Having recently recovered from cancer, Jan has developed a new guide, Lifting Your Spirits – seven tools for coping with illness, a practical guide with 2 CDs, for patients coping with serious illness, with others in the Janki Foundation, which was published in July 2008.  She is an advisory board member of the British Holistic Medical Association and former trustee.  She has a strong interest in holistic health care, well-being, spirituality and values-based training.

"While feelings like anger, jealousy and simmering resentment can feed illness, feeling positive aids recovery and boosts the immune system.  One of the most effective ways of uplifting ourselves out of negative thinking is to actively appreciate the good in ourselves and in our lives."
