Hi, I’m Jan.
I’m a longtime mindfulness practitioner, a Reiki practitioner, and author. My first book, Keeper of the Clearing, was published this past June. It began as a story for children, but it has found a home with readers of all ages. Through the journey of three forest creatures, the book gently introduces the values of kindness, compassion, and mindful living, inspired by the Eightfold Path.
For more than a decade, mindfulness has helped me meet chronic pain with awareness and compassion. It didn’t erase the pain, but it gave me tools to carry it more gently. That experience shaped the way I now work with others, offering presence, comfort, and care in whatever form feels most supportive to them.
I believe healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people are drawn to Reiki’s calming, intuitive touch. Others benefit from guided mindfulness practices to help them relate differently to stress, discomfort, or overwhelm. Many enjoy a blend of both. However you arrive, my role is to offer a steady, respectful space where you feel safe, supported, and heard.
I offer Reiki and Mindfulness sessions in the beauty of the Grande Ronde Valley in La Grande, Oregon, or through distance sessions via phone or video conferencing. Whether you’re seeking relief, rest, or simply time to breathe and reset, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
