Getting Started With Janice Loomis

I have been studying how to work with pain all my life. I learned that I needed a lot of answers to why people hurt.

As a massage therapist I discovered early on that I didn't need to push my elbows into someone's tissue to get it to release. My hands are incredibly sensitive and can generally detect where they need to work. Working on many levels, I can then facilitate the release of energetic blockages,i.e. pain. Together with my client, we process what is necessary to heal the pain. Occasionally it takes a while to peel back the layers of discomfort to arrive back at the source. The result is generally diminishment of, or release from pain, increased awareness and freedom of motion.

My quest has resulted in work that is very intuitive,feather light, yet highly effective. Incorporating the very gentle touch of myofascial release with the skills of a body-centered therapist, I can guide you to do what is helpful to heal by teaching you to re-source yourself.
