Meet Janaye
News Producer Turned Massage Therapist
Hello world. I’m Janaye the woman behind Hara.
Back in 2015 I made a life changing decision to quit my corporate job as a News Producer. Ever since then I’ve been on a pursuit of happiness, (cue Kid Cudi lol).
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t always know where I’d land. I simply knew in my gut that my incredibly stressful career as a Journalist and News Producer wasn’t it.
Back in my producing days, I always practiced Yoga in an attempt to create some balance in my life. One day it simply hit me like a ton of bricks how happy I was doing Yoga. The peace of mind that I felt during and after spending time on my mat was unmatched. I had to follow that bliss, so I did. I quit news, left Saint Louis for Nashville and started Yoga Teacher Training.
Teaching Yoga was absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I met so many incredible people, some of which are my closest friends till this day. Yoga then served as a stepstone into the world of Massage and Bodywork. Fast forward to present day – I’m now the Lead Massage Therapist at an incredibly busy spa in Nashville. I will be honest, my journey from News Producing to becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist was not easy at all. There were so many bumps along the way but I evolved so much during the process. I even managed squeeze in time to travel the world as I figured things out (major bonus!) I truly love my life now and I wouldn’t change a thing.
