Originally trained and certified in Northern California, Janine, and her husband Greg, have owned North Austin Massage Therapy since 1984. Janine received her Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy (PDMT) training at the Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy in 1994, and was personally mentored by Victoria Ross, one of the two Master Pfrimmer Instructors in the world. Janine is a Texas State Certified Massage Therapy Instructor, and is the only Certified Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy Instructor in the State of Texas.

Because of her passion for the work and her desire to train other therapists in learning how to deal with serious muscle conditions, Pfrimmer training is now being offered at the Hands on School of Massage in Beaumont, Texas.

As the Secretary for the Therapeutic Bodyworkers of Austin in 1984-85, she was involved in the political process of creating the original Massage Therapy Registration Act of Texas. She served as the Central Texas Regional Director of the Texas Association of Massage Therapists (TAMT) and on the Texas Legislative Coalition for Massage Therapy, and she is also a member of the Texas Coalition of Massage Schools and Instructors. She currently serves as the Legislative Chairperson of the TAMT and was active during the 79th Legislative session during passing of HB2696 by Rep. Anchia in 2005.

Janine has published articles in MassageToday.com and has been interviewed by ABMP and Massage Magazine. She has been invited to be a presenter for PDMT at the TAMT Conventions and by the Panhandle Association of Massage Therapists. As a Certified Personal Trainer and a Nationally Certified Bodyworker, Janine has had much success specializing in Pain Relief and Injury Rehabilitation in her clinic in Northwest Austin, along with 8 other advanced therapists. Along with PDMT the clinic offers CranioSacral Therapy, Critz Technique™, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release and Pre-Natal Massage.
