Massage has been a passion in Janis's life since she graduated college. She knew immediately after receiving her first massage, that massage was her calling.  Life took an unexpected turn, and she became the Fitness Director at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA for several years, and then a fitness trainer at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa before returning to massage.  After obtaining her HHP - Holistic Health Practitioner - license in 1996, she started her own business, and has been massaging ever since. Dogs and horses have been in her life since the day she took her first breath and they have surrounded her ever since.  "They expand my heart and can bring a tear to my eye with one look."  Having such wonderful experiences with her human clients for over 20 years, and with her deep love of our four legged companions, she decided working with horses and dogs was a natural progression of her business.

 

She received her CCMT - Certified Canine Massage Therapist - from the Ojai School of Canine Massage and her ESMT – Equine Sports Massage Therapist – from Equissage. Into her vocations, she brings along 15 years of studying the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition; an Earth honoring practice. The main focus of Swann Massage is to assist people and animals to a greater level of health and happiness through massage.
