I’m Janie Doherty – a holistic massage therapist, doula, and artist. At the center of all my work is the simple and powerful act of holding space for others. Whether it’s through massage, supporting someone in birth, or creating through movement and art, I believe in the deep healing that comes from being cared for and truly seen.

Massage and doula work allow me to offer people rest, comfort, and grounding at times when they need it most. My art and movement practice weave into this too – exploring community, connection, and the patterns we carry through generations.

I don’t try to fit into one category, because for me it’s all part of the same thing: moving towards love, pleasure, and connection. In every setting – whether I’m at a birth, in the treatment room, performing, or just being a pal – my intention is always to hold, to listen, and to create space for healing.
