Janice studied Massage Therapy in 1982 at the Brenneke School of Massage in Seattle Washington. She also studied other various forms of massage and healing methods in Southern California and Chicago Illinois.

In 1984, Janice received her second level degree. In 1985 she studied with Phyllis Furomoto, Takatas grandaughter to prepare for her Masters degree.In May of 1991, she recieved her Masters, the fourth and final level degree.

Madelyn walked into my healing studio bent over and barely able to walk. I helped her onto the massage table. She had already told me on the phone that she had constant back pain and spasms for over 3 months. After going to all types of Doctors and trying all kinds of healings, she still was relegated to spending her time on her sofa and getting up only to use the toilet. I began doing gentle massage and Reiki on her back. My mind was flooded with images. I told her that I saw a young boy come to live with her and that she raised him like her son. She said yes, that her sister died when the boy was only five years old and she took him in. Then I told her I saw that he had lived into his early thirties and that he drowned in a boating accident. She said all that was true and started to cry. I told her that we hold our anger between our Scapulas (Angel wings) and that was where her pain was generating. She and I talked further sharing many details as I continued to massage and Reiki her. After her treatment, she walked almost with a skip. She was so relieved that the pain was gone. She laughed and said; "When can I come back for some more of this good stuff?"
