HELLO, I'M Dr. Janine Kreft,

Clinical Psychologist turned Mindset Specialist & Entrepreneur.

I've walked this path...

After facing multiple health challenges throughout my life & spending 17 years in the highly demanding (& often unhealthy) world of ballet, I found myself grappling w an eating disorder, panic attacks, & depression. At 25, I made the pivotal decision to leave dance behind & embark on a healing journey. Through therapy, I began to uncover the importance of mental health, self-compassion, & the power of setting boundaries - lessons that would shape my path forever.

Driven by a passion for mental wellness, I pursued a graduate degree in psychology, eager to help others find the clarity & healing I had begun to experience. Yet, even w traditional training, I found myself wondering: “Is this really it?”

My curiosity led me beyond conventional psychology into the world of holistic healing & energy work. From bodywork to mindfulness practices, I explored modalities that transformed not just my mind, but my entire being. Then came a profound experience with Access Bars, an energetic modality that sparked one of the most significant conscious awakenings of my life. It was in that moment I realized healing & transformation extend far beyond what we’re taught in traditional systems.

This realization revolutionized how I approach mental wellness & personal growth. Today, I combine science-backed tools w energetic alignment to guide highly sensitive high achievers toward the clarity, peace, & purpose they’ve been seeking. My life is a reflection of what’s possible when we align w our truth - and it’s my mission to help you do the same.

Is now the time to align w your truth & embody the most authentic version of YOU?

Your power lies in your awareness. Are you ready to unlock the version of you that’s been waiting to emerge?

Eight things 

I 

know

 about transformation...

  • Change begins w belief. When you embrace the possibility of transformation, you stop resisting & allow growth to unfold naturally.

  • You already have the awareness within you. As a soul-led entrepreneur or high achiever, the shifts you seek are already possible. My role is to illuminate blind spots, guide you through resistance, & empower you to align w your most authentic self.

  • This is a forward-focused journey. Unlike traditional therapy, my approach is action-oriented & designed to build upon the healing you’ve already done. Together, we focus on creating greater consciousness & taking bold, aligned action.

  • Growth isn’t always comfortable. Awareness often uncovers subconscious patterns &reflexes that hold you back. But leaning into discomfort leads to the insights & breakthroughs that spark true transformation.

  • Transformation requires your commitment. Growth doesn’t happen in a single session - it’s the result of consistent, conscious choices. The work you do between sessions is where the magic truly happens.

  • Your past doesn’t define you. While honoring what you’ve been through is essential, so is reclaiming your power to create something new. Resilience is part of the human experience, & you are capable of profound transformation.

  • There is no failure, only feedback. Every step forward, no matter how small, builds momentum toward healing & alignment. Once you awaken to greater consciousness, there’s no going back.

  • I walk this path with you. As someone who has done - and continues to do - the work; I’m here to guide & support you. I believe I can only take you as far as I’ve taken myself, and I’m here to help you go further than you ever thought possible.

Are you ready to honor your journey, embrace your resilience, & step into the transformation you’ve been seeking?
