In her early twenties, Janell was a professional horse trainer, working with horses known as “outlaws.” These were aggressive, ornery horses that others had given up on. These horses were considered too out of control and dangerous for people to ride. Incredibly, Janell connected with them. She realized that the horses were in pain, something was out of alignment, or they were severely misunderstood. It was so clear to her. Others did not see what Janell saw and believed it was a miracle the horses had transformed from wild and angry to peaceful and calm in a short period of time. Through this process Janell rediscovered her intuitive gifts. Gifts that had been shut down in school. Gifts that had been shut down in social gatherings. Gifts that had been almost completely shut down inside her. This was a major step in embracing who she was… an intuitive energy healer. But she wasn’t there yet. Another key piece of the puzzle awaited her.

Janell took several trips to Russia in her twenties to assist schools for the most underprivileged children who had so little. These students regularly experienced hardship and trauma. One of the other teachers noticed Janell struggling with reading and asked her if she was dyslexic? Janell had no idea what she was talking about, but soon discovered that she was dyslexic. A wave of intense emotions poured out of Janell as she realized she wasn’t broken. Like the outlaw horses, she had been misunderstood all those years. Janell’s life took a dramatic turn with this shift. When that was combined with her other breakthroughs, she became a Learning Specialist.

As a Learning Specialist, Janell helped clients with a range of struggles including autism and dyslexia. She studied the mind, how it works, and developed techniques to best assist clients in overcoming their biggest challenges. Initially, this appeared so different from being a horse trainer. As Janell continued to improve the quality of services for clients, she noticed that there was a lot of overlap between working with horses and working with people. She did things that significantly helped people quickly, but in the beginning, she didn’t know exactly what was going on. She just knew it worked incredibly well.

Janell came to realize that another critical component to her success with clients and horses was energetic healing. She loved the use of energy, intuition, and her gifts to help people, but it was something she didn’t publicly talk about. Janell had picked up the idea that maybe this was too woo-woo for her clients and the community to embrace—let alone accept. Although the results her clients were experiencing were phenomenal, Janell wondered if in another time what she was doing would be considered witchcraft. She certainly didn’t want to be a witch and all the negativity associated with that.

So, Janell continued to help clients have amazing changes but started to intensely study all forms of energetic healing. It became a passion where she found the best energy healers and studied under them. Slowly, she started to change her perception of energetic healing. It had nothing to do with witches and all that nonsense. It had everything to do with embracing love and light energy. Connecting to God or Source. Before covid, Janell broke through her limiting beliefs about what it meant to be an energy healer and embraced it publicly. Although looking back Janell had done energy work starting with the horses and continuing forward, it took her some reflection to connect the dots.

Suddenly, it all made sense. Being a horse trainer, a learning specialist, and energetic healer were all part of her journey. They weren’t separate entities but different parts of who she was. It was embracing the combination of them that provided wholeness. They were no more separate than your right arm is to the left leg. They are just different parts of you. This powerful insight helped Janell realize that when we elevate and expand our awareness, we see life through a different perspective. This was the final shift to Janell embracing her identity as an energy healer.

Janell’s journey is one of embracing who you are and becoming more and more authentic. Because it’s hard to be authentic if you don’t know who you are and what your purpose is. When you do know, though, it’s truly life changing.

Janell doesn’t pray to God to fix her anymore. Instead, she’s grateful for her gifts. Janell accepts that some things will never be in her wheelhouse. And that’s more than okay, it’s fantastic! She will never win a spelling competition. But what she can do is help people make profound shifts with her gifts. Compare that to being a poor speller and there is no comparison.

For the past decades, Janell has expanded her knowledge and abilities as an energetic healer by studying under the top experts in energy, personal development, and intuition. With Janell’s profound knowledge and expertise, she regularly guides clients towards recognizing and overcoming their energetic blocks—emotional burdens that manifest into feelings of, “I’m not enough,” fear, guilt, and lack of confidence. Janell’s happiest moments are seeing people recognize who they really are, what their gifts are, how to use them, and what their life purpose is. These transformations allow people to be genuinely authentic, use their intuitive or energetic gifts, and live a life of meaning and purpose.

Janell’s journey took her a long time to sort everything out and realize who she really was, what her gifts were, and how to best use them. Today, Janell loves compressing time so this process can be done in days or weeks rather than the decades it took her originally. Janell believes when you understand your past you get clarity on your future.
