The work that we are doing here is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. There is nothing else like it. It encapsulates all those things that you just know but you never really had the vocabulary for or the conceptualization for. Nina Bennett, Sacramento, CA
Do you find yourself waiting for the day when your life will change, when you’ll enjoy yourself more, have more fun, feel really alive and attractive and sexy in your body?
Perhaps you struggle with feeling shy or inhibited, with not having a voice, with always holding back. Or you struggle with your body because of its size or shape or age or because it feels heavy or sluggish? Or you’re tired of pleasing others but not yourself and always trying to do it just right.
One thing I know is that it can be downright painful to have a part of ourselves suppressed, repressed or stagnant, even if it’s a small part.
If you long to be free of that pain, to break-out, to just have fun, then you just may be ready for the STOP THE STRUGGLE—Join the Fun Workshop.
This is not your typical workshop.
Because I’m not your typical workshop leader. For years I struggled with an eating disorder, depression and just plain digging my heals in—afraid to be fully alive and visible to the world. I felt I wasn’t adequate, good enough or “normal.” But inside I knew there was a genius that was yearning to be expressed and I ached to find a way to allow myself to just be me.
When I discovered that all I had to do was get out of my own way suddenly there was no stopping me! To my surprise it was easy! The trick was getting through the muck of fears that tell us we won’t be enough if we allow our simple self to shine!
Many of you have tried the usual ways to get through those fears. Perhaps you’ve been to therapy, self-help workshops and read tons of books (Hey, I’m a psychotherapist by training so I know that road well!). The only problem with those approaches is that they keep you in your head, keep you problem focused—and that goes nowhere fast! They miss the key to your aliveness: your body!
If you want to FAST TRACK your way back to yourself. . .If you want to just STEP INTO IT. . . THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SUBSTITUTE for PLAY.
This work is leading edge, dynamic and powerful. It calls one to look deeply, and with great care, into the realm of possibility for oneself, to bring forth the essence and beauty that is inherently there and live out of that truth.~ Carollyne MacLean, Certified Aliveness Coach
Are you ready to be challenged? Are you ready to step out on your edge? Are you ready to let your insides explode with juicy, rich life expression? Are you ready to break through the inhibitions, shyness, reservation and fear that IF you let yourself really be yourself you won’t be liked?
The time is NOW for women’s aliveness to be felt, seen and heard! We are on the verge of huge planetary breakthroughs and our planet needs YOU. We all need each other to be the best we can be, to share ourselves and gifts with the world. We need to know that it is safe to play, to laugh and have FUN. And that child inside of us—where the magic lives—just needs a safe place to reunite with the adult—so she can take you back to your glee, your joy—take you back to who you really are.
This was me at 9 years old when I believed that there was gold at the end of the rainbow and fairys were real and I am the princess. Cozette Sama , Vancouver WA
WHEN spontaneity is released and reunites with your adult, there is a passion and fire that knows no bounds. You’ll be off and running! And the “adult you” that takes care of her responsibilities will do it with more lightness—a little pep in her stride—and with enthusiasm for the innate joy of being alive.
Still not convinced?
The STOP the STRUGGLE program isn’t just a playful, outrageously FUN yet practical and scientifically proven system for increasing your JOY Setpoint. Oh NO!
NOT knowing how to raise your happiness quotient can cost you your physical and mental health, relationships, even your sense of meaning and purpose. NOT increasing your JOY setpoint could be costing you THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in money, time and lost opportunities.
It did me! When I was unable to keep a positive attitude and maintain self-confidence it cost me in loss of friendship, marriage and career. My fears, inhibitions and “stuckness” kept me from stepping into the limelight, costing thousands in lost business and financial opportunity. Professionally I could have reached thousands of more women if I had been more self-confident. The problem was not in the value of the programs I was offering but in the lack of confidence and depression I felt which negated every forward action I took.
This is not your typical workshop.
If you’re ready to step-up TO become happier, more self-confident and expressive-
If you’re ready to~
- explode out—laugh a ton, move your body,
- release your inner child from adult role-playing,
- ready to be free to live your fully expressive creative playful Self
~then join me for a day of awakening, uninhibited unabashed self-expression, yummy nurture and FUN, FUN, FUN.
Not sure you’re ready for this? Feel a bit scared? Wondering if this is safe? Need more information? For details click here
No one has to do what they don’t want to do! In fact, one of our rules is a no-judgement rule, making this a perfect place to work through inhibitions, fear and shame.

Jane is a master facilitator who supported and guided us through exploration deep into our own inner mysteries; provided a safe, comfortable environment for processing and creative expression; and modeled the magic of transcending expectation and agenda. It’s been over a week and I still am soaring, feet firmly planted on the ground. ~ Linda H., Portland, OR

Jane’s work has been profoundly life altering—to find a place inside myself that is true and real; that I can trust. A place that I can come from and meet other people from; that’s authentic it feels safe to be in the world and deal with the world… I’m actually getting excited about my life which is a huge step for me. Carlin Whigham, Washington State
The STOP THE STRUGGLE Workshop teaches the key principles of joyful abundant living experientially! Utilizing movement, voice and laugher games in a safe environment we help you release and discharge stuck patterns held in your body, breaking down your learned physical inhibitors while reconnecting you with your innate childlike playfulness. We prime the pump of your creative juices which activates new possibility. Simultaneously we teach your mind new principles and concepts that help you understand and retain these experiences.
No one has to do what they don’t want to do! In fact, one of our rules is a no-judgement rule, making this a perfect place to work through inhibitions, fear and shame.
Not sure this workshop is for you, check this out.
* “But I’m scared. It doesn’t feel safe to allow myself to express so freely.” This is the perfect place for you because no woman has to do what she doesn’t want to do. A loving, nurturing and safe environment is created for exactly this reason. You will be given ample space and time to explore yourself in your own way. When you’re ready, you ask for support and we hold the space for your unfolding.
* “I want to try this, but I really don’t think I’ll be able to let loose.” No fears here either. You’ll do what you can do with no pressure or judgment. And these techniques are powerful for building new neural pathways that support automatic playful responses. In time and with practice, you’ll find that you are able to cut loose like the rest of us without effort.
* “I love the idea of this but does it really work?” You betcha. I use clinically tested exercises that, with practice, have been proven to decrease severe depression as well as elevate mood by increasing our feel-good hormones. It is the child’s nature to be joyful. These exercises get you back to the basics of being a child which is where your joyful and uninhibited expression lives.
* “The idea of this is intriguing, but what does this have to do with living my life. I have adult responsibilities that need to be tended to.” Of course! Great question. As adults we are inundated with responsibilities. But who says we have to be so serious doing them? Let’s unleash those feel-good hormones, and learn to enjoy the things we have to do? That frees up energy, excitement and enthusiasm for doing more of the things we want to do! Additionally, in this program, you learn strategies for living fully. These strategies will help you to make decisions that support your continued aliveness and let go of activities that drain and deaden you. Simultaneously you’ll learn how to use challenging circumstances to actually enhance your feelings of well-being.
* “I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. Will this work for me?” Absolutely! As I mentioned above, some of these exercises have been clinically proven to decrease depression and anxiety.
* “I struggle with an eating disorder and I’m ashamed of my body and of my behaviors? Will this help?” You’ve come to the perfect place. Because of my personal and professional experience and expertise, I can help you apply these strategies to your relationship with food and your body. You might want to sign-up for our Emotional Eating Track which will be launched in the Fall of 2010. If you want to start right now, check out the BodyWay Program for an in-depth excursion into the tools and strategies I used to heal my twenty-year eating disorder, and the tools I’ve used teaching and facilitating hundreds of women like yourself during my thirty-years of freedom.
* “Can my husband join this program, too.” No. This program is for women only. Later this year, I will be launching a special series for couples utilizing these same techniques so be sure to sign up for the eNews which will keep you abreast of upcoming programs. Additionally, I do mini Stop the Struggle Community Service Events for special groups. Men are welcome there. Check Upcoming Events for those listings. Often events are free and open to the public.
If you have any other questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. I will gladly address those concerns with you over the phone.
I attended one of Jane’s Stop the Struggle Community Service Events and it was great! Midway through I noticed that I was feeling intensely alive in a brand new way. This came as a delightful surprise and exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. Jane brings a unique flavor and energy that is creative, colorful, and playful. Stephen Parsons, Portland, Oregon
