Janelle began her career as a Registered Nurse in high intensity hospital environments before spending more than 20 years in corporate healthcare and pharmaceuticals, holding leadership

roles in sales, training, patient support, and trade relations. She also founded and built one of Ontario's largest adult recreational sports organizations, giving her a unique understanding of

the pressures faced by high performers across healthcare, business, entrepreneurship, athletics, and leadership.


Having spent years believing constant pressure was simply the price of success, Janelle knows firsthand what it feels like to be driven, successful, and quietly overwhelmed. That journey inspired her to create The Freedom Method, blending neuroscience, cognitive behavioural principles, and trauma-informed approaches to help high achievers finally feel as successful on the inside as they appear on the outside, without losing the drive that makes them exceptional.

 

Today, Janelle considers it her life's purpose to help others discover they don't have to choose between achievement and inner peace. Through her professional expertise and lived

experience, she is helping redefine what sustainable high performance truly looks like, proving that your greatest potential isn't found in pushing harder, but in finally finding freedom within

yourself.
