Janina`s mission is to support and empower others to grow in self-awareness and understanding of themselves so that they can create and maintain long-lasting health and well-being. She acknowledges, that nothing we experience is random, but rather the result of being multidimensional beings, where our physical body, emotions, mind, and soul communicate with each other, always striving for our highest good and potential. When we get out of balance, our body, mind, and soul present us with different symptoms. By understanding and honoring these symptoms and using them as a guide, we can recognize what lies beyond and can create a healthy life, where fulfillment, joy, and authenticity build the foundation.
