Testimonials
“My 15 yr old daughter suffered terribly with her period. She couldn’t walk, had unbearable pain and vomiting and she missed days of school – not to mention the mood swings. She has now had three periods since her first session with Janine and the results are amazing – all her symptoms have disappeared. As she puts it ‘this is magic’.”
-Annette
I really had not anticipated such a result, to say I was delighted to be pain free is an understatement. It is very gentle, I felt completely safe at all times.
-Alicia
Hi, I'm Janine
I’m an Advanced Practitioner & Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy. I teach people how to break free from pain by harnessing their body’s powerful self-healing intelligence.
In 20+ years of clinical practice I’ve seen how quickly tension, pain and stress can be relieved and even eliminated when you allow your body to correct itself. The gentle positional rest techniques of Ortho-Bionomy do exactly that – they create a deep sense of safety that activates your body’s natural ability to restore balance and find lasting relief.

- How to clear stress from your body (and mind) Is it 'do nothing' week for you? For many of us, the week between Xmas & New Year is a kind of liminal time where 'nothing' happens and it's more acceptable to rest and reset.

If that's you, try the suggestions below for releasing your built-up stress. They come from my favourite book of 2022 which I highly...Read more
- Problem periods? This is for you - or your sister/daughter/friend...Are your periods hard to bear, with terrible moods before your period, strong period pain and other symptoms? If not, does someone you know suffer like this? I used to suffer severe symptoms from my teens to my 30s, being 'out of action' for many days each month. Conventional medicine only offered me painkillers and the contraceptive pill - which either didn't help much or caused unwanted side-effects, for me and many other women. You probably think - like I did - that if you have difficult...Read more
