Late this summer I began experiencing sciatica symptoms (back pain, shooting pains from my left hip down my leg, and tingling in my left foot) that made it increasingly difficult for me to walk any distance. I had to give up my daily exercise walks, and even walking short distances or standing on a hard surface was painful. After an initial consultation, Janet started me out with a hot-stone massage and a partial reflexology session (and suggested some gentle exercises for stretching and strengthening my lower-back and abdominal muscles), and the relief was immediate! A few days later I was able to walk comfortably, with minimal pain--including a full day of walking all over Manhattan (followed by running through Penn Station to catch an Amtrak train!). After a second, full reflexology session a few weeks later, my symptoms are virtually gone. I am able to enjoy walking once again. Janet really does have healing hands!

"I want you to know how much better I have felt since our 2-hour session. While my lower back is not much better (and not what I came to you for), my upper back/shoulder/arm are significantly better. I still had some "burn" in my shoulder blade area as I was driving home. And I could feel a little ache where you had spent (gently and barely noticeable) time on my C4. I took... your advice and took it easy the rest of the day. I had the best nights sleep that night than I've had in a long time, and the next morning felt fantastic! The upper back pain and arm pain is mostly gone and my range of motion is dramatically improved. I even noticed this morning that I could pour a cup of coffee without pain in my arm - something that has not happened for a very long time! Thank you, thank you thank you!!"

Before I met Janet Jacobs, I was a skeptic about the medicinal merits of massage.
Before I met Janet Jacobs, I lived with chronic post herpetic neuralgia from a misdiagnosed case of shingles that caused permanent nerve damage in my spine.
I didn't know that massage, with specific intention for healing could reconnect me.
I didn't know the nerve damage I held in my body was blocking my energy!
I didn't know...until her hands skillfully connected me to the wellness answers deep inside myself.
In my five years of knowing Janet Jacobs, I have changed, grown and healed in ways I never thought possible. Janet meets her patients where they are, reaches them with patience, and listens with nuanced intuition. She is not only a healer, but a teacher! When she listens, you feel heard. When she releases stuck energy held in the body for years, the life trapped within is renewed, refreshed, and re-awakened. I have witnessed her locate trapped energy I never knew I held, until I felt it leave my body!
Truly refreshing!
If you have tried everything else with little relief, or are marinating in expensive pharmaceutical cocktails that barely touch the pain, begin YOUR personal healing journey with Janet Jacobs.

CROSS THE BRIDGE from fear to fearlessness -- and fly!
I recently had the pleasure of reflexology treatment from Janet. My experience was far beyond my expectations. I had reflexology treatments before by others, but they always turned out to be so painful that I seriously considered not ever getting them again. I am so glad that I found Janet with the magical hands! The sense of peace and tranquility during the treatment was just so far beyond relaxing that I probably would have stayed there all day sleeping. Janet has given me massage, energy tune-ups, cranial sacral therapy and a host of others during my time here. I always look forward to these magical moments with the wonderful lady with the magical, soothing hands! Truthfully, I have had many, many kinds of therapy (energy work, chakra clearing, crystal therapy, reiki, shamanic clearing, hot stone massage, lymphatic and the rest) but with Janet, I can honestly say I can truly feel the energy shifting within. We are so lucky to have this wonderful soul here with us at this place and time. We are blessed and loved! So I say again, Thank you Janet.

I was talking with Janet about my ovarian cysts, and wondered if there was anything non-surgical that I could do to alleviate the symptoms that are associated with them. She suggested "Integrative Energy Therapy." I tried it and was amazed that I could feel that kind of energy flow throughout my body. Upon my following physical, I was informed by my physician that my cysts were gone. I believe that the therapy that I received from Janet was key in my healing. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try other options other than surgery or traditional medicine.
I had major back surgery performed in August 2007. I started Physical Therapy just a few weeks after my surgery. Four months later, I was still feeling a lot of discomfort and stiffness in my back. I wasn’t sleeping through the nights. I became very depressed. Because of the pain I was experiencing, I was not yet able to return to work.
I went to Janet for Integrative Energy Therapy. After just a three sessions, my pain level decreased tremendously, which enabled me to reduce my medications by more than half. I felt less depressed, and much more relaxed and at peace. Sleeping through the night was no longer a problem. I had an x-ray taken after my fourth session; it showed that my spine was 95% fused (ten weeks earlier it was only slightly fused). At this point, my doctor released me to return to work.
I really believe that the Energy Therapy I received from Janet contributed to my healing. Janet also taught me some techniques that I could do myself at home.
My sessions with Janet were the highlight of my week. I could feel the energy moving through my body, and the stress fading away. My body was relaxed; my mind felt clear. I feel that Integrative Energy Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, physically and emotionally.

Each time I go for a therapy session with Janet is truly unique for me in terms of the incredibly blissful and healing experience I receive. Janet has truly created nothing short of a sacred space where anyone can completely unwind and leave the craziness of the world behind.
Massage therapy is a highly individualized sort of thing, hence one can go as deep as one desires through the practice and experience of massage therapy with Janet. With experience you learn to completely let go during your massage therapy session which enables you to go places you've never imagined possible.
One way to describe the process is a gradual peeling away of layers where you eventually discover your authentic-self, your spirit. Janet's massage room is consciously and lovingly designed to be the most comfortable and relaxing place you've ever been, where you can easily leave all of your worries behind. Each time I complete a session with Janet, I am completely transformed in powerful ways and tell her how much I appreciate what she is able to do for me with her incredibly healing and intuitive touch.
I also feel compassion for people who have never had the gift of such an incredibly healing experience since if they had any idea how transformative a session with Janet could be, they would do it without a second thought.

When talking with Janet about the negative energy that I was absorbing, she created a blend of essential oils and suggested that I apply them to my chakras.
I feel like I went from being a sponge, to a piece of memory foam. The negativity seems to touch and dent me, but it is quickly thrown back in to the universe. What needs to be dealt with IS, but I do not feel consumed by it. My spirit has been lightened!
