Working with all age ranges from youth to seniors, including kids yoga, chair yoga, and all levels in between. With a mental health focus, sessions are geared to a more restorative style to intentionally slow down, connect with yourself, and be in the present
moment to find balance in stillness. With a mission to “pause, breathe, and move through life
with love,” Janice integrates psychology, and trauma-informed practices to create a supportive environment for self-growth and healing.

Coremess is defined as center of confusion. When you break that down “core” being your
physical center and “mess” meaning life is messy. Whether you are dealing with internal
struggles, career, relationships, or just trying to get your life together. When we pause, breathe and come back to our center, we can become whole again.
Coremess Wellness provides a safe space for you to be in the present moment; to experience, enjoy, and love your life. Be gentle with yourself, give yourself grace, and forgive yourself. Coremess reminds you to acknowledge any feelings or thoughts that come to you and let go of anything that is taking up unnecessary space in your heart.
Connect with your energy, vibrations, and higher self to improve your responses when life gets messy!
