Hi!  My name is Jane

I have helped thousands of women with food and body-image issues feel more hopeful, turn their lives around and become free of their struggles.  Having had a debilitating eating disorder for over twenty years and a major spiritual awakening on the subway in New York City in my early twenties, I followed a path of healing which has resulted now in over thirty years of successful freedom from food struggle.  As the first to speak openly about the connection between spirituality and disordered eating, I have been an innovator and leader in the field of women and food for over thirty years. 


As an artist, mother, and world traveler I am passionate about empowering women to become free to love their lives and express themselves freely.  BodyWay and the HeART of YOU Workshops and Groups provide a perfect format for me to share my life-long passion for creative expression, healing and learning in a way that is both alive and rich with a wealth of women’s wisdom and sharing.

On a Professional Note:


Educated at Hunter College and Regis University my academic background spans areas of transpersonal and humanistic psychology, expressive arts and mind-body therapies. As I grew professionally, I developed programs for women with eating disorders and went on to extract the essence of that work for other women dealing with similar issues. 

I have authored two books, Living Binge-Free and Beyond the Food Game, and founded the Aliveness Institute (offering workshops, professional trainings, and coaching programs)  and BodyWay (a year-long online program) as well as authored numerous audiotapes and workbooks. 

Today, I offer ongoing programs, as well as personal intensives, private sessions (in person or over the phone) and retreats.
