You want things to change.
In work, money, or life.
But moving forward feels harder than it should.

You think about it.
You plan.
You know something needs to move forward.

But when it comes to actually taking steps, you hesitate, pull back, or get stuck —
and somehow, you end up in the same place again.

I help people REACH GOALS when something inside keeps stopping them.

I don’t work with motivation, pressure, or “trying harder.”
I work with the inner reactions that show up when it’s time to act —
the hesitation, the fear, the freeze, the pull to avoid.

“You know what you need to do.
Or maybe everything feels so overwhelming you don’t know where to start.”

Not because you’re lazy or broken —
but because parts of you don’t feel safe yet.

You try to push through, stay productive, do all the right things.
But under the surface?

There’s a part of you that’s still terrified to mess it up, get it wrong, or let someone down.

That’s not a motivation problem.
That’s younger, vulnerable part of you pulling the handbrake —
right when you’re about to take action — because they don’t feel safe yet.

And no productivity hack will fix that — because it was never about willpower. It’s been about safety.

I help thoughtful, introspective people untangle that fear and rebuild self-worth from the inside out — using IFS and EFT.

Get 20% off your first 1:1 session
Let’s meet the part gently.

Do you want to make more money —
but when you think about asking for it,
your stomach drops, your chest tightens, or you suddenly avoid it?

Do you want to feel more abundant —
but instead you feel tense around money, second-guess yourself, or hold back?

Do you feel like you want to do something meaningful with your life —
but you keep choosing the safer options?

Have you ever had big dreams —
and now think, “This is not where I thought I’d be by now”?

Do you want your work to be visible —
but you stop yourself because being seen feels uncomfortable or risky?

Do you want to speak more freely —
but your voice tightens, your mind goes blank, or you suddenly go quiet?

These goals are great but they stay in the planning and preparation mode.
Why? Because your body-mind systems reacts negatively to these big thing and pulls a handbrake.

How this work is different

Let's Look At Your Goals in Life

(NOT MOTIVATION, NOT PUSHING)

This is not motivation coaching.

You already know what you should do.
Being told to “just do it” or “push harder” doesn’t help.

Instead of forcing change, we work with what actually happens inside you
right at the moment you want to act.

That moment when you sit down to do the thing —
and suddenly don’t want to.
Your body tightens.
Your mind looks for distractions.
You think, “I’ll do it later.”

That stopping reaction isn’t laziness.
It’s often protective or exiled.

In this work, we call that reaction a part.

This is why pushing harder hasn’t worked.
And why productivity tools only help for a while.

You’re not fighting a lack of discipline.
You’re meeting a protective system that hasn’t felt safe yet.

Once this makes sense, the self-blame can stop.

Why this matters

What’s really happening

You don’t avoid action because you don’t care.
You avoid it because a part of you learned that trying can be dangerous.

Dangerous might have meant: being criticized, getting it wrong, disappointing someone, losing connection, being seen.

So when you’re about to take a step forward, that part steps in.

It slows you down.
Distracts you.
Makes you doubt yourself.
Pulls the handbrake right when momentum starts to build.

Not to sabotage you.
But to protect you.

From its point of view, not acting feels safer.

WHAT “PARTS” MEAN HERE

A part is just a reaction you’ve learned.

Everyone has them.

For example:
• a part that wants to move forward
• a part that gets scared and pulls back
• a part that avoids risk
• a part that stays quiet to feel safe
• a part that learned not to want too much

These parts are protective or exiled. They developed to keep you safe at some point in your life.

They’re not bad.
They’re not broken.
They’re just doing an old job.

The problem is not that these parts exist.
The problem is that we do not connect with them and hold space for them and update them.

About Me

I don’t push you to change.


I don’t try to fix you or motivate you to be someone else.

Our work starts by slowing things down.

Together, we pay attention to the moments where something in you pulls back
before speaking up, asking for more, being seen, or taking the next step in your relationship.
Not to get rid of these parts, but to understand what they’re protecting.

I work with parts of you that learned to stay quiet, incapable, or “good”.
We meet them with understanding, not pressure. And we help them.

This is not about becoming more confident on the outside.
It’s about rebuilding trust on the inside.

When your parts start to feel understood, movement happens naturally.

I’m a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner and a Clinical EFT Practitioner.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, parts-based approaches, with a focus on shame, anxiety, self-worth, and expression.

What Changes

• confidence feels steadier

• speaking feels safer

• money feels less charged

• moving toward your goals stops feeling like a fight

Not because you forced yourself — but because your system stopped pulling against itself.

This is about real confidence and real power — the kind that doesn’t depend on performance or success.

QUALIFICATIONS

Methods I use

IFS

We all know situations in our lives when we feel like one part of us wants to do this, but another part wants something completely different. Or perhaps you wish you would have some characteristics/ or wish a personality trait or behavioral pattern would go away?

IFS (Internal Family System Model) is based on idea that we are made up of multiple sub-personalities/parts, each with its own unique viewpoints and qualities and its normal. These sub-personalities/parts are often pushed to fulfill extreme, unnatural roles based on past trauma.

EFT

Work through emotional trauma from childhood, birth trauma, conception, ancestry, and even past lives with Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). We use the EFT tapping on meridian pathways to rewire our brain, adding new connections and cutting off the neural pathways that no longer serve us.

For example, tapping on acupuncture points soothes the body and sends a signal of safety to our limbic part of the brain. The limbic system usually responds to the physiological signal of safety, overrides the psychological signal of danger, and produces delta waves (relaxation and deep sleep waves).

As a result, the conditioned loop is broken, and we are rewiring the subconscious mind (powerful information processor that runs automatic, often undesirable program behaviors).

Working Together

I work with people in individual sessions, online or in person.

This work is especially helpful if you:
• feel held back
• want more freedom, expression, or impact
• have tried motivation and “try harder” approaches and ended up looping back
• feel like your system is resisting and you need a different, more considerate approach
• don’t want to force yourself anymore but still want results
• want change that lasts, not quick fixes

TESTIMONIALS

I had 2 sessions with Jana and they were both very insightful! I am new to IFS so wasn't sure how the sessions would go but because of Jana's beautiful energy and calm, compassionate presence, I was able to connect with many parts of myself. It turns out they had a lot to say! This modality is wonderful for gaining awareness and information into the conflicting parts that we otherwise might never recognize. Jana talked me through the process with a kind heart, intuitive wisdom, and held a beautiful space for me to comfortably go inward. I highly recommend getting some sessions with her. You will be so glad you did and will come away knowing yourself in a way that you didn't before.
