Janette was born in New York where she ignited her passion for dance, and grew up in Sarasota appreciating the arts it offered. She graduated from Riverview High School, then attended State College of Florida where she received an Associates of Arts in Theatre. Still uncertain of her future, Janette pursued a career in Fashion at IADT while working at Saks 5th Avenue and after 15 years with Victoria’s Secret and Express. Thankfully, after years of stressful jobs, taking care of two small children, while going through a difficult divorce she found yoga. She decided to attend Heartwood Yoga Institute for the RYT 200 hour certification which turned into as many hours, certifications, and workshops she could get. This forever yoga student learned that there was so much more to yoga than the physical practice, that we are all growing and searching for enlightenment and that yoga opened the door to physical, mental, and spiritual unity. She hopes to instill the value of yoga to her children Avery and Arden and has the love and support of her life partner Ryan through her journey.
