I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves. Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.

We can actually retrain the brain to feel safe and let go of unnecessary pain. Join me today to learn more about how the mind and body communicate, how love and awareness can transform the way we experience pain, and how to begin restoring trust and safety within yourself. I'll also guide you through a simple practice to help your body remember what healing feels like. Tune in, and start awakening your brain's natural ability to heal.
