ONE-ON-ONE TESTIMONIALS
“It took me 35 years to get my gut to a state of organized chaos. The water was muddy. Janel gave me the courage to commit to changing my overall health knowing that it would take time and strength. Over the course of a year Janel helped me to see the positive impact that I can have on my overall health by changing my habits.” M.B 2021
“I was validated, listened to, and cared for in a way that left me feeling empowered. After 6 months of working with Janel I know my body way better than before and have a full set of nutritional tools at my disposal to address my day to day health concerns, and those going into the future. Janel is my first recommendation for anyone looking to better their health and increase their knowledge of functional medicine on a basis that is understandable and easily applied. ♥️”. J.M. Sept 2020- Feb 2021
“With a huge Thank you to you, I am happy to report that I have had a week of normal poops for the first time in 18 months. I have been following the Gaps protocol you outlined and it is working. I can’t tell you what a relief this is. I feel like I actually have some tools now that can help me in the future rather than stabbing in the dark about what food is causing what, as I felt I was doing previously. But I already feel like I have more energy. So thank you again!! H.L. Sept 2023

“Working with Janel was definitely the highlight of my 2020 Covid quarantine! I finally had the time to work on my health issues and Janel was the perfect holistic nutritionist to help me dive deeper. She has a wealth of knowledge to share with you and goes above and beyond with her work. Her confidence and her laid back mountain mama personality is so comforting. I loved receiving recommendations not only for nutrition but also for meditation, breath work and mindfulness practices. I felt completed taken care of while working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get to the root of any health ailment and to feel supported through their journey.” – TC 2020
“Just a quick thank you to you for Mountain rebalance. I’ve been feeling so good and balanced on my health plan I reignited the last month. Smoothies, nut milk, chia seed pudding, vitamins and clean eating! Love to you and your 🐓’s and family” -LK 2019
“I’m lucky enough to have met Janel a few months after moving to Truckee. When we got here I was completely emotionally and physically drained due to stress before moving. I was really sick for months, but I didn’t know why. I felt like I had mononucleosis, even breathing while sleeping was exhausting. I started seeing her and she’s changed my life! I can’t express how grateful I am for her.” -KB 2019

“This is my 2nd group program with Janel and I’m astounded by the amount of information she provides us. It is so interesting to have the science to explain why we are doing the things that we are doing….it makes it much more motivating. Janel is passionate and supportive of you “being curious” and figuring out what works for YOU!” -K Price 2021 Womens Hormone Club
“Janel’s hormone club gave me a clear path to start building more understanding about my health and hormones since turning 40. It’s like an awesome girlfriends group where you get deep knowledge and background about what’s happening with hormones, but then also all of the really practical stuff you need to know in order to do something about keeping things balanced. Janel provides so many tips, suggestions, and ideas (in additional to all of the science and technical stuff) that I came away feeling really empowered to continue on this path of health and self discovery – to really craft balance and health that works for me. The power of the group is also huge in maintaining the food protocol for 3 weeks – and it doesn’t hurt to be cooking from really great recipes and sharing ideas with the other participants too!” -S Douglas 2021 Women’s Hormone Club
“This class was great!! I have been looking for a lot of this info and with Janel’s help I was able to get better control on my health.

I felt like I learned so much that is important to my health, not only about my hormones but about how to create balance in multiple areas of my life. Janel offered me a whole new perspective on my body and how to navigate the changes that happen during different stages of a woman’s life. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about these topics and so generous with sharing her knowledge and resources. She definitely goes above and beyond!! Thanks to Janel, I feel more educated and empowered in making better choices that can support my health and well being as I move forward into the second half of my life.

“This program was life-changing. Janel is so knowledgeable and was able to make complicated medical information relevant to my personal health and body. She is flexible with approaches and doesn’t deliver a one-size-fits-all model.

I have adopted these changes as a permanent part of my lifestyle and I feel incredible. Thank you, Janel!” –Winter 2020 Women’s Hormone Club participant

I’d definitely do it again!” – Spring Cleanser 2019

Birth and Ayurvedic Clients pre 2014
“Janel led me through a very difficult pregnancy. I attribute my easy labor to attending Janel’s classes. She truly made the ladies attending class feel special and loved. After the birth of my son, we continued to attend classes which not only helped me get out of the house, but toned my pelvic floor, helping me heal from childbirth and reducing the likelihood of having lasting issues related to birthing. Having four children of her own, she has a deep understanding of women’s health and wellness. I would recommend her soulful guidance to women seeking enlightenment and healing through naturopathic modalities.” -Taylor, 2014
“ I started working with Janel after my husband broke his femur. We had two young boys at the time and was taking care of everyone day and night, including two dogs and a cat. I was at the end of my rope and really needed some serious self-care to keep myself going and continue tending to everyone’s needs in a state genuine joy, not martyrdom. Janel has an intuitive knowledge. She has an amazing sense about what your body and soul need.” -Emily- January 2014
“I met Janel Ferrin years ago when she was a birth doula at Boulder Community Hospital and I was a Certified Nurse Midwife. I was able to witness Janel’s work in both a clinical and hospital setting. Janel would often accompany clients to their prenatal appointments at the clinic where I was working. Janel’s presence is always calming and reassuring to our joint clients. Janel is super professional with her clients providing evidence
based care and always providing unbiased information and care to our clients. During birth, Janel was a solid rock of presence enabling patients to fully drop into the experience of birth and be present for their individual experience. Janel was able to be fully present for each and every client no matter what twists and turns their birth would take. Janel has an excellent ability to separate herself from the client and therefore
provide solid unbiased care that is fully informed by the situation and her own knowledge” -Midwife Angela 2014
“I am writing to highly recommend Janel Ferrin as health care professional. Janel was my family’s doula for both of my children – one in 2008 and one in 2011. I am eternally grateful for her deep knowledge, experience, and reassuring guidance throughout my pregnancies, births and post-natal care. She and I talked about nutrition, helpful yoga postures, relaxation techniques, and what to expect when the baby came, both physically and mentally. She is a stable, reassuring, inspiring rock. I know I could always count on her if I needed to. I highly recommend her in any situation where people rely on health care and loving, intelligent guidance to make their lives better.” -Suzanne 2011
“You have a radiant, positive, energy that we love being around. As our doula, you were incredibly supportive and reassuring to us both. Your presence at Mia’s birth was exactly what we needed. We appreciate your advice and the personal and professional expertise that you contributed. The photos you took were the most amazing surprise gift! Thank you for everything.” Love, Debbie 2010
“Janel’s commitment never wavered and her support was rock solid. I wish I had stronger words to express how instrumental in our birth Janel was – but I don’t. All I can say is that Janel helped us to have the birth we always dreamed of – one where we felt comforted, protected, cherished and that produced a lovely little boy. -Elizabeth 2008
“Janel -We want to thank you for all your help and support before, during and after our son, Isaac’s, birth. Your presence, knowledge and encouragement were invaluable. You helped us to stay calm and explore all of the options with the doctors. You were right there reminding me of my breath, inner strength and power. And all the time supporting my husband, Kevin, during the labor and birth of our son. You allowed us to have the natural birth we so desired and we could not have done it with out you. -Kelly 2008
