About Janis
From an early age, Janis felt a deep desire to transform lives. Despite having found her path at such a young age, it was her difficulty in walking the path that lead her to create solutions for other healers and coaches. Today she devotes her time and expertise to assisting others with similar callings to build thriving practices and balanced lives.
I was such a shy child. In preschool my teachers even thought I was a deaf mute, because I never spoke a word to anyone! I remember thinking to myself, that when I had something to say I would speak up. But over the years it became clear that I had a classic case of fear of public speaking.
This rather embarrassing condition led me to every healing technique I could find. When I accidentally stumbled upon NLP, I realized my search was over. It was as if a switch had been flipped in my mind- the fear had completely subsided. And all of a sudden, I knew I was meant to teach. It was that day that I understood that when you overcome your deepest fear you unlock your greatest potential.
Besides being the founder and director of Lightwork Seminars, Intl. and HybridNLP, Janis is regarded as a leader in the diverse field of holistic healing and is one of most highly respected trainers in personal development methodologies today.
Janis began studying meditation at the age of 11, inspired to further develop and understand her natural intuitive gift, and by the age of 20 was certified as a Hypnotherapist and Past Life Regressionist. Since that time she has been dedicated to learning different healing modalities in order to better serve her clients. She has helped thousands of seekers and healers to clear conscious and unconscious barriers to creating successful practices and exceptional lives.
In addition to being a Licensed Trainer of NLP and Hypnotherapy, Janis is also a skilled Transpersonal Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Reiki Master, Interfaith Minister, Theta Healerâ„¢, Health and Success Coach, Past Life Regression Specialist, and Spiritual Healer.
When she’s not teaching, she writes books, records meditation CDs and runs a successful coaching practice in San Francisco, CA. When she’s not working, she’s traveling the world, relaxing in Dolores Park, or creating delicious vegan dishes for friends. She can be reached at 415-637-4971.
