About Us

Musings and Mud Coaching Studio encompasses coaching and creative thinking..  Janet's expertise is in the 'whole brain' approach.  She understands that we are all powerful beings - and we can access our unlimited potential by being open to using our right side of the brain and helping the left side to support us. 

It is through her art, written works, and travel that Janet gets many of her answers... but her real talent lies in helping others find their best access to the 'whole brain' whether it be through creative thinking, insightful conversations, arts, visualization,writing, inspired actions ... the possibilities are endless: Each person is unique. Janet's own intuitive abilities help others to discover their intuitive abilities. "Magical" is a term often used to describe the coaching process.

 is enough to change the world.
 That "knowing' is what empowers Janet to do her

Not a great firespinner, but a firespinner none the less.
