities they truly are. Our ability to learn and grow and achieve a greater awareness of ourselves is unlimited – Dr. Jan opens the door wide to that type of learning and, as a result, an amazing amount of fulfillment.”

“What Dr. Jan does is completely different from any therapeutic process I’ve ever experienced. It’s like being in front of a door that other therapists can help you sand, varnish and paint over, but Dr. Jan gives you the key to open that door to other parts of yourself.”

“There is naturalness about Dr. Jan’s approach to therapy. She is truly grounded in her own wisdom and experience and has a knack for putting people at ease immediately. She is a keen listener and is truly in touch with her clients. I’ve been seeing Dr. Jan for about five years, and what I appreciate most is her ability to tap into what’s going on in my life and help me identify what I need to work on – even if I don’t know. One of the greatest things about Dr. Jan is that she offers an interdisciplinary approach to healing, combining many different philosophies from all ages, involving the mind, body, breathing and meditation. She is also wonderful at balancing heavy and light, fun and serious, and has a tremendous sense of humor, always knowing what’s fun, comforting and needed. She offers a uniquely human approach to therapy and has helped me reach greater self-awareness, let go of fear and anxiety, and improve upon many of the relationships in my life.”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Jan for four years, and she’s helped me manage through family problems, my love life, and self-esteem issues. She’s been able to challenge and push me to help me become the best person I can be. I hardly think of Dr. Jan as a therapist, because I can tell she deeply cares about me as a person and is fully invested in my personal development. In addition to therapy, we’ve practiced yoga, guided meditation and voice-dialogue. What I really value most about Dr. Jan is that I can also learn from her life experiences and unique background – I’ve even come away with job-seeking advice. It feels really great to go somewhere and know that someone truly cares about me as a person. Dr. Jan really puts her whole self into the sessions. She is not a bobble-head therapist.”

“Dr. Jan has become a life-coach for me, and I am utterly drawn to her as a person. As a therapist myself, I am a firm believer that therapists need their own therapists to help them work through what’s going on in their own lives. While she is a doctor and has a significant amount of education, there’s an art to what Dr. Jan offers, and I believe that’s in her intuition. She’s able to read people exceptionally well to get to the heart of what they’re experiencing so she can help them through it. She is also exceptionally open-minded and is able to bring multiple philosophies to the table to help manage through her client’s challenges. It never gets stale. And I honestly believe I am a better person for working with Dr. Jan.”

It is the only variable that has changed in the last 12 months. I’m beginning to feel the inner peace that I have longed to attain. I can’t imagine my life without yoga now. It is my new antidepressant.”

“Dr. Jan’s love of yoga shows in her attention to detail and her open heart.”
– Rodney Yee, internationally acclaimed yoga instructor

“I’ve been doing yoga with Dr. Jan for several years, and there’s something non-formulaic and truly customized about what she offers – and it expands beyond yoga into meditation, breath work and conversation to help reach a new level of spiritual awareness. What’s most unique about Dr. Jan, in my opinion, is her ability to listen, communicate, calibrate and create a customized experience for her clients, while helping us understand the true benefit of what we’re doing. When practicing yoga with Dr. Jan, it’s much more than just exercise – it’s about getting in touch with our minds and bodies.”

“Yoga with Dr. Jan has made a huge difference in my life. I signed up for my first class a little over a year ago with a goal to find some kind of inner peace and to quiet the turmoil in my mind.  The results have been dramatic. I was pleasantly surprised to experience physical benefits as well.  My body has become more toned and flexible. Dr. Jan has a way of integrating a wide variety of physical abilities in each of her training sessions. Newer students gain confidence at their own pace and the more experienced students still feel challenged in the same class.”
