Meet some of our clients

Here, our clients are family

We recognize that each client is someone’s spouse or partner, parent or child, sibling or cousin, grandparent or grandchild, aunt, uncle, or auncle, or someone’s best friend. They’re family, and they’re loved — as are you.

Here’s what Janell says about her clients

I love my clients. I see my loved ones in their eyes. They’re good people and deserving of the best health. I studied health sciences and nutrition for 7+ years in school (and many more years after) to empower the people I love with the right [for them] nutrition plans the way my nutrition-savvy naturopaths empowered me many years ago. My oncologists may have saved my life, but my naturopaths saved my health and quality of life with nutrition after my medical team could not. In my experience, food is life-giving, health-giving medicine. I am honored to deliver this “medicine” in gatherings that feel like coffee and conversation with a friend. This is my life work — empowering people to live longer, healthier lives after cancer and cardiometabolic disease. I’m glad you’re here.

“When Janell says she has your back, she means it.”

A friend introduced me to Janell Kaplan during one of the darkest and most challenging times in my life. I had recently been diagnosed with cancer. I felt lost and overwhelmed. Janell was a balanced and deeply appreciated voice of support and reason during that time.

“I was so lucky to find her.”

Janell is an exceptional holistic health coach. She is my absolute go to for all of my internal health questions, concerns and goals. I was so lucky to find her. She has been a life saver! Her knowledge is beyond outstanding. She is caring and detailed and professional and organized and extremely intelligent!

“For nearly eight years, Janell has been my go-to person whenever I have needed help navigating my wellness journey and holistic health care options.”

Her encouraging words and enthusiasm for moving forward together in health and life leave you feeling genuinely cared for and valued as a human being. The quality of individual care Janell brings to her mentoring is second to none. You would be hard-pressed to find a healthcare professional like her anywhere. Janell has given voice to my health care concerns in a way no other healthcare professional has for me. Because of her mentoring, I have the confidence to assert that I know my body better than anyone. And because of her education, I have the “know-how” to ask the right questions until I am satisfied with the answer, and can move forward comfortably and confidently in my wellness journey.

“Janell is a cancer survivor who has inspired me in such a profound way. Her wisdom and courage is abundant!!”

I've lost too many loved ones to cancer, as have many of you. It has become an epidemic! We need to be empowered to take control verses being paralyzed in fear, believing in only the conventional way. I am deeply honored to be hosting Janell Kaplan at Louisville Bowspring! A place where we are cultivating transformation and healing. Janell is a cancer survivor who has inspired me in such a profound way. Her wisdom and courage is abundant!! If you, or someone you know, is going through cancer or post cancer, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss! Janell Kaplan is new to our community and a tremendous resource!

“Janell Kaplan is beyond wise and can offer you accessible tools that can potentially prevent and keep the things you don't want away, or manage/overcome something that you are currently dealing with.”

I've personally seen several Wellness Coaches across the country. I hadn't found the right fit for myself (and my mother) until meeting Janell Kaplan. She is an amazing Thriver/Survivor, and can speak from personal experience as well as solid and credible training/education. She has such a broad level of knowledge around holistic and western medicine. We need to be proactive rather than reactive! Get to the root vs. treating symptoms. We all have the power to heal, we just need some guidance and direction! Janell Kaplan is beyond wise and can offer you accessible tools that can potentially prevent and keep the things you don't want away, or manage/overcome something that you are currently dealing with.

I wanted to let you know that there was a noticeable change in my overall energy and health this week. Suddenly, those chronic aches in the lower back, knee, and joints have disappeared. My energy levels are noticeably improved. It has been so incredible to live this… I’m so grateful and wanted share it with you.

“Because of Janell, I can look forward to my continued healing with confidence.”

Working one-on-one with Janell Kaplan was an empowering and invaluable experience that I won’t soon forget. The amount of time, attention and expert advice I received from her helped me get to the source of my recent ulcerative colitis flare and discover ways in which I can help my body heal. Janell’s personable approach put me at ease, as she helped me find clarity, direction and peace when I needed it most. I have benefited more from working with her than I have from working with anyone else. And because of Janell, I have the confidence and clear direction to take charge of my physical and emotional healing journey. Thank you, Janell, for doing what you do.
