Janice was brought in to lead a drum circle at a women's event that I was hosting.  I knew it would be powerful, because of the combination of Janice, drums and sound healing.  But I never anticipated just HOW powerful it would be.  Janice carries such strong healing medicine and when she guides a group it becomes a transformative experience.  As we collectively found our rhythm and our voices, I felt a profound expansion happening.  I couldn't sit still and I had to move and dance as I sounded and beat the drum.  I felt so incredibly alive and everything felt in perfect alignment.  Pounding, dancing, shaking, sounding and vibrating were all occurring simultaneously and I looked at the woman across from me and I said, "THIS is how we are meant to be."  And I never felt more of a truth ring through me.  I felt as if we were all in our natural state of wild, aliveness.  I'm so grateful for the healing Janice allows to flow through her as she guides circles.”

I was first introduced to Janice’s work at a casual backyard drumming circle towards the beginning of the pandemic. I have had my own drumming and sounding practice for many years and been in many drum circles but there was something very different that happened with Janice. Something awakened in me that gave me permission to channel through my voice and drum in a way I hadn’t before. There was a great knowing that occurred, a magical feeling of the ancestors coming together and working together to empower us to release all that inhibits and stifles our voices and power. I immediately knew I wanted to work with Janice in whatever capacity I could and learn to hone my channel as she had. I was moved by her story and felt a deep resonance with how toxic shame in our culture had prevented us from stepping into our power and voice. I experienced her work again with a larger group of women at the Wise Woman Summit. I was blown away by the power that was generated under Janice’s leadership and opening to the ancestors. I was planning some online retreats and had invited her to come teach and lead us in a drum circle. Although different than being in person, the result was the same. Janice’s power came through as she led us, each in our own homes. What a tremendous gift! We were speechless when she had finished. I hope others will be able to experience her work and allow themselves to be opened by it. She and her ancestral lineage are a precious gift in these awakening times.

I recently participated in a drum circle led by Janice and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I was crying but I wasn't sad. It was as if the totality & fullness of all human emotion existed simultaneously. While I felt many of the shadow emotions, sadness, grief and like, more than anything I felt immense and overwhelming gratitude. And then the boundary between others and I completely evaporated and I felt as if I were truly one with all the people and the world around me. I felt the immensity and grandness of life whilst also feeling the fleeting brevity of life. It was magnificent. And at one point, when I closed my eyes, I saw my father and a circle of ancestors and guides all around me. It was the closest I've felt to God. Janice has fully embraced her gifts to be a facilitator of these powerful experiences. It was a true blessing to experience. And the experience has somehow softened me to the core. I walk around a little more sure of my connection to source, to nature, to others and to my animal friends. Deepest bow of gratitude to Janice and the sharing of her gifts with me and the world.

To say Janice's drumming circles are magical would be an understatement. Her circles manifest and showcase the healing heartbeat of the Divine. The energy produced at these gatherings opens the soul and, if you allow it, will change you forever.

Janice's ability to work with the ancestors through her drumming and chanting is a profound and healing gift. The words that passed through her landed on a soul level ~ a space where traditional interpretation is not needed. I and others in our circle received a message of love and pain and human connection across time, cultures, and worlds.” 

Listening to Janice drum felt other worldly, like racing through time and going back to witness a sacred practice less common in today's world. It was both electrifying and soothing. You are a vessel for some seriously spiritual force, and you totally let that be, rather than fight it. Your experience of being shamed as a child for being Native American allows for Divine tenderness, but you are also crazy FIERCE and ready to explode like a comet across the sky.

Janice, your ancestral gift of toning, drumming and healing is unlike anything I have ever experienced. It is clear that it comes from something much bigger than this life time. I watched you use your gift to transform a group of strangers. What began as a curiosity for them became a Divine healing experience that deepened the bond of all who watched. You are an amazing women! I am changed for the better because of you.

Janice, your drumming and your toning were amazing. I was so moved by it and was so blessed you allowed me to experience your heritage...I felt the ending of your drumming was a call to Mother Mary, a cry to all women....You are such a wonderful woman and I for one feel like you made me feel really safe and loved.

Janice sees you on a soul level! She doesn't care who you were or where you've been, only where you are going and how she can support you in that journey. My sound therapy session with Janice has been one of the most spiritual experiences I have ever had. I asked Janice to help me move stagnant energy in my body. To help me release old behavior patterns and ways of thinking. I asked her to help me become the being my soul is asking me to be...and she did. I can't thank her enough.
