I have been a patient of Jan Voorhis’ for many years now. She is the gal I count on not only when my back and hips are out, but as a person to help keep me aware of my energy and structure. Each person is unique, but we share certain stresses and body features that lead to vulnerabilities in our bodies.
Jan has a way, with the combination of her skill and gifts, that can meet these unique challenges. My entire family has been helped and restored by her skill, and I have sent many of my neighbors and friends to her, knowing not only that they will feel quite better, but also that they will better understand their own bodies and abilities. And they will have a dependable person to help them in future.
Jan is a gifted and generous person and I’m grateful she is on my team and her skills a tool in my toolbox for health! -C.P. Grower/Herbalist/Plant Spirit Medicine Healer

This is my testimonial for the skill and work of Jan Voorhis as a massage therapist, and energy worker.
The first, and for me the most important thing I want to say is, Jan has transcended being a good massage therapist and has become a healer. In my mind this is a significant distinction. Being a healer is not an accident, rather it develops from a number of factors all of which Jan has embraced. The first factor is her motivation. Jan is thoroughly and genuinely motivated to help people feel better. Her awareness of her motivation includes a deep understanding of the mind/body connection. How people are feeling emotionally affects them physically and vice versa. This is what I would call a holistic approach. Another way of saying this is that Jan’s view is not simply addressing the symptoms, instead she is addressing the root basis of the symptoms, and their inevitable interconnectedness with the entire mind and body.
Jan is thoroughly trained and continues to train herself with other highly experienced practitioners.
She is highly intuitive, and each session she develops an inner sense of what is going on in my body so that she is able to address my entire situation.
Her experience and expertise also include giving her patients all kinds of useful recommendations for self care activities which are of course an essential part of the overall healing process.
In 2009 I feel off a roof and was severely injured. Although my body healed from an allopathic mechanistic medical point of view, in 2011 I was still in constant pain, and experienced a lot of weakness. When I first approached Jan and told her this story my question was, “Could my body be holding onto the trauma of the fall?” She replied in the affirmative. Then the second question was, of course, “Can you do anything about that?” Again the answer was in the affirmative. Jan treated me 6 or 7 times in succession over about 6 or 7 weeks. At the end of that treatment plan I felt wholly restored. I feel it is also pertinent to say that when Jan began treating me I was 65 years old, not exactly a spring chicken. —J.G.

I have been benefiting from the wondrous work of Jan’s hands for more than 15 years! She is perceptive, knowledgeable, tuned in, caring, and present. She is always ready, through both massage and energy work, to help facilitate what your body and soul needs and then bring her keen sense of healing and support to you. –T.W.

Jan Voorhis is a miracle worker! She cured my pinched nerve in two sessions — I was able to cancel my appointments with my orthopedist because I had no further need of his care! –F.R.
********************
In her work, Jan provides a space which is a crucible for deep work to occur. The quality of her presence allowed me to show up with all my “stuff” and be fully accepted. This made it easier to let go and relax into the deep healing which arises from such presence. –M. O.
