"Janette is amazing - I found her through a colleague recommendation after seeing several top pelvic floor PTs in the area. I have made 4x the amount of progress with her than I did with anyone else. She has an excellent skill set, is calm, kind, intuitive, effective and just a really supportive human."

"After having tried several physical therapists, chiropractors, yoga, acupuncture etc., and not having found much sustained relief, I was referred to Janette. Her therapy helped me significantly, and after several sessions I found myself going back for help less frequently. She is very knowledgeable about the human body, and has an amazing holistic sense of finding the source of discomfort in the body."

"I have struggled with intestinal issues my whole life. I came to see Janette for a seemingly unrelated problem, and I am so pleased that she was able to help me. I am so thankful for the relief after many years of difficulty and pain. I hope this therapy will become mainstream, as it is painless and it works."

"I began seeing Janette Cariad a year or so after I had had surgery for prostate cancer because I had a bit of lingering stress incontinence. I had expected the treatment process to be pretty straight-forward and 'mechanical,' and in fact improvement was quite quick, but Janette’s treatment and methods were anything but perfunctory. She taught me about the complex and subtle relationship between muscles, positions, and alignments involved in the pelvic area and how strengthening and adjusting these elements promotes control, stability and strength. In addition, I find that after sticking with the exercises Janette has given me, my posture and lower body strength are both significantly improved. I’ve come away from working with Janette with a much more satisfying and far-reaching result than I’d anticipated or hoped for."
