She is a CT licensed massage therapist and has received training in Craniosacral Therapy. Jane’s love of horses led her to a degree in Animal Science and while working with horses she watched a massage session on an 1800 pound horse that was in pain with every step he took. After 45 minutes of massage therapy, to the amazement of everyone watching, the horse went from walking in pain to a solid trot! Jane knew there was something to this massage therapy stuff.
