My journey with Core Energetics started in February of 2002, when I had a spiritual awakening during a workshop that was so powerful, it took me 2.5 years of intense work on myself just to understand what had happened. Had I just been a witness to someone else’s process, I would have been more able to think of it as just weird, strange and kinda crazy. But because it was happening to me, in my own body, I could not discount it, I couldn’t keep running from it, and had to find out more.

Up until that moment my adult life had been filled with monumental outlandish successes, all unconsciously designed to keep me from feeling powerful feelings of fear, pain and powerlessness that I kept hidden deep inside. The cost of holding back all these feelings was at the root of so much suffering in my life, and struggles in my relationships.

Jana Sinyor began her career as a screenwriter and television producer, and won numerous awards for her work, including an international Emmy. She created several television series, including Being Erica, which ran for four years on the CBC, and ultimately led her to discover Radical Aliveness and Core Energetics. Jana completed her training at the Core Energetics Institute in New York, and for the past five years, has facilitated weekly groups and workshops in Toronto and Los Angeles on topics including sex and attraction, the shadow, boundaries and relationships. In addition to her private practice, Jana teaches a five-module, intensive transformation program in Toronto, where she lives with her husband and two children.

My goal is to guide and support individuals on their journey toward discovering their inner divinity, just as my teachers have done for me. I am a trained Core Energetics practitioner with a postgraduate degree in Corenergetics and Integrative Body Psychotherapy. I have also been certified in Trauma Release through the CoreEvolution Institute and hold international certificates in various coaching fields such as Life Coaching, Executive Coaching, Ontological Coaching, Team Coaching, and Project Coaching.

With over 15 years of experience in private practice, I have led individual and group supervision processes, workshops, courses, and conferences in various forums and countries. I collaborate with Corpore México by leading supervision groups and teaching workshops. I also work with the Montreal Corenergetics Institute in several of its programs.
