Janoel came to this work through her mother-daughter coming-of-age retreat, Step Into Womanhood, which she ran for seven years. She found it a joy to help young people grow up with confidence in their bodies and selves, able to ask for what they need. This came from Janoel’s years in women’s circles, co-creating a shared space for reflection and connection.
Janoel enjoys holding a safer, engaging space, with a bit of fun and trauma-informed compassion and awareness of neurodiverse needs in learning. She is an Associate facilitator-educator with the Groupwork Centre and has worked in TAFE, university and community for more than 25 years. Her current roles include training secondary teachers in being more collaborative with their students and training new facilitators of Celebration Day for Girls workshops internationally.
Janoel offers a puberty and well-being school program, Celebration Day for Girls and Fathers Celebrating Daughters workshops, and tailors learning experiences to meet learner needs.
With two young adult children, Janoel is a foodie, reader and storyteller, making time for daily walks with her dog by the Merri Creek in Melbourne’s inner north, enjoying weekly yoga, reading fiction and non-fiction (neuroscience and psychology geek) and dancing when she can.
Janoel’s quals include a Bachelor of Arts (Monash), Graduate Certificate in Training Management, Advanced Diploma in Hospitality, Certificate IV TAE in Training and Assessment and Steiner Teacher Training. She has a Working With Children Check.
