Jane Sanguinetti, CMT and Reiki Master Teacher

I believe that daily life is full of miracles and that if our perception is clear, we will feel loved, cared for, and at peace every moment of our lives. My contribution to the people in my life is to support them in seeing what is true; that they are perfect, powerful and free just as they are, right at this very moment. I am constantly amazed at the beauty and struggles of life and remain humbled by the blessings of grace we are all given.
My healing work aims to reconnect people with their true essence, reclaiming their authentic selves and affirming their divine birth right.

Bodywork and Massage Offerings

Every massage, bodywork, and energetic session is unique. Jane listens carefully to her clients about what they would like to experience on the table and what their intentions are for the session and then meets them where they are. She intuits what the body, mind and spirit are asking for to reach the desired balance.

Jane's work is therapeutic, nurturing and holistic at the same time offering a deep massage that is felt on every level of being. Her work is usually a combination of the following modalities:

Swedish-Esalen

Long strokes down the body are used with the application of oil and aromatherapy with some light pressure, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscles. This is gentle and relaxing.

Deep Tissue

This type of massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Slower and deeper strokes and friction techniques are used across the grain of muscles. Clients who are chronically in pain, have repetitive strain, have postural problems, are recovering from injury, have limited mobility, and suffer from arthritis, muscle spasms and large amounts of stress will benefit greatly from regular deep tissue massage. It works by breaking down adhesions formed by rigid tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Craniosacral Balancing

This is a gentle and profound treatment that involves connecting and working with the craniosacral rhythm of the body to bring about balance, vitality, deep relaxation, and release of blockages, emotions, and tightly held tension in the body. The rhythm extends and can be felt throughout the body but most of the work takes place at the sacrum and hips, throughout the spine, and especially at the chest, neck and skull area. Work on the head and neck create a feeling of openness, expansion and clearing. The most unique attribute of this work is its ability to address and heal what is known as cellular memory, the various effects of physical or emotional trauma stored in the body.
For some people there is an over identification with the mind and its stories. This creates emotions that can be trapped in our bodies at the cellular level creating pain, inflexibility, blockages, negative thinking, and sometimes dis-ease. The process of fully accepting emotions creates a new healthier frequency - one of pure presence. Jane aims to help people feel safe expressing emotions thus guiding them to shift their frequency.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word made up of two words:
Rei, which means "God's Wisdom" or the "Higher Power," and
Ki, which is "life force energy." Therefore, Reiki is actually "Spiritually Guided life force energy.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or off) technique that brings about deep relaxation, feelings of peace, security and well-being, and an enhancement of the body's innate ability to heal itself. Reiki treats the whole person, including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a healing energy source in and of itself which connects with the spirit of the recipient and higher wisdom, thus guiding it to where it is most needed.

If you are interested in learning to give Reiki, please call Jane for class information.

Pre/Post Natal Massage

Jane has been specializing in pregnancy massage for 9 years. She is passionate about supporting and nurturing women throughout all stages of pregnancy and postpartum including conception. Using intuition and compassion, she is guided to perceive mom and baby's changing needs throughout the child birthing year. Care is given to assist women in finding joy and ease in their bodies and in their new role as mother. The focus of Jane's work is to help her clients create a strong connection with their baby while creating a nurturing, fertile, peaceful and positive environment in which mom and baby can thrive in.

Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

- Increases circulation of blood and chi which reduces and prevents swollen limbs, varicose veins, and leg cramps.- Releases endorphins, the body's natural pain killer, while relieving sore muscles. The whole back, ribcage and hips tend to be sore as the muscles stretch beyond their regular limits, taking on most of the weight of the baby- Reduces and prevents sciatica caused by pressure from the baby on the sciatic nerve.- Reduces and prevents stretch marks by improving elasticity of skin.- Brings nutrients to cells and releases toxins and emotions from tissues and cells in the body.- Reduces and prevents headaches and neck pain caused by an increased heart rate and blood volume. Massage soothes the nerves of the brain and balances the hemispheres, causing blood pressure to drop and heart rate to slow down.- Reduces fatigue, stress and insomnia relaxing both baby and mom and creates a balanced and peaceful mind.

Biweekly massage is recommended during the first and second trimester and weekly massage is recommended during the third. Postnatal massage is advised for three months after birth. It can lessen the new strain on the baby caused by breast feeding, holding your baby, sleep loss and serves to assist your body in retaining its regular shape especially with deep tissue massage work done on the organs and stomach.

I have worked with several body and energy healers over the past decades, a few of whom are clearly and exceptionally gifted. You are one the few who have, as yet, an undetermined depth and capacity to heal; IE, to create a state that allows the being (body, mind, emotion, spirit) to return to its intrinsic intelligence. You do this with an amazing and inspiring clarity and the strength of your being that makes a safe harbor for whatever needs and wants to happen.

I let go of chronic pains, tensions (some of which I was not aware of until they released) and too many internal blocks to enumerate here, in a stunningly short period of time. This leaves me with an experience of gratitude; which I hold as one of the most meaningful and beautiful experiences …allowing me to access my true joy of being alive.

Again, my heartfelt thank you.

'' I LOVE getting massages from Jane.   She is INCREDIBLE.   The space is beautiful, and feels soooo sacred.  I always feel like I'm walking into a visit with the Divine when I go in for a massage.  She is strong and wonderful as a massage therapist on the purely physical realm, but also, she really does move into a sacred space in the work she does.  I find myself drifting into deep healing.... My energy is completely transformed after work with her.  

Whenever I feel out or sorts, disconnected, overwhelmed or that I just need to really get in touch with myself, come home.... I know it's time to go see Jane.  

I LOVE her.  She is an incredible woman.  An incredible healer.  An inspiration.  

I also have been to a couple yoga classes & enjoyed them very much.  I look forward to going to more.  

I am so grateful Jane & Joy of Being are here on the coast.  She has been a tremendous resource for me in many areas of my life."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ane is really gifted. Very intuitive, and seems to sense what needs to be done. Not only did she save me prior to pregnancy, but kept me sane and comfortable while I was pregnant with big twins. I have had a lot of massage in my life and I can say she is the best." ~ Aimee

"Through CranioSacral bodywork and massage, Jane helped me restore movement and flexibility in my shoulder, neck and back that had been out of whack for years. I would not have believed the dramatic change that was possible had I not experienced it myself. Jane is one of those sensory-gifted people whose hands seem to find all the trouble spots and know how to mend them. She's a true healer who sincerely wants you to feel better and has the talent to help you get better. Another thing I appreciate with Jane is how she is ready to talk through some physical issues or leave you to relax in silence. She takes her cue from your mood and follows it. I can't recommend her enough." ~ Jackie

"Over the years I have been to a number of massage therapists and now that I have discovered Jane as my massage therapist I wouldn't consider changing again. Jane's bodywork on me helped me through two postpartum stages, a whole pregnancy as well as day to day issues from working full time and child rearing. She listens, feels, understands and responds to my individual needs in a holistic way.
"Jane addressed my chronic pain issues as well as specific bodywork needs especially due to pregnancy. She really helped make my pregnancy a lot more comfortable and overall I have not been this pain free in my adult life. Jane really understands the way the body works and responds to massage.
"Simply put, Jane works Magic! I would highly recommend her in a heartbeat." ~ Marcella

"I received my Reiki Master attunement and teacher training through Jane and her friend Paige, in November 2007. I was honored to have this opportunity. Jane conducted the training and attunement sessions, with Paige assisting at various times. I felt like Jane personalized the training for me, and at the same time, remained true to the principles and practice of Reiki in the Usui System.
The training I received from her was well organized and thorough. The combined energy and intentions of both Jane and Paige brought Reiki energy to my Master Level initiation, in a powerful way. Jane's presence continues to be an inspiring influence on my Reiki practice." ~ Ken Bauer (Reiki Master)

"She's wonderful! I have been suffering from neck and upper back pain for almost 2 years now. Countless visits to a Chiropractor were only temporarily relieving the pain. Jane's massage and Cranio Sacral Balancing made me feel better than I've felt in months (years?) in one 2 hour session. I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend her. " ~ Julie
