Meet Janice
I originally trained as a physiotherapist (N.Z), then an osteopath (U.K). I have worked with a cardiologist, working in stress management and breathing pattern disorders. I have continued searching for different ways to encourage the bodys' own natural healing mechanism. I have seen many things that my past training couldn't explain.
My interest in BodyTalk™ was piqued after hearing a lecture from Dr John Veltheim, using science and energy medicine in the same framework. This was exciting, as it integrated these 2 distinct approaches to health. This encouraged me to train as a BodyTalk practitioner, and to integrate it into my treatments. The bridging of science and energy allows for a more intuitive approach to treatments.
My recent focus has been in bringing in aspects of 'lifestyle medicine'. Our genes are not fixed, but can be influenced by many lifestyle factors....our sleep, diet, stress, toxic load etc. There are so many small changes we can make, that can make a huge impact in our overall health. Education is an important part.......you can't change what you don't know!
After over 30 years of working in the health field, I am enjoying my work more than ever. I am much better at applying my knowledge to myself, and seeing the results. This makes me passionate to share this knowledge with others.
TESTIMONIALS
"Several years ago with plans for overseas travel being under threat as a result of severe pain and limited back movement, a friend recommended that I should visit Janice. I was amazed how quickly her treatment helped, and found that I was soon able to get back normal movement, free of pain, and able to go ahead with my holiday plans.
I still go back when I feel it necessary, and always leave feeling three inches taller, knowing that my problems will have eased. Other family members and friends also continue to rely on Janice for physical ailments."

"I have been a client of Janice for many years. Initially in her capacity as a physiotherapist treating chronic back and neck pain, and lately having monthly therapeutic body massages. These massages have been wonderful— I am now pain free and active, and intend to continue with them on a permanent basis."

"Janice has treated 3 members of our family and we all found her to be professional, responsive, kind and therapeutic. We have consulted Janice for many differing reasons - hyperventilation, stress, injury, and learning difficulties. She offers a safe environment, wonderful healing hands, and we all look forward to her care."
"A friend suggested I see Janice when I started experiencing back and neck pain. I have now been seeing Janice intermittently for the last 5 years. Janice has a holistic approach to well being which suits my philosophy. I also like that Janice only treats when it is necessary— as opposed to multiple treatments over a period of time. Janice provides solutions to my problems rather than ongoing treatment that only gives some reprieve. Therefore, i now only need to see Janice, 3-4 times a year for maintenance. Just quietly, I sometimes go and see Janice simply for a relaxing massage to ease tension in my body. I highly recommend her."

"Over many years I had placed major pressure on my back. I had fallen off horses numerous times, fallen through a 9 foot stud floor, and lastly fallen out of a whelly bin when jumping in to push rubbish down. I had ripped hamstrings in 3 places that caused a lot of pain, and my back was always sore.
I came to Janice when I could not lie flat in bed to sleep, read on my stomach, and had to 'roll' out of bed in the morning as my back could not support my body. I could not walk further than a few steps without stopping to correct myself. I could do no exercise. Today I can run, am back at the gym and swimming 1.25 km, five times a week, and feel amazing. This lady changed my life, and I thank her and her amazing hands every day!"
