"I have been a therapist for thirty years and first met Janie when I interviewed her for an article for a local paper, I think. She is an 'easy to be with' person, with a warmth that drew me towards her. After my mother died I immediately decided that I'd consult her. Even though, the thought of exposing my 'art skills' or lack thereof made me feel nauseous. However, Janie persisted - encouraging me to put pencil/brush to the page and midwifing my concerns. To my surprise the process was gentle and nourishing and what's more turned me into a art journal addict. I often refer people to Janie and would refer my dearest child to her, should they need her services." - Gaye S
"Art therapy has played an important role in my journey to recovery from anorexia nervosa. The use of different art mediums and movement helped me to express emotions that I could not put into words. I found this at times very raw but also incredibly healing. Janie’s caring and calm nature made me feel very safe and validated during our sessions which I feel incredibly grateful for. I highly recommend Janie and art therapy to anyone needing support." - Anonymous
"I took my teenage daughter to see Janie when she was struggling with our family breakup and anxiety. Janie always creates a warm environment that helped my kid to open up and get the support she needed." - K
"Janie's gentle affirmation of my process and her prompts for the art were unobtrusive - she is a gentle guide and seeks to love everything you do, like your favourite aunt might." - Anonymous
