Great studio! Tried a few different classes with Dayna Holli and loved them all. It was so relaxing, didn’t want to get up and go home! I liked how we tried some inversions and used props to go deeper into poses and explored other options. All the classes I went to were small and intimate, and there were blocks, straps, blankets and mats to use. I personally like a 90 minute yoga class, which they offer several of. No attitude here, very warm and welcoming.

Great little sweet yoga studio. We were here on vacation and Jackie warmly welcomed us and led a relaxing and invigorating class!

Jane is simply incredible, giving much more than just a massage… rather more of a healing session that happens to feel just incredible. She brings my body to life and after every visit I have left with a wonderful sense of well being. She does the whole body, uses hot stones and finishes with cranio-sacral work. Healing to body and spirit. Nice to talk to as well. Makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Jane has a great deal of empathy and truly cares. A jewel in our community. Easiest way to schedule a session is by texting her.

Jane is amazing! Getting a massage from her has been one of my highlights for the year. What more can one ask for? She can be super strong(if that’s what you’re into, the deep tissue) or gentle, in-tune, intuitive and understands the spirit not just the body. Look, I have had over 100 massages in my life by many practitioners. Jane is in the top 5 people. Actually, now that I’m writing this review, I’m starting to think she may be even more booked now than she already is:(Haha! Thank you Jane! You’re the best!

Jane is hands down the best massage therapist I have been to, and I have been to A LOT of massage therapists. I’m pregnant and she was able to give me a deep massage, with warming stones working specifically on areas that have been in chronic pain as well as guiding me and my body in the particular pains and constrictions due to growing belly. Beyond her incredible muscular skelatal expertise, she is also so gifted at moving emotionally stuck energy in the body and skilled cranial sacral work. Basically Jane had me in all aspects of what I needed, and I’m a bit of a complicated case(: Would highly recommend her to anyone. She and the studio she has built is a real hidden gem on the coast!

A wonderful studio with highly qualified instructors. Klaus is awesome! The studio is beautiful and fully stocked with props. My favorite place to practice yoga!

Quite possibly the best massage I have ever had — and I’ve been getting regular massage for almost 10 years. Jane is very intuitive and worked on problem areas that I didn’t even mention. Her technique is strong and gentle at the same time — she has a knack for working a spot very deeply, but painlessly. Her studio, Joy of Being, is lovely and the massage room is a little oasis. I highly recommend Jane to anyone, veteran massage recipient or first timer, she will know exactly how to work on you!

My husband surprised me with a massage here for our one year wedding anniversary! I can’t think of a better surprise. :) Jane, our massage therapist, is all around amazing! She gave me and then my husband, amazing massages. She tailored our massages to fit our individual needs — a nursing mother who carries around a baby, and a busy office worker who stays at a computer typing all day. She fixed what needed to be fixed in both of us. The massages were WONDERFUL. We felt amazing afterward! Jane is the BEST. She’s a super sweet lady, too! :)

Jane is a skilled massage therapist who is in tune with what her client’s physical and energetic needs are. Jane is strong and if you like deep tissue with hot stones and a little Reiki thrown in, you will be very happy and satisfied. I had not done energy work before seeing Jane and was somewhat skeptical. I have to say it really works. I am a psychotherapist and am often holding«stuff» from clients sessions that isn’t mine. The energy work lifts this and I feel unburdened and relaxed within minutes of the massage. I highly recommend Jane and the Joy of Being.

I’ve never been one for a long-term regular exercise program, but a year and a half of chronic pain directed me towards taking better care of myself. Back in January of this year I started taking yoga at Joy of Being when my sister suggested it. Jessica Archer teaches an Anusara yoga class on Monday/Wednesday and now I’m up to both classes a week(had started slow with just Wednesdays). When I don’t go, I miss it and my mind and body feel less centered during the rest of my week. Jessica is a fabulous yogi and makes her classes soothing, informative and challenging at the same time. Not that I want to give up my mat space with more people coming to class(lol) but she really is a fantastic teacher.

I booked a private session with Naia after attending the Monday 9 am yoga and sound healing class with her last week. I’ve been so maxed out with work and family and haven’t taken a class in over two months. I’m embarrased at how out of shape I feel, but felt secure in very capable hands. She addressed my special joint issues which have kept me away from yoga for a long time. The sound element of her work is hard to describe, but it is very energizing and its great to have a new spark in my practice and a new tool for creating mind body synergy. This is a very deep yoga, gentle yet challenging, energizing, and the perfect amount of sore the next day. The one on one session is really going to help me know what to do in her classes and really get the most out of it in the safest way for me. I found my teacher!

I have been going to Joy of Being for quite some time. I have a number of physical issues that I need regular massage for. Jane is awesome. She works hard enough in to get to the nitty gritty of it all. It is difficult to find any masseuse that will do the seriously deep tissue work, let alone for extended periods of time. She knows the muscles and where there need help. She has helped me physically in a big way. I would be seriously debilitated without her skills. It is a very personal and private, yet a very welcoming situation. I would highly recommend Joy of Being AND Jane.

I LOVE getting massages from Jane. She is INCREDIBLE. The space is beautiful, and feels soooo sacred. I always feel like I’m walking into a visit with the Divine when I go in for a massage. She is strong and wonderful as a massage therapist on the purely physical realm, but also, she really does move into a sacred space in the work she does. I find myself drifting into deep healing… My energy is completely transformed after work with her. Whenever I feel out or sorts, disconnected, overwhelmed or that I just need to really get in touch with myself, come home… I know it’s time to go see Jane. I LOVE her. She is an incredible woman. An incredible healer. An inspiration. I also have been to a couple yoga classes & enjoyed them very much. I look forward to going to more. I am so grateful Jane & Joy of Being are here on the coast. She has been a tremendous resource for me in many areas of my life. ~ Nadine

I went to Joy of Being for acupuncture treatment from Joanna Shell(see separate review). The space at Joy of Being is wonderful — looking forward to trying a yoga class there soon!

Ever since this center opened, life on the coast has gotten richer, more meaningful, and more community oriented. Jane, the owner, has created a beautiful green studio space, and has brought in top notch yoga teachers, not to mention amazing healers. The family constellation events with Julie Williams are not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Joy of Being was built with such care and good intention that you can feel a huge wave of love when you walk through the doors. There is an amazing group of healers and teachers who all have dedicated their lives to making the world better and life more full. Whether you are looking for a massage, a yoga class, an experience of Quantum healing,(just a few of the things offered here)…you will be gently guided to a deeper alignment and connection with yourself and with the truth of the universe. I highly recommend Joy of Being for anyone and everyone!
