“I must preface this testimonial by explaining that I am a non-believer. I am a grass roots cynic. I keep what’s inside - well, inside.
I have struggled with my cigarette addiction off and on (more on) since I was 13 years old. I am now 44. Addiction is a funny thing and I am otherwise a smart human.
Jane helped me stop smoking. Here’s how:
I was able to stand in a neutral space and have conversations with my ‘parts’, ask one to refrain from overwhelming the room and let another speak. I acknowledged all of my parts for their contributions to my self. Sounds bonkers? It’s not. Jane facilitates these ‘conversations’ in the most loving, safe way. It’s like a meditation with oneself – everyone gets heard and everyone gets recognized for being a contributor. I managed to hang out with my teenage rebel, the smoker, appreciate her and listen. She showed me some memories that blew my mind and made me overflow with joy and love and she made me understand her motivation. I negotiated with her on the smoking and we came to an agreement. I set a date and I stopped smoking.
There is a caveat: you have to do the work. You will most likely cry. You have to be prepared to be vulnerable and exposed. It’s part of the journey. You have to show up.
Here’s the joy: this therapy will make you rethink your interaction with the world. You will shed cynicism, you will be able to find beauty in other people’s differences, and you will tread a more gentle, joyful path.
Sound bonkers? It’s not. Coming from a dyed in the wool cynic.
Jane makes all of this safe. I am pretty sure she and I may have saved my life.”

“I trust Jane almost more than anyone I know because she walks her talk and is brimming full of authenticity, integrity, kindness, compassion, and wisdom. Through IFS, and Jane’s modeling, I am embodying those same qualities to a greater degree toward myself and others. Jane and IFS get to the heart of the matter in less time and to a depth I had not thought possible, yet have always yearned for.”

“I have had a number of things happen lately that would have usually triggered me, and I am feeling remarkably more whole. I have a long way to go, but I sense a certain peace and clarity peeking through. I was appreciating you in my morning meditation today, and sending gratitude for you and this work.

“Working with Jane Farrar has allowed me to dive deeper into parts of myself than I have ever gone before. She creates a very safe space, and asks just the right questions at just the right time. I am grateful beyond words for the healing I have experienced during my time with Jane. As I shared with my husband, it felt as if I was able to actually re-write my history, simply by listening to, and caring deeply for, those parts of me who felt wounded or ignored so many years before. I am much more at home in my body and feel more present in this moment, now. It is a gift I will carry with me throughout the rest of my life, and one which has an impact on every day and every relationship.
