Early on, Jan decided that having lots of careers would be more fun than just one (or even two)..  She carried her experience as a homemaker into becoming a  systems analyst, founding her own manufacturing company in 1988.  Soon afterwards she came into consciousness around her spiritual journey, completed her B.S. in Psychology and trained in massage therapy, Cranial Sacral, Polarity, Core Energetics©, Somatic Experiencing©, Past Life Awareness and accessing Akashic records -- while also earning her commercial pilot’s license.  She is a voracious collector of films from all genres and uses them to illustrate and explore Pathwork concepts.  Jan served for several years as PoC Administrator and was the first Helper certified by the Pathwork of California.  She moved to Australia in 2000 to design and facilitate Pathwork Transformation Programs in Melbourne and Perth.  She continues to support workers and graduates as director of the Pathwork in Australia.

“It took a long time for me to profoundly understand that spirit can’t be known like science, physics or math.  It took even longer to accept that I didn’t need to control life, only to navigate it. We don’t follow the Plan of Salvation: we ARE the Plan.”

Jan serves as chairman of PHANA, the Pathwork Helpers Association of North America and assisted the Helpers Advisory Group in reviewing Helpership training programs in the US and Canada and created Pathwork in Texas.  She now lives in Brooklyn, New York, having been invited to help care for her grandchild.  She continues to serve clients and students via email and telephone, and travels internationally to offer workshops and seminars.

 

During 2008 and 2009, she offered bi-weekly, free teleconferences as a means of tutoring and connecting with a multi-national list of clients and contacts.  Audio and Video files of these presentations may be downloaded at no charge from her websites, www.janrigsby.com and www.pathworktexas.org.
