My Story

IMG_5154.jpg

I'm Janet (AKA Janny), a registered nurse, holistic health practitioner and the heart behind Inner Sana, based on the beautiful Bass Coast, in Victoria.

​

My path into mind-body and energy medicine began through my own experience navigating cancer, chronic illness and nervous system collapse. I came to realise there was more to the story than simply managing symptoms, and that my  body  was signalling deeper layers of stress and strain that needed care. 

 

This led me to exploring different approaches to healing, including Brain & Nervous System Retraining, Somatic Coaching, and Kinesiology. I began to deepen my understanding of the nervous system, the mind-body connection and the underlying patterns that can keep the body stuck in cycles of stress and survival. 

 

It became a life-changing journey that took me from being significantly limited by my illnesses to healing, and from surviving to rebuilding a life that feels full, vibrant and aligned. Now I'm passionate about supporting other women on their own path to wellness.

​

With two decades of experience in the health and wellness field, my work is grounded in both clinical knowledge and lived experience, offering a compassionate, integrative approach that supports your whole-being and self-healing.

My Mission

My mission is to help other women tap into their body's innate wisdom and ability to heal.

To rebuild safety, self-trust, and connection to their divine nature beneath the layers of stress, conditioning, and survival states that have shaped their world.

I’m dedicated to supporting women’s wellbeing and personal growth in a way that feels compassionate and deeply human.
Together, we create conditions for self-healing that respects your individual story and honours the wisdom of the body.
