Hypnosis, Health Coaching and Therapeutic Massage: Are they right for me? A conversation with Elaine Jansen

Hypnosis, Health Coaching and Therapeutic Massage: Are they right for me? A conversation with Elaine Jansen

Today I speak with Elaine (Lanie) Jansen. Lanie’s  journey as a healer began as a young girl.  Even as a child, she had a strong desire to help others.  Her goal is to create peace and harmony through touch, energy, food, and guidance.  She has always been fascinated by the spiritual realm, believing in Angels long before it became popular.

Hypnosis is a way to visualize, imagine and wonder about the many paths to success while removing the blocks that we place in front of ourselves typically due to fear, stresses, feeling unworthy, or being attached to unhelpful thoughts or patterns.

Hypnosis can relieve stress, grief, feelings of being “blinded” related to vision loss in order to create space to “see” or create a successful happy life and envision their highest potential as well as find new gifts, new perspectives, new ways.

Blind, but I can see! #itscomplicated

Blind, but I can see! #itscomplicated

My name is Kevin McNally. I am “blessed” with the gift of progressive vision loss. I was diagnosed shortly after birth with an extremely rare retina disease called Albi Punctate Dystrophy. Living with the uncertainty of when, or if totally, you will lose all your vision certainly focuses the mind. It is important to learn how to create your own happiness and motivation in your daily life.

Although losing my vision certainly can take the front seat in my life, it in NO WAY defines me and what I am capable of in my life. Vision loss serves to motivate me.  

As a legally blind musician, traveler, motivational speaker, lawyer, communicator, and much more, I remain contagiously upbeat and happy. I am passionate about vision loss; educating others on the realities of vision loss; and how to lead an inspiring and successful life, irrespective of visual challenges. I am thrilled to bring my passion for life to you.
Life is short, live it well.
