About Janet

“Janet StraightArrow Is Healing, Wisdom, and Grace.”

Janet StraightArrow is a Shaman, Healer, and Sage, born into a Suburban New Jersey woman’s body. Never quite like anyone else, and yet she tried to live a typical life. Her life has been a trial a minute, and you will always find her smiling as if she knows a precious secret, which she does.

Inner wisdom, discernment, and knowledge have led her through the drama and traumas of her very full life. Dedicated to Be The Medicine for herself and to teach others has been a calling since a child.

About Janet

Janet did not believe the hypnotism of the world, church, government, community, and even family. Instead, she trusted her inner knowing and continued to seek the most profound truth and love we can be.

At fifteen, her family doctor gave her a dire diagnosis, and it woke her up to fully claim her life, health, and spirituality to live what Jesus taught.

Her studies took her to experience traditions from around the world to discover all of the missing pieces and how we are all one. This comprehensive training focused on the oneness of all, created a neutral path dismissing fears and limiting beliefs to find unity, wisdom, and truth at the core.

Her work Be The Medicine has been fully experienced by her and thousands of others who have worked with her and read her writings and practiced her simple, clear, and profound tools and teachings.

Her love for life and dedication to fully discovering and sharing that we can all live our highest purpose and potential, no matter our challenges. StraightArrow recognized her soul lineage as a Shaman at the age of forty while she was a top Realtor. Her discoveries, continuous studies, and personal healing moved her along the path, unsure of where it was all going.

From this point on, her journey accelerated as she had ongoing profound awakenings, transformation, initiations, and more as she studied with masters and shamans, gurus, lamas, spiritual and healing teachers, doctors, and healers. She remembered more and more of who she has always been and what she was here to live and teach and heal in these transformative times.

Janet is a cheerleader for all of us, sharing love and health and wonder and the magic of all. Be The Medicine is a path of self-mastery, and Janet makes it fun. She sees our life’s journey as an adventure instead of work and has translated Universal Laws in ways we can break free from pain and suffering and live the truth that sets us free.

She has been guided to be a bridge and support for people waking up from all walks of life and ages to discover and live their true self and heal body, mind, emotions, spirit, and soul.

Janet began teaching wholistic nutrition in 1981 and continued with teaching meditation, Astrology, Reiki, Shamanism, and so much more with groups and sessions since 1994.

Janet has several books that will come out soon. She has been writing for twenty-five years and recording her many years of teaching groups in the northeast and middle Atlantic states. She is currently exploring sharing her work online and on zoom.

Now is the time to bring out this practical and profound work to a broader audience. See inspiring blogs, programs, retreats, and private session work and much more on the website at www.bethemedicine.com Call (973) 647-2500 Email [email protected]

Working with Janet

When you work with Janet in sessions or classes, you find her loving presence allows you to be yourself. You may think you know what you will work on and are often surprised that it goes much deeper than you imagined. You may expect her to “do” something and find that as you sit with her, no matter what occurs, you feel lighter, happier, pain-free, and more open. When you leave, your life is forever changed in a positive way.

Janet carries a high level of loving energy that supports your healing of body, mind, spirit, and emotions, and awakens you to your wholeness and soul. Janet’s decades of ongoing study and practice offers an amazing depth and direct answers and results.

A MODERN-DAY SHAMAN

Janet is not what you might expect, and that is a good thing. Expectations lead you to limitation. StraightArrow is a soul name given to her. Truth is her energy, her compass, her purpose, and so is happiness.

Sacred is joyful and real. Her lineages are from around the world and her focus is universal. Janet’s work is unique and powerful and focused on waking people up to the true nature of the divine and the world we enjoy this sacred play in.

Janet has big energy of love and light. No pretense just being is what she is about. Sessions and Classes illuminate and heal in ways that unfold naturally and gently.

Much of her Shamanic work is accomplished organically. Janet loves working on the phone, and any way we can connect, heal, learn, and be.

A Shaman is known as one who heals themselves and this is one of the most powerful teachings of Be The Medicine. We can all do this and so much more.

Janet discovered her Shamanic Calling in nineteen-ninety-two while working as a top Realtor who had been studying healing and spirituality for twenty-five years. Her gifts and abilities opened very quickly after that soul awakening.

She followed her inner guidance and pursued extensive research and training with Shamans and Masters in many worldwide spiritual healing traditions and began to heal and teach immediately. Each tradition had so much to offer, and together they answered her questions about healing and living mastery today.

Continual practice and refinement created a healing-teaching work, Be The Medicine, unique, powerful, and straightforward. Her big energy of love, joy, and light offer you compassion, profound healing, with down to earth wisdom. Sessions and Classes illuminate and heal you in ways that surprise you as they unfold naturally.

A Shaman is known as one who heals themselves. This is one of the most powerful teachings we accomplish in Be The Medicine. We can all heal ourselves and so much more. Join the journey.

Janet loves working on the phone, Zoom, and in-person. Call Janet StraightArrow today at (973) 647-2500 and explore possibilities for your growth and healing.
