meet JANIKA
About Me-
Hi, I’m Janika. I am a Certified intuitive Craniosacral Therapist (ICST), health and fitness coach, and retired professional ballerina. With over 15 years of experience in the health, fitness, and wellness community, I have always embraced a holistic lifestyle.
I love immersing myself in God's word and diving into books about personal growth and healing. Spending quality time with my family, exploring nature, and deepening my connection with God are all priorities in my life. As a Utah native, I also have a passion for traveling and experiencing the beauty of God's creations. Staying physically fit, dancing, and enjoying nutritious foods are important to me and bring me great joy.
My Passion and Approach-
At the core of my practice, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals reconnect with their body, mind, and spirit. I believe in the body's innate ability to heal. Today, many people carry stress, tension, and unresolved emotions that manifest as illnesses, pain, and trauma. I facilitate the release of these trapped emotions, often located in the chakras, through gentle manipulation of the cranial sutures, balancing the cranial spinal fluid and sacrum. This process restores balance, clarity, and a profound sense of peace, reconnecting you with your heart and your boundless potential.
My mentor, Andrea Carver, taught me the three stages of becoming aware of your healing journey:
- Realizing you’ve been living unaware.
- Becoming aware of your unawareness.
- Becoming aware that you are aware.
True transformation and healing begin at the third stage, awakening you to your life and allowing healing to unfold.
My Story-
I have lived a very human life, filled with heartache, loss, divorce, and numerous lessons. Each experience has shaped me into the woman I am today. I believe we can only extend love to others to the extent that we love ourselves. I feel called by God to this work, grateful for the healed wounds and lessons that allow me to help others heal.
As a little girl, I had my heart broken. I believed love was elusive and unsafe, leading me to search for it in the wrong places, only to face repeated heartbreak throughout my life. This disconnection brought deep sadness and hopelessness. At my lowest point and then getting really sick, I turned to God pleading for guidance and to help me heal my wounds. What followed was a period of profound transformation—a pruning season that stripped away my old life and stories, making way for a new beginning and a redefined understanding of love and purpose.
Intuitive Craniosacral therapy with Andrea, helped lift the dark cloud over me, bringing clarity and, most importantly, reopening my heart and connecting my body, mind, and spirit. One unforgettable night of prayer, I felt a deep, unconditional love in my heart that I had never experienced so profoundly before. God had opened my heart and gifted me with a new one. In that moment, my heart was healed, and my life has changed significantly since then. I experienced profound forgiveness for myself and others, which filled me with a deep compassion. This powerful encounter reminded me that God created our bodies with the ability to heal. I began to notice how many people are disconnected from their hearts and love, as their past wounds, thoughts, and emotions often control their lives. Becoming hypersensitive to this energy became the passion and drive for what God had planned for me next. While fully trusting him to lead my life, a last minute opening to train with Andrea Carver became available and I being in the right place and the right time, I filled that final spot.
I believe that God is the ultimate healer in this process; my role is merely to facilitate. I serve as a bridge between you and God. I see craniosacral therapy as a spiritual experience that offers a rare chance for the body, mind, and spirit to find stillness and connection, something we all struggle giving ourselves the opportunity to do.
I am grateful for the life experiences that have shaped me. The challenges and lessons I've faced have guided me to where I am today. I've always been passionate about coaching and connecting with people, and I cherish being part of their transformation. I don’t take credit or blame for the outcomes of a craniosacral session; I see myself as a facilitator, with the real healing happening within each client's own healing journey. I follow each client's lead and pace, providing them the space to peel away layers and experience their own awakening.
I believe that God turns our greatest sorrows and weaknesses into our greatest strengths in this life, and that we all have a deeper purpose here. My goal is to guide as many people as possible back to their hearts and to the realization that love is not something to be found outside ourselves, but something we have always carried within.
"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is no disease that enough love will not heal. No door that enough love will not open. No gulf that enough love will not bridge. And no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seeded may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddled the tangle. How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world. " -Louise Hay
