From My Heart
A Letter From Jeanette
Sanctuary by the Sea was born from something I witnessed over and over in 27 years of healthcare - in hospitals, in hospice, in the military, in private homes.
People being asked to keep going when what they needed was to stop.
I created this space as a place to land. As a Mother, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Yoga Therapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Air Force Veteran, I have spent my life at the intersection of ancient wisdom and evidence-based care - and I have seen what becomes possible when people are finally held with skill and with gentleness.
Here, healing is not rushed. Your body is listened to. Your whole story is welcome.
Sanctuary is a trauma-informed wellness and education center in Point Pleasant, New Jersey rooted in the truth that healing happens in community. You arrived whole and we believe in holding space for you to remember.
With love,
Jeanette
