In their words…
Outstanding Massage!!
I want to share my Massage experience provided by Janice.
This was my initial visit to her practice.
I called Janice for scheduling, very pleasant to speak and accommodating for my request, a 1-hour massage.
She quickly confirmed my appointment and provided address info via text message.
Her practice is on the second floor of an easy to find and convenient location off of Northwest Blvd in Coeur d’Alene.
Her practice is a little oasis, clean, neat, tidy, and ultra comfortable massage table that she had preheated for me…the blankets and linens were very comfortable…the scents were very nice and not overly done so.
Janice’s voice is very soothing and calming and the music she had playing was relaxing and just the right volume.
Prior to starting the massage she asked if there were any specific areas of need or concern.
Her massage was outstanding…touch, pressure, and rhythm being at just the right pace. The massage oil she used felt and smelled good. Warm steamed towels and hot stones were also used during the massage.
Janice provided well timed verbal cues for breathing in order to maximize effect and to assist with relaxation for those areas that needed extra pressures due to tightness.
Afterwards I felt completely relaxed and with no tension. It was one of the best massages I have ever had.
I’ve already scheduled another appointment with Janice for next month and will certainly be referring others to her as well.
Thank you again :

Janice, is amazing, incredibly strong & intuitive. She knows what my body needs more than I do! Although I love her strength, She is an angel and makes you feel so loved during your short time with her. Seeing Janice has been so great for my mind and my body. “

“As a massage therapist myself, I trust Janice and her kind, warm, knowledgeable hands. Her intuition is spot on! While she gently warms and opens the body up to receive, she skillfully sculpts her way into your achy and tired muscles, creating length, support and ease. I would do just about anything to get back on her table again. Yes, she is THAT good!”

“There are massages and there is the gift of healing peace through massage. If peace is what one seeks…spend healing time with Janice.

“From the moment I walked into Janice’s peaceful and inviting sanctuary of a studio, I knew I was in a special place. Janice is full of light and love and has a wonderful gift for helping pregnant mamas on their journey. She fills each massage session with a nurturing energy and healing touch. As a doula, she was caring and supportive and knew just what to do. My birth wasn’t anything like I had planned or expected and Janice helped me remain calm and comforted. She knew just what to say to help me through the toughest moments and I couldn’t imagine giving birth without her.”

“Janice offered to come to my home for our first meeting. We discussed my hopes and fears over a cup of tea, and it became quickly apparent that I didn't need to interview anyone else. From this first meeting, until well after the birth, Janice filled me with confidence and love. I can't express how lovely her prenatal massage is. Aside from being one of the best massages I've ever had (prenatal or not) her intuition and positive energy left me feeling both relaxed and empowered. For the birth itself, she was on hand as early and as long as I needed her. She was flexible and perfectly responsive to "reading me, She encouraged my family's participation, and advocated for me with the hospital team.”

“I was so thankful for Janice’s massage services during and after birth. My water broke before my labor started. Feeling pressure from my OB to start interventions didn’t help jump start labor either. Janice dropped everything and met me at the hospital. She created an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. I like to say that she massaged me into labor that day. Postpartum, my back was a wreck from birth and breastfeeding. Janice’s healing energy, combined with her extensive knowledge of mamas and babies, so valuable during those postpartum days.”

"She was essentially our loving guide. Long before our due date, her peaceful presence, encouraging words, knowledge and experience, helped us to navigate our home birth’s.”
— Caitlin
“Janice is an amazing doula and massage therapist! She has helped me in all 3 of my pregnancies and births (1 miscarriage, 1 single baby, and twins). She eases your pain through touch and oils, and she respects what you envisioned for your birth and post birth. She is comforting, peaceful, reassuring, tender, extremely knowledgeable and she is my mother”
— Heather
"Janice made me feel comfortable in my body before birth. She was nurturing and her magic hands made me feel so relaxed throughout my entire pregnancy. She was full of knowledge and I can’t wait to use her again for my next pregnancy."
— Taylor
Janice has been the most amazing, grounding supportive presence in my transition to motherhood. Even though she was unable to be in the delivery room with me due to covid protocols, I’m so grateful for her support leading up to my delivery, with me during my delivery even though she wasn’t physically present, and even more so for her postpartum support. Her grounding Gaia presence was a refuge for me through the transition- especially the postpartum anxiety that I was not expecting worrying about everything with my tiny new baby. I don’t want to imagine going through this process without her."
— Alicia
“Janice traveled to and lived with us 3 weeks. Arriving one week prior to our due date. She easily became part of our family. Bringing a peaceful energy that boosted our confidence and trust. She never left our side. Her encouraging guidance included Michael, in comforting and supporting me during labor. The best support post birth, encouraging, nurturing foods, sleep, tending baby anything I needed around the house. A blessing to our family.
