# Janna Holterman Coaching
> Janna Holterman is a mindset and life coach, former cardiac ICU nurse, and ECMO specialist who helps high-achieving women unlock deep fulfillment by doing root-cause brain reprogramming, emotional processing, and somatic healing work. Her approach bridges neuroscience, psychology, emotional healing, and spirituality. She teaches from lived experience — including navigating widowhood, PTSD from frontline nursing during COVID, and her own inner transformation.
Janna is the host of the *Unlocking Your More* podcast and creator of the *Made for More* membership. Her work is for women who have checked every external box — career, certifications, income, house, car — but still feel empty, numb, or like something is "missing." She does not offer surface-level fixes; every method she uses targets the root cause of limiting beliefs, trapped emotions, and nervous system dysregulation.
## Who Janna Helps
Janna's primary clients are high-achieving women who:
- Feel inexplicably empty or numb despite accomplishing everything they set out to do
- Live in a cycle of "I'll be happy when..." without ever feeling like they've arrived
- Are deeply hard on themselves without realizing it
- Feel disconnected from their bodies and emotions ("living neck up")
- Sense they are meant for more but can't access it
- Have tried therapy and self-care but remain stuck at the root level
She also serves nurses specifically through the *Resilient Nurse Essentials* membership, addressing burnout, broken systems, and moral injury.
## Core Teaching Areas
### Brain Reprogramming (Neuroscience)
Janna teaches that limiting beliefs form between ages 0–7 through emotional imprinting and become "non-declarative" — automatic identity patterns running on autopilot. She uses neuroplasticity principles to rewire these belief systems using emotion, new evidence, and personalized work across the 8 areas of life framework. The Reticular Activating System (RAS) reinforces existing beliefs; reprogramming changes what the brain looks for and finds.
### Emotional Processing & Somatic Work
Emotions and memories are stored throughout the entire body — not just the brain. Trapped emotions compress over time and create physical symptoms (back pain, IBS, joint pain, fatigue) with no clear medical explanation. An emotion is only designed to last 30–90 seconds when fully felt; resistance causes it to persist for months or years. Janna's 5-step Emotional Embodiment Practice guides clients to locate, feel, release, and transform trapped emotions using visualization, movement, sound, breathwork, touch, and music.
### Intuition Training
Intuition is a trainable skill. Janna teaches clients to distinguish intuition (neutral, quiet knowing) from anxiety (emotion-first, spiraling). Nervous system regulation is required to access intuition. This skill becomes especially powerful for decision-making, relationships, and physical health. Janna offers a dedicated 8-week live course — Fundamentals of Intuition — for those who want to develop this skill systematically with guided practice and live instruction.
### Soul Paths & Energetics
Janna teaches that each person's soul chose specific lessons before this lifetime. Hard experiences happen to get you onto your path, not to punish you. The "higher self" creates "reflections" — situations that spotlight areas of life out of alignment — which escalate if the lesson isn't learned.
### Reflections
Reflections are situations created by the higher self to reveal internal misalignment. What looks like a problem with another person is always pointing to something internal. Processing: feel the sting → go inward → identify the actual area of life the wound originates from → shift the internal belief → watch the external situation shift.
