In this book, author Janet Nestor brings to the reader a
simple overall and balanced approach to the subjects of wellness and self
care. Having been through some trying and overwhelming times in the past
couple of years (and I'm sure I'm not the only one)I learned the hard way
about the true important of self care and wellness for ourselves. It's truly
hard to help a loved one when you don't take care of what your own mind body
and spirit need. In her book, Janet offers a guidebook that takes the
reader though different things that can help you incorporate self care
and wellness into your life.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Janet's career
has been varied, yet all aspects seem to complement each other. She first
studied sociology and psychology with the intent of becoming a LCSW working
with troubled, institutionalized teens. Instead, to complete her
undergraduate internship, she began to teach special needs elementary
students, and then continued doing so for the next several years. Janet
worked as a graduate assistant at James Madison University while she studied
Diagnostic Prescriptive education and then spent several years in public
school resource rooms and later independent schools for autistic like,
behaviorally challenged adolescents. Janet worked at Wake Forest University
in Athletic Academic Counseling as a support professional and learning
specialist, a job she truly enjoyed. While working at Wake Forest
University, she began part-time work at Prodigals Community, a residential
program for chronic addiction recovery. Janet directed their GED program for
residents completing their high school requirements and also directed their
family support programming. During these busy years she became a reiki master
teacher and etheric healer. Her heart was already leading her in another
direction and soon after leaving Prodigals Community she began graduate
school (again), this time in mental health counseling. The rest is
history. In 1999 she began her private counseling practice and continued with
clients until February 2012 when she moved to Missouri and
then to Annapolis,
Maryland. Today her career is divided between writing, workshops, and the
wonderful people who work with her via Skype and telephone. She has clients
from all over the United States, concentrating on personal empowerment and
positive living via various Energy Psychology techniques, Mindful Lifestyle
Training, Soul Detective work, energy healing and cognitive and insight
oriented discussions. As a therapist she specializes in Trauma, Mood
Disorders, Anxiety and Panic Disorder, Women’s Issues, Stress Reduction, and
Chronic Physical Illness. Janet also has spent two wonderful years writing
articles for Sibyl E-zine for women and currently contributes to Aspire
magazine; Flourish Over 50, a website for women; Self-Growth.com as an expert
in Positive Psychology; and beginning a relationship with IBoomer, a website
for baby boomers.
