Janice Eng
Aligning Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit
True healing begins when we address the whole self. Through integrative practices that reach body, mind, heart, and spirit, I help you reconnect with the power within - your innate capacity to heal, to grow, and to thrive.
Schedule a ConsultationAbout Janice
A second-generation Chinese American from Eastern Washington, I spent over 30 years as a massage therapist, where I became deeply aware of the stories, emotions, unexpressed truths, and trauma that people store in their bodies. This understanding shapes everything I do - the conviction that lasting healing requires aligning body, mind, heart, and spirit together. Talk therapy is a powerful tool, but it often cannot reach the deepest-seated blocks held at the body level.
My integrative approach bridges this gap. By combining comprehensive mind-body healing systems with evidence-supported emotional regulation tools and compassionate recovery support, I help you access and resolve patterns at their origin - not just the surface symptoms. The goal is not simply surviving, but awakening the power within you to truly thrive.
I have taught Nonviolent Communication in the community for over 20 years, 10 of which I also taught in Washington State prisons through Freedom Project, an organization I helped found. I am also a founding member of Northwest Compassionate Communication. A certified substance use disorder professional, I facilitate Restorative Circles in organizations through A Center for Restorative Solutions and have a deep passion for racial equity and transformation, having served on the InterPlay Racial Equity Team and facilitated Peace Circles through Circle Works. For the last two years I have been working with substance use disorders, integrating InterPlay practices into all of my workshops.

Integrative Modalities
Every healing journey is different. These are multiple doorways into the same work: aligning body, mind, heart, and spirit.
HBLU
Healing from the Body Level Up. A comprehensive system for aligning body and mind by identifying and resolving the deepest origins of physical, emotional, and spiritual issues. HBLU reaches blocks held at the body level that talk therapy alone cannot access - unlocking the power within for profound, lasting change.
EFT
Emotional Freedom Techniques. Often called "tapping," EFT combines gentle acupressure with focused intention to calm the mind and release what the heart carries - stress, emotional tension, and limiting beliefs. By tapping on specific meridian points, we support the body's natural balance and build emotional resilience.
Recovery Support
Substance Use Disorder Support. Compassionate guidance for the challenging and rewarding path of recovery. Rather than addressing symptoms alone, I work with the underlying emotional and energetic patterns that fuel addictive behaviors - honoring body, mind, heart, and spirit to support sustainable, meaningful healing.
Nonviolent Communication
NVC / Compassionate Communication. Developed by Marshall Rosenberg, NVC is a framework for speaking from the heart and connecting through empathy. By identifying feelings and universal human needs, we transform conflict into understanding - aligning how we communicate with who we truly are.
InterPlay
Creative Body-Based Practice. InterPlay uses movement, storytelling, voice, and stillness to awaken the spirit and unlock the body's wisdom. We are bodies in motion, bodies in relationship, and bodies in community - and InterPlay is a creative, un-intrusive, and affirming way to process and explore what is true for oneself. No experience required.

Upcoming Workshops
Introductory workshops exploring internal authority and personal power for Asian Americans.
Two-Session Workshop Series
Each session focuses on a different dimension of the experience. Register for one or both.
Session 1 - Sunday, May 17, 2026
1:00 – 2:30 PM • $30
For All Asian Americans
We will examine limiting beliefs and expectations shaped by social conditioning, and learn tools to come to true choice. You will also learn to release others' expectations with compassion, honoring oneself while still honoring your culture, and how to gain the clarity and courage to make decisions that are right for you.
Register for Session 1Session 2 - Sunday, July 19, 2026
1:00 – 2:30 PM • $30
For Those Who Identify as Asian American Women
Asian women navigate layers of stereotypes shaped by the intersection of race and gender - often seen as quiet and accommodating, the dutiful worker bee, or even as aggressive when speaking up as others do. Stereotypes obscure the complexity of AAPI women, can diminish their leadership and visibility, and disconnect them from their authentic selves. We will explore the interplay of cultural expectations and ways we may unconsciously collude with our own erasure. We will learn tools to reconnect with our own voice, to express more fully, and to cultivate unapologetic self-trust.
Register for Session 2Your Facilitators
Your workshop facilitators, Akiko Sakai-Kinney and Janice Eng, are mental health professionals and communication coaches whose expertise is in empowering individuals to trust their own voice, wisdom, values, and freedom. Both have taught Nonviolent Communication in public and in Washington State prisons for many years.
Akiko came to the US alone at age 16 from Japan and became a US citizen in 2012. After obtaining a master's degree in piano performance, she struggled with the idea of "performance," and pursued what is genuine, which led her to become a Jungian psychotherapist.
Janice is a second-generation Chinese American with specialization in body/mind healing practices, Nonviolent Communication, and addiction disorders.
