About Janelle
Hi — I'm glad you're here.
I'm Janelle, your provider on this healing journey toward greater ease, resilience, and nervous system balance. Clients often tell me what they remember most is not a technique — it's how safe they felt.
I am warm, grounded, and genuinely curious about your experience. I am not here to impress you. I am here to create trust.
Take a gentle next stepWhy I do this work
I found CranioSacral Therapy after a minor car accident that left me struggling to bounce back. A few sessions in, I was sleeping better and my pain was easing. As life continued — with its grief, transitions, and hard seasons — CST helped me heal physically, mentally, and emotionally in ways I had not found elsewhere.
My own path has included grief after losing my father, religious transition, recovery from emotional and financial abuse, complex trauma, and the slow work of discovering my authentic self. CranioSacral Therapy did not fix me. It helped create conditions where healing could emerge — and that shaped everything about how I practice today.
Healing becomes possible when we move from reactivity to curiosity.
How I view healing
I do not see people as broken. I see people who need safety, support, curiosity, and appropriate guidance. Healing is client-led. You set the pace. You remain in charge of your process.
In session, we work together to support your body's natural ability to self-heal — easing fascial tension, helping body and mind reconnect, and creating space for your nervous system to regulate. Support for both physical and emotional challenges is always welcome here.
What clients often experience
People describe feeling seen, understood, supported, welcomed, and safe. Many arrive skeptical or overwhelmed. Many have been dismissed elsewhere. My goal is that you leave knowing your experience matters — and that there may be options you have not yet explored.
You never have to choose between science and humanity
Credentials matter — and so does how you feel in the room. This practice is built on both.
-
Trauma-informed care
You set the pace. Consent, safety, and feeling seen come first — always.
-
Science & lived experience
Deep anatomical understanding paired with genuine warmth. You never have to choose between the two.
-
Client-led healing
People are not broken. I create conditions where your own healing can emerge.

I see people of all ages and backgrounds from my quiet home-based office in North Salt Lake. When I'm not in session, I love gardening, preserving, baking sourdough, and time with my golden retriever.
I would be honored to support you.
Come as you are. Be comfortable. Be open to whatever shows up.
