Words from Clients past and present:
I trust my body and inner knowing 100%
I have become more confident in my body, I have learned how to notice and feel sensations happening within my body to help determine how I really feel. I've been able to work through many blocks around relationships, receiving, and my desires.
I created a reality of pretty much everything on my desire list from the beginning of our coaching, things that I only dreamed were possible. I now have a deeper understanding of my purpose in life, an amazing relationship, I am having mind-blowing orgasms like NEVER before, I feel confident in how I carry myself and with the decisions I make.
I am grateful for the deepened relationship within myself and being able to trust my body and inner knowing 100%. - Morgan G
I feel more in touch with the courageous part of me…
I feel more in touch with the courageous part of me because Janira helped me access that. I take a step back now and think about what's best for me in this situation and how I can communicate that. I also feel like I can finally say no and stand in my truth more, that is huge for me!
In coaching with Janira I gained many tools- one is a tool to clean out the fear and the root causes of my limitations. I've also gained the tool of accessing this strong, desire filled part of me we call wonder woman. The tool of feeling my way more in every situation helps me know how to handle it.
Janira is such an amazing coach. She asks me all the right questions to dig down deep into what it is that I'm really feeling and sometimes it surprises me. I love when she reflects back to me what I'm saying because to hear it is so helpful in making me really see it! I love when she shares her personal experiences with me to help me understand my own, they are always incredibly helpful. I truly enjoy our sessions, I feel like we always go deep and I have breakthroughs on every call! - Kim W.
I'm now able to see my worth…
The biggest change I experienced in working with Janira is that I got a new job! But the changes that led up to that were where the real work was done - I was able to honestly look at my life and assess what was missing, what I wanted and what I truly deserve. I'm now able to see my worth and value and can recognize that in my former job, I was being undervalued and unappreciated. I am more clear about what it is I want out of my career and now understand that I am valuable enough to go after those goals.
One of the biggest things I've gained from the process is the ability to tell myself how PROUD I am of myself. After something good happens, I very rarely take the time to sit and reflect on what happened, why it happened and how it made me feel. I never realized how important this process was, and how I was really short changing myself by not congratulating myself for accomplishing goals.
The coaching work we have done together came at the exact right time in my life - I was stuck and complacent and felt like I didn't know where to go next. Janira helped guide me in the right direction by showing me how to be honest about what I desire and what I deserve. Once I started to be truly honest with myself about what I wanted (something I don't know that I had ever done before), I was able to open myself up to envision what that might actually look like and what I needed to do to get there.
We also worked a lot on what it is I believe I deserve, and realizing that there is no one telling me I can't have what I want but me. Our work helped me make a lot of scary decisions, and rip off many a bandaid that needed ripping off. It’s really nice to see all my hard work paying off. - Leigh D.
I've learned to treat myself the same way I treat others - with compassion and patience…
The one thing I can say about Janira is that she's patient, she's informative, and understanding.
Through out work I’ve come to understand myself better, especially how I relate to myself and others. She gave me tools on how to recognize the true meaning behind something not just what was on the surface. I've learned to treat myself the same way I treat others - with compassion and patience.
There were a lot of uncomfortable moments for me but if you don't change things and get uncomfortable then growth is not always guaranteed.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with Janira and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. - Lenin G.
The biggest change I couldn't even believe was allowing myself to receive love…
Before I met Janira I was not only depressed, I was also ashamed of my depression. I was ashamed for so many reasons. One is because I always saw myself as a person that knew better than to be negative about any sort of circumstance. I was a positive minded master manifestor in my early twenties. But my thirties and beyond I went down a path of doing the opposite, and because of that I felt like I didn't deserve to go for the life I wanted to create for me.
When I connected with Janira I saw someone that could bring me back to my truth and help bring me back to a place where I could trust my body and what it wanted. I saw a chance to trust my body enough to receive, and I did in fact receive.
I was able to wake up desires that were laying dormant in my heart. The biggest change I couldn't even believe was allowing myself to receive love - the love that my husband has for me. I know that in itself sounds negative. But I really had very little hope for myself that I would ever be able to open my heart to this after living a life with so much abandonment.
I was able to rid my body of the narcissistic abuse I was carrying around in my body, mind and spirit. Prior to I was completely unavailable to the marriage and partnership I wanted to have with my husband. Before working with Janira I was refusing the intimacy and fun that I wanted to have him, with friends AND even family. The worst part is that I was used to this misery. So when it was pulled from my body, (I literally felt this in a session with Janira) it was so intense. The power and depth that Janira holds I believe is what allowed me to really drop in and surrender to releasing it. So that I could surrender to what my body, mind and spirit really wanted.
Fast forward I just had my last session with Janira a week ago. And I'm writing this testimonial from Naples, FL because I'm moving to be closer to the beach. This is one of the dreams that popped out of my heart to express itself in my daily reality since working with Janira. My husband is showing up for me in the most powerful way to make it happen. And my body can handle that now without going into sabotage loops. I'm feeling safe and secure being able to create my life where I can have my cake and eat it too. Because what's the point in having cake you can't eat?!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Janira. I am most greatful that you held such amazing space for me to hold my power to see what pleases me and then to be able to go for it! - Marisel B.
She helped me decide what I really want....
She helped me dramatically shift my life, both internally and externally. I'm simply amazed to look back and see where I was when I started working with her. The biggest shift was changing how I looked at food, which changed my relationship with food. This in turn stopped my daily stomach issues, and helped me live more intentionally. Sounds simple, but man, I had tried so many things for years! She helped me get out of my head, decide what I really want, and provided unending encouragement and support throughout the whole process. She has a serious knack for knowing what needs focusing on, and navigates that so gracefully. Janira gave me many tools to better myself, physically and emotionally. She is such an amazing person to have cheering you on. Janira, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. - Suzie B.
I smile more. I feel more confident…
Since working with Janira I feel more confident because I have become better at expressing what I want. I'm more assertive. I had always been able to express myself assertively in print, but not verbally. As a result, I am getting more attention from women. Two female co-workers are showing a particular interest in me. I also notice more women looking at me--on Metro-North, on the street, at Stop & Shop, at Whole Foods. It's a very nice feeling because it feeds the notion to my ego that I am desirable.
I have also gained an awareness of how I sounded to women (wishy-washy) and how I want to sound--confident, assertive, trustworthy. Aside from self-awareness, I have become a better listener. I have become attentive. I have learned to be vulnerable and not put up a facade of masculinity (the strong, silent stereotype). That's a big step forward for me.
I smile more. I feel more confident. Through my coaching sessions with Janira, I have stopped sabotaging myself through a fear of rejection. The way I feel now, if you don't want to be with me, well, it's your loss.
I recommend Janira to anyone who wants to become a better self. Janira has helped me understand the intrinsic value of listening, being more attentive, being more assertive and less defensive, and being vulnerable. A fear of rejection was stifling my personal growth. I felt so much pain from a relationship that failed after six years and one engagement that I actually feared I would die alone. Thanks to Janira, I got unstuck. I no longer fear dying alone. I feel much better about myself and better about life, even though I have yet to find the one. I'm hopeful. I'm enjoying life's journey. I have learned that my desires are much stronger than my fears. - Cecil
Janira showed me the way to love myself…..
I didn't really know what working with a coach entailed let alone realize I was in a place in my life where working with one would be so beneficial.
Right before we started I had just quit a job that consumed my life and soul for 3 years. I felt like damaged goods, but I knew I had to get out of the situation before it worsened. I knew I had to change my life around, but I had no idea where to start or what path to take. I was happily leaving the music industry, however I had no idea where I was going to go from there. Insert Janira Martinez - coach extraordinaire.
When I started working with Janira I had zero confidence, my motivation was drained and I was overwhelmed about the endless possibilities I could choose from for my life goals. The only thing I prided myself on was my ability to take care of others and make sure those around me were happy. I had no intention of doing those things for myself.
In six months, Janira was able to get me to finally focus on taking care of myself nutritionally, mentally and emotionally. She made me aware of things about myself I didn't know was inside of me in 29 years of existence. Janira constantly reminded me that I was "worth it." This made me willing to give myself the care I deserved. Once I started treating myself with pride, everything in my life fell into place.
Now it is time to thank you, Janira. Thank you for coming into my life at the right time. Thank you for your patience, guidance and love. You provided me with a lifetime of tools and practices that will allow me to live a happy life. You also showed me the way to love myself – something I’ve not experienced in the previous 28 years. The past months have been critical and the most powerful days I’ve lived so far. I hope you continue to coach for a long time, because the world will be a better place after you enter many lives. Love is what makes the world go ‘round and that’s exactly what you’re delivering.
Janira made me realize that happiness starts from within! - Alicia P.
Janira helped me to realize and acknowledge my potential…
Janira, you have been a light in my life and helped me ignite the light within me during those dark times….you have helped me to realize and acknowledge my potential and let me know that we all deserve the best. If we want, if we plan, and if we do take an action, there is nothing that can not happen, for sure we need to be patient and trust the process but we need to acknowledge our potential and believe in ourselves. THANK YOU dear wholehearted Janira for letting me realize these and experience the results when I do plan and take action. - Didem C.
Janira provided a safe place for me to truly heal…
My inner voice was drowning. My need to control everything and everyone around me left me drained. I used to feel out of control when it came to triggers, and I wasn't honoring my boundaries. It was miserable.
Janira helped me drown out the noise and focus on what I could control in myself. Janira provided a safe place, for me to truly heal, grow, and find community with other women.
I'm so thankful. - Sara P.
Working with Janira has allowed me to begin to embrace myself…
Working with Janira has really has been a holistic transformation. It hasn't been an easy journey to discipline my mind and body towards healing myself, but Janira helped create a safe space for me to feel vulnerable, empowered, determined and accepted- in short, working with Janira has allowed me to begin to embrace myself, getting to the roots of what my mind and body truly need, discarding the self-made false narratives that have led me to struggle with my health and self-image for what seems like my whole life. My journey is far from over but Janira's guidance has truly shifted the way I see myself now and how I want to see myself in the future. My mind and body are more clear than ever! <3 - Mariko A.
