| I came to Janice Stieber Rous after at least six months of unrelieved pains in my back and legs, as a result of a successful recovery from a broken ankle. While the Orthopedists and Physical Therapists were able to get me back on my feet, they overlooked the long-term effects of the natural inclination of the body to protect its wounded parts. When you add on four years of out-of-alignment hips, shoulders and knees, I was left with excruciating back spasms and grinding pain in my feet.
Janice worked to make me aware of the connection between conscious relaxation of relevant muscles and a growing sense of confidence and balance in my legs and ankles that had been kept rigid by my body’s protective instincts.
While there are no quick fixes, I can tell you, I have had no back pain in more than a year and the pain in my right foot is gone. After learning Janice’s stretching techniques, I am almost one hundred percent pain free.

Janice Stieber Rous has taught me how to move and breathe more freely through life. She has an incredibly deep understanding of the human body, which she communicates clearly, so that I now have a deeper understanding of my own body and how to best use it. Her teaching has stayed with me over the years and I rely on it daily.

Janice was able to significantly reduce my neck pain. What I didn't appreciate was how that focal pain completely affected everything I did. Not only was the time that Janice spent working with me very helpful, but more important were the multiple simple skills that she taught me in just a few sessions that I now use every day to keep my body feeling good. When the body feels good, it's amazing just how much better I feel about myself and the world around me; I didn't expect that at all. I believe that everyone, even if they were in 'great shape', would benefit from spending time with Janice; they would feel better physically, and quite possibly feel differently overall about themselves.

Janice Stieber Rous and I have been running women's body/mind integration workshops together for a number of years. Her energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and profound knowledge of body dynamics make her an excellent co-leader for me, providing a counterpoint to my psychoanalytic skills. Together we are able to create a safe, nurturing, risk-taking, and life-enhancing environment for the groups of women with whom we work.

Janice Stieber Rous has demonstrated a real gift in being able to teach her students to coax their bodies into healthy and natural patterns they have gotten away from as adults. She is particularly skilled in breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as helping the body sit, stand and walk in balanced, unstressful ways. She has magic hands!

Janice is amazing! In the business world, many people are quick to dismiss wellness work as peripheral. But Janice communicates her ideas with a precision that elicits respect and a passion that is contagious and draws in even the biggest skeptics. I have personally benefited from her wisdom and skill, as have our Wall Street clients. She is a gem.
-Peter Bregman, Bregman Partners, Inc.
Janice Stieber Rous does amazing work. We have brought her to Lake Austin Spa Resort three times in the last year and each time she is a major attraction for our guests. Because her work has such a profound effect on each person who receives it, her appointments book up as soon as one guest receives a session and begins spreading the word.
Janice has the ability to be a masterful artist and a responsible businesswoman. She is a joy to work with because she has the ability to be gentle, nurturing and warm while at the same time being logical, responsible and prompt. She is equally powerful in a one-on-one session as in her group classes. She is able to impart sophisticated techniques and make them easy and delightful to implement. This is truly a rare gift.

I've been seeing Janice Stieber Rous for two years, and as a documentary filmmaker and artist, Janice enabled me to reconnect with my own body and use it as a source of strength. Our sessions have allowed me to work with very serious subject matter and take care of myself at the same time.
