At the age of 5 Janet approached her mother to tell her what it is like in Heaven.  Her mother listened as Janet told her about the relatives she spoke to as well as the way that Heaven worked.  Her mother stopped her halfway through her sharing.  Years later her mother told her that she wished she had been able to stay present to hear all about it, however, it scared her, and she stopped her daughter from sharing her stories.

At the age of 15 Janet had a life-changing, inter-dimensional experience that propelled her to seek out classes in spiritual healing.  She was outside, lying on a chaise lounge and reading a book about Edgar Cayce’s predictions for the new millennium.  All of a sudden she heard a voice in her head that said, “This is what you are here for.”  At the same time as she heard the voice, she was “lifted” up to a standing position.  Now standing completely upright she felt and saw a soft light around her and felt a profound peace inside, knowing why she was here on Earth.  At the age of 17 she joined the National Federation of Spiritual Healers, in Canada, and was told that she had a gift for channeling healing energy.

Although Janet was sure of her gifts and purpose she was reluctant to base her career on energy healing.  She entered university to study marine biology and graduated with honors.  She began her biology career studying the effects of acid rain on fish in the lab of the Ministry of the Environment.   However, her true purpose kept calling to her.  One night, while studying for her exams at the University of Guelph library she pressed the button on the elevator to go to the biology floor.  When the elevator stopped she got off and began to look for books on fish behaviour.  But all she could find were books on human behavior, psychology, and religion.  She had gotten off on the wrong floor.  Or was it the right floor?

And then she noticed a title on one of the books that drew her attention - You Cannot Die, by Ian Currie, published in 1979.  She had seen a university newspaper article about him as he was a professor at Guelph.  This topic was not new to Janet as she grew up with a father who read every book about Edgar Cayce, one of the most famous and accurate prophets to ever live, and a mother who read Sybil Leek, who was a self-proclaimed witch and wrote about the mystical, occult, and psychic phenomenon.  Janet herself had written an essay in high school entitled, Death As A Part of Life, and got the top mark in class.

After reading You Cannot Die Janet vowed to meet Ian Currie.  She tracked him down near her parent's home in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto.  Ian lived near High Park.  Janet went to see Ian every few weeks for over a year.  With his guidance, Janet went into past lives and alternate states and experienced the power of transformation.  After visiting one past life in ancient Rome where her parents (from her current life) were quarreling over money and both tumbled over a cliff to their death Janet felt a great weight lift as she finally understood her parent's constant struggle with abundance.  They would prosper and have more than enough, and then lose it and have to rebuild.  Each time they met Janet would chat with Ian about why he was doing the past life work.  “I have to repay my lifetimes where I was a dark sorcerer”, Ian told her, “So I help people to grow in this life”.

This was one of the turning points for Janet’s career.   She was inspired by her own healing and transformations and vowed to help others to grow in a similar way.  In 1984 Janet began to facilitate past life sessions for others in her spare time.  She studied energy healing, hypnosis, regression, craniosacral therapy as well as coaching and counseling to build her repertoire of transformative techniques.  In the meantime, she traveled all over the world to visit some of the greatest healers and mystics to build her faith in the possibility of healing through the power of Spirit.

Janet’s healing research took her to Cris Griscom at the Light Institute in New Mexico, Rosalyn Bruyere in California, Barbara Brennan in Boston, Sai Baba in Bangalore, India, Hanna Kroeger in Boulder Colorado, and Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan, Sri Krishna and Sri Prethaji at the O&O Academy in Chennai, India.

Today Janet teaches 12 professional levels of Energy Medicine as a professor of the College of International Holistic Studies.  Janet is a certified Hypnosis Instructor and has also created a Certificate Program in Regression, as well as in Mediumship and Channeling.

“Every day that I take people into altered states, past lives, early childhood, and the future convinces me more of life beyond death and the power of energy and the spiritual realm to help us heal.  I love to facilitate profound shifts in others and to teach other healers how to take their gifts to the next level.”  Janet Amare
