“I have been a member of Janet’s Wellness and Meditation Circle for close to a year. And, I must admit that I had grave reservations about both the value and effectiveness of meditation prior to joining. However, my life has changed for the better and I give a lot of credit to these Wednesday sessions. The other participants have become friends and family to me. We have opened up to one another because that is the positive environment that Janet created for us.”

“Through our wellness coaching sessions, Janet has helped me identify my wellness goals and work towards them in concrete ways. Her specific suggestions have reduced my stress load so much. She has helped me realize that I do not have to settle for a mentality of “just getting through it” at work. Thanks to her consistent coaching, I can now see that I deserve to thrive and live with ease in all aspects of my life, both work and personal.”

“Janet helped me claim the importance of radical self-care. And she goes about this work in her wise, compassionate, funny, and gentle manner. What a gift.”

"I am thankful for a space where PJJ [Professor Janet Jackson] has acknowledged the stressful times that everyone is going through. It helped to have a professor acknowledge [it] and to affirm that it is okay if it takes some time to adjust or even find a new routine. Simply having PJJ affirm my feelings was extremely reassuring for me, it made me feel seen."

"What risk would you take if you knew you could not fail?" My answer: I would boldly step out in the world and live my truth. I have come to understand how much the crippling nature of the fear of failure affects my daily life. Without realising it, I have been allowing unfounded fear to dictate what I do and how much I embrace life. In the moments, I want to let go, take a deep breath with the awarness that it will all be okay.”
