A few words from Janise Anthony:

" I have had my share of bumps and bruises, sprains, strains and broken bones through my personal competitive athletic adventures. Because of having endured six years of rehabilitation for a broken back as a result of a near fatal bicycle accident from being hit by a drunk driver, I have a greater understanding of the body and the potential of it's recovery abilities and phases, as well as the importance of mental fitness and nutritional support for optimal healing. Due to this unfortunate event during my cycling training, my life dream to be a top competitive ironman tri-athlete was abruptly taken away from me and so my dream now is to assist other athletes in making their dreams come true by applying proper therapy and training along with inspirational motivation.

" My experience with training for and engaging in competitive sports and the injuries that accompany it, has given me deep insight and awareness in my approach to the healing process, especially with athletes; an enlightenment that cannot be learned in books or schools."

"Many therapists will call themselves healers. This concept I find arrogant and egotistical. It is as if to say I am the fullness of God and can do all things when it is really the patient that chooses to have a healing. I don't see myself as a healer, but as a facilitator of healing. We must all remember we are responsible for our own health and our own healings. Doctors, therapists, nutritionists, chiropractors, yoga teachers, personal trainers and massage therapists are only our guides and teachers. It is only with proper education about our bodies and minds from these guides, can we create and sustain vibrant health. Without our health we cannot enjoy life to the fullest. With vibrant health we can fully enjoy the company of our loved ones, have the energy to do all the fun things life has to offer and to also continue to grow and learn and be all that we can be in every aspect of our life."

" My purpose is to persuade my clients to take on the responsibility of their own health with the proper professional guidance while stressing the importance of preventive maintenance to make a difference in their quality of life, while bringing them closer to their health goals and fulfilling their life dreams as I re-educate them through proper exercise, self massage, proper nutrition, mental fitness, yoga and meditation."

" It is my pleasure to be of service to you. I look forward to becoming a part of your healthcare team. A life without health is a life without wealth."
