My name is Christine Janel, founder and creator of Mind Escape.

I created Mind Escape with a simple intention: to offer a grounded, restorative space where you can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with your body, and give yourself permission to simply be.

I am a licensed massage therapist, licensed esthetician, and medical assistant, with decades of experience in massage, wellness, and therapeutic care. Since beginning my career in the 1990s, I have had the privilege of owning and operating a massage school and four day spas, as well as working hands-on with clients from many different walks of life.

That experience has shaped the way I practice today. I believe massage should be more than a temporary escape—it should support how you move, feel, recover, and live.

My work includes injury treatment massage, assisted stretching, therapeutic bodywork, and personalized care plans designed around your individual body and lifestyle. Whether you are recovering from an injury, experiencing chronic tension, supporting an active or athletic lifestyle, or simply feeling the effects of everyday stress, each session is thoughtfully customized to meet you where you are.

Sessions are available in our studio or in the comfort of your home, and I also travel nationally and internationally to provide personalized care for clients who wish to maintain consistency in their wellness and bodywork.

At Mind Escape, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. Your body has its own history, patterns, strengths, and needs. My role is to listen—to you and to your body—and create an experience that supports both.

Because sometimes the greatest thing we can give ourselves is permission to escape the noise, return to the body, and reconnect with ourselves.

Welcome to Mind Escape.

It would be my honor to work with you and create a personalized plan for your body, your lifestyle, at the mind escape. 

With gratitude,
Christine Janel
