testimonials

welcome to oasis for the soul "...I have found in working with Janet an inner peace and love that I did not seem to have before. The one thing that is especially true is that I felt comfort and trust with her and felt she is working from a "good place" on this planet, and her intentions are true. I found her to have “no judgments” about people and is very accepting of all and respectful of where people are in their journey. Thank you and I know you will be helpful to many others."
-Love, C.E.

"My progressive work with Janet has given me a life and health better than when I was younger. I no longer accept deterioration and pain and disease as a necessary part of aging. I have learned how to not only heal and reverse past problems but also prevent any new problems from becoming permanent."
-JB

"Janet StraightArrow is a guided woman. Her work as a Shaman is astounding, I have seen her time and again heal people with Soul Retrieval. The change is remarkable... she helps heal lost and wounded souls. She is also a remarkable healer and teacher. I have taken Reiki with other Masters, but Janet does a very thorough job of explaining what you are doing. She gives you the guidance you need along with the attunement. I have gained much healing and enlightenment from working with Janet, she is truly a master Lightworker."
-K.P.

"I have found Janet to be a wonderful teacher, she is inspiring, talented and sincere. I have benefited greatly from her teaching and healing. She has made me realize the power of my own abilities to heal."
-E.S.

"a few words from my heart: As the adage goes "when the student is ready the teacher appears" and that is what happened to me. After originally studying with someone else, I was searching for the right Reiki Master to continue my training. There were many before I met you. You inspired me to keep following my heart and be the healer that I was meant to be. You brought me to new heights of awareness. I loved every moment of our time spent together and am looking forward to becoming a teacher under you. Thanks and I love you."
-K.F.

"I actively searched for one year for a teacher/healer that was spiritual and knowledgeable. I have found this in Janet. She is a very spiritual caring woman. Her abilities and areas of expertise are many and varied. The blending of several different healing techniques is, I believe, very unique and powerful. But more importantly, she has made a profound difference in my life. I have been a spiritual seeker for many years, and through my work with Janet, I find myself catapulted into new levels and depths of growth. Through her healing sessions, soul retrievals, Reiki classes and Shamanic healing I am not the same person I was just several months ago. My physical health is 100 times better than it was, but more importantly my inner self , the me that I carry with me all of the time and live with daily, has gone through profound changes for the better. I am more joyful, loving, peaceful and I pray, more of a healer myself. She has enabled me to make some internal changes that have shifted my entire view on life. I am love with life again. She has allowed one of the most profound spiritual experiences of my life to occur through love and life and dedication to her work as a healer. I am gifted proud and very honored to know and study with her. Her lineage will be one of the important spiritual growth paths of the new millennium."
-D.K.

"When I had my first Soul Retrieval with Janet I was not sure what to expect. However after that session, I noticed a more whole feeling in my being. It was that feeling that inspired me to pursue my dream of Acupuncture school. Only after I felt complete did all the little things in my life come together and enable me to go forward. After my soul work with Janet, I decided to take Reiki 1 with her. I have had such transformations and miracles occur in my life because of the experiences that I have had with Janet. After Reiki I noticed an increase in my Psychic perceptions; I could now feel and see both inside and outside of the body of my client. My tarot readings are also more insightful. The healings that have taken place inside me have been absolutely divine. I feel as if my body and spirit have been united. Thank You Janet!"
-C

"Janet is a straight arrow going directly to the point of things with solutions that work!"
-L.F.

"Janet has helped me keep my marriage, my career and my health in tip top shape. She uses balance, wisdom and keen intuition as well as teaching me great tools to keep me moving forward."
-S.G.

"Janet’s training and experiences in many worlds offer me guidance, healing and support in all areas of my life."
-S.T.

"One session helped me more than twenty years of therapy."
-L.F.

"After years of dancing I was still terrified to dance on stage and stiffened up instead of flowing as I could off stage. In one session I released a memory and fear of dancing on stage that was preventing me from living my dream. One year later I am still dancing professionally with ease".
-C.B.

"In one session I healed a childhood trauma that had been plaguing me my entire life. It no longer upset me or kept replaying in my head after the healing. After four more healing sessions and three classes I went off anti-depressant medication. I know I have to continue to practice the tools Janet taught me to continue my healing. Five months later I am still feeling great.
-A.C.

"After twenty years of chronic back pain in my entire back that the doctors told me I had to live with from a car accident, I called Janet to work on another issue. She suggested we focus on releasing the pain in my body, I was so used to the pain I had not imagined I would even be free of it. In one session she helped me remove the pain from my body and when she asked me about it a few weeks later I had even forgotten I had ever had it! I am pain free two years later."
-A.R.

"I came to Janet with pain in my shoulder. As we worked together she was guided to my chest and asked me about my breathing. I had problems breathing for five years and had accepted it. Janet pursued the area until we uncovered what the blocked energy was and where it came from. We healed the memory and the cause and removed the energy and my full capacity of breathing has returned. Nine months later my breathing is still great."
-BR

"My right foot was in constant pain and numbness for years, I was so used to it I did not think about it. Janet noticed this when we were working on something else and immediately began to heal it. In five minutes, Janet was able to release the muscles and nerves in some way that opened my foot. Five months later I still have full functioning of my foot and remain pain free. What is amazing is that this was all done on the phone!"
-J.S.

"I brought my baby to Janet when she was three months old. My daughter would always cry with everyone except me, and I did not know what to do. Janet was able to find the memory that was keeping my daughter from feeling safe with others and healed it. She began to smile and let other people pick her up the next day. Today at eight years old she is the most social person you would know."
-A.M.

"I had a blood clot in my leg from my hip to my knee due to an after effect of a surgical procedure. The doctors were concerned that it would travel to my heart. I was on a blood thinner that they said would take a year to dissolve the clot. I worked with Janet for one hour and the next day when the doctors tested my entire system they found it to be totally gone!"
-R.V.

"I had a fear of making money that was preventing me from doing well in my own business that I loved. As a healer I had tried many ways to free myself from this fear. In one session Janet located the source of the fear and removed it. I am now happily working and receiving money".
-ES

"I broke my toe, it was black and blue and in great pain. Immediately Janet began to work on me from a distance. Within a day the bone began to itch on the inside and the swelling and discoloration began to lessen. Within a week it was back to normal size and color and did not hurt."
-J.S.

"My husband and I were going through a difficult time. I was angry for years and hurt and wanted a divorce even though he had begun to listen and change some after Janet helped me heal and change myself and ask for what I needed. My husband did not want a divorce and began to work with Janet and this helped him heal himself and understand both of us. Janet helped us heal our childhood wounds and the patterns and behaviors we carried into the marriage and taught us skills to continue the healing. She also taught us about relationships in ways that were helpful and held no blame. A year later our family is securely intact and we are both happier and so are our children."
-GR

"After working with Janet as a student and now apprentice I have been amazed at how simply and easily Janet works with people. She teaches us how healing is normal and that we can open up to seeing, feeling and knowing all we need to to help ourselves and others. Janet holds the energy of love and unconditional acceptance and opens up to whatever comes to her as she progresses through a healing session. She laughs when we ask her what she is doing. In teaching us many tools she is most focused on us opening ourselves to our own ability to align with our highest purpose and gifts and then to our clients highest good for the session and life. In doing this we become the healing and stop doing healing. Each one of us is so different and Janet helps us to be the best – us. In apprenticing Janet I am learning many tools and teachings and having many experiences, yet she is really apprenticing me to be myself. My purpose and way of healing and teaching is different from Janet’s yet she is helping me discover and develop my best self to offer to the world and myself too!"
-T.S.
