About Janet Hovde

Janet Hovde uses her gifts of training and experience within the Western medical framework, ability to balance energy, and ability to access information to help people heal in body, mind and spirit. Janet is a licensed Occupational Therapist and a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner.  She is an advanced practitioner of Chinese Energetic Medicine, and has training in psychic development. 

Janet earned her Master of Arts degree in Human Development at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in June 2008. Her in-depth studies enabled her to create curriculum in the care of the human energy system (including the energy centers, or chakras, and the energy field, or aura), care of the heart chakra (affected by emotional imbalances related to recent and old losses) and intuition development.

Janet is a teacher. See UPCOMING CLASSES for new class offerings.
