Hi, I’m Janet

No healing modalities are a quick-fix - With consistent practice, Kundalini yoga, therapy, healthy lifestyle and energy healing modalities have transformed my life. And then I wrote a memoir :)

The combination results in physical strength, calmness, self acceptance and an increasing trust in the flow of life.  It's a commitment to one's self - one's spirit.  It’s also a reset and a myth-buster - of what happiness is. It’s not being happy all the time - it’s trusting the flow of life and learning from all of life’s lessons - both the joys and the hard stuff.

Under my therapist’s care, I slowly eliminated crutches like alcohol and junk food as medication and established a foundation for health and well being. I’ve been alcohol free and living a vegan lifestyle ever since. My yoga spiritual name is Deg Ajeet Kaur, the sacred Princess/Lioness of God who overcomes every obstacle by embodying graciousness, hospitality and kindness in the world.  It’s a vision for myself - I go by Janet. :)

My goal is to connect with others, sharing strategies for healing offerings , yoga, earth love and sacred ceremony. We accept and love ourselves and take time to connect with our inner selves, with each other and the beautiful planet we inhabit.

All of these offerings are what make up Rosehip26, LLC - established in 2018. Make an appointment to talk to about physical, spiritual and emotional needs for yourself or your loved ones, and witness the benefits of the spiritual intuitive practice and toolbox of strategies including energy medicine, integrative touch and other energy healing modalities. Children benefit as well for help with sensitivity, anxiety, impulsivity and other stressors. I’m is also available for home visits for hospice care, vigil and end-of-life transition. Join me Sundays, in Amherst or via Zoom for a 8:30 am EST Kundalini Yoga Class - beginners welcome.
