Certified InterPlay Leader
As a massage therapist for over 30 years, Janice became aware of the stories, emotions, unexpressed truths, and trauma that people can store in their bodies. When she was introduced to Interplay, she found it to be a unique, fun and empowering way for people to unravel and access these stories the body's wisdom. We are bodies in motion, bodies in relationship, and bodies in community. We have a spatial and kinesthetic intelligence that informs our inner knowing. Interplay is a creative, un-intrusive, and affirming way to process and explore what is true for oneself and for what is possible. Janice has taught Nonviolent Communication in the community for over 20 years, 10 of which she also taught in Washington State prisons, through an organization she helped found, the Freedom Project. She facilitates restorative circles in organizations through A Center for Restorative Solutions. Janice has a passion for racial equity and transformation and served as part of the Interplay Racial Equity Team for two years and the Conflict Resolution team for one year. For the last two years Janice has been working with substance use disorders and uses Interplay practices in all of her workshops.
