My Books
“Love the way Janella talks with words. It is as if she is in the room consulting with you! Can’t wait to read it over and over and use it as an everyday reference book. I have bought 5 of them to share with my sisters.”
“I have read many very good books and articles on transformation, well being, health and diet, but this one by Janella is an exceptional resource. It is such an easy read and a real page turner. It’s full of personality and credibility. It is grounded in common sense, yet is inspirational in its wisdom and insight that definitely springs from extensive knowledge and learning, all of which is enriched and validated by what seems to be Janella’s own authentic journey. There is a refreshing holistic integration in this book of body, mind and spirit, which is all centred and rooted in the heart. I love this book and all that it offers.”
“I simply had to message you and say that your new book is just brilliant, I have been carrying it in my bag for a while it’s truly like a Bible. I have all your books and adore them. You are simply amazing.” – Stephanie
Your 40 Day Transformation
Are you confused by the vast amount of health information available? Do you want to know the truth about what’s going into the food you’re eating, how it’s been grown, and why it may be affecting your health? Why have people never been so sick? And where does the truth about how to live as a well being really lie?
In these pages, you will finally learn how to heal yourself naturally. Freedom from ‘mystery illnesses’ to which modern medicine has no answers, can, at last, be yours. If you are silently suffering with poor health; not knowing where to turn next, or have perhaps been told you it’s all in your head, before being prescribed anti-depressants, sleeping tablets, the pill, HRT or steroids, Your 40 Day Transformation can be the comforting health guidance you need.
21st century health conditions are complex, and need to be treated in the same way. Looked at from every direction. Today, there isn’t even a name for most of the symptoms we’re currently dealing with. There are so many new conditions-and even more symptoms-that most doctors are at a loss to know how to handle each person’s body/mind imbalance. Your 40 Day Reset Program, the last section of this book, will gently guide you back to being the well-being that you crave to be. It has dozens of recipes for every meal, as well as a monthly planner.
Diet is just one part of good health. There are seven other lifestyle choices that can add to or subtract from our wellbeing- different types of stressors (emotional, physical and chemical), the quality of the air we breathe, our sense of connection and belonging, and how much we laugh, exercise, meditate and sleep. Each of these aspects have been explored and discussed, so you will finally know what’s beneficial to your health and happiness, and what’s definitely not.
Natural medicine doesn’t usually provide you with a quick fix-the body needs time and the right circumstances to heal, deeply and from within. If we allow the body to do its job, most of the time, healing will occur naturally. In these pages are the tools you need for your journey back to vibrant health.
