Hello, I'm Reverend Janice, Minister of HeartAndSoul Matters, Serving NYC, Westchester and Surrounding Tri-State Areas with wedding and counseling services since 1990. Legally ordained as an Interfaith Minister, I serve in the broadest sense of the word. Counseling and officiating ceremony and ritual is what the law says I can do. How I officiate is limitless with the freedom of a Non-Denominational Minister and my personal experience, skills and creativity. As a contemporary ceremonial artist, I enjoy taking the value of the old and making it new and relevant to what you envision. Our collaboration will create a beautiful, meaningful, personalized ceremony that I'll joyously present with elegance, warmth and spirit.
The heart of a wedding is the ceremony - a unique and precious timeless , we will design a ceremony to honor your occasion, one that reflects your traditions, personality, heart, and soul, one that will strengthen your connection, expands your love and supports a thriving relationship. You and everyone present will feel the love and personalization in the words and rituals that unite you as a married couple.
For your pre or post wedding counseling 'm a supportive, skilled psychotherapist, coach and care-giver one who strives for optimal and thriving. I'm experienced on the journey of life and live mindfully knowledgeable about concerns and situations regarding the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. My work with individuals and couples is progressive and powerful. I regard therapy/counsel as a gift to our self and to all our relationships. Working within a non-judgmental environment and supportive relationship, you will be deeply heard and responded to with empathy, insight and new possibilities. At any stage of your relationship, we can create or remodel a foundation with deep roots and nourish it so you can blossom as an individual and as a couple.
My work is very personalized. I'll do my best to serve you if it feels like we're a good match, and make a referral if we're not. My style is personal, warm, softly direct and collaborative. It's my honor to support you during the best times of your life, as well as the most challenging. I support your choice to live fully alive, alone and in partnership, and am honored to walk beside you in your journey. And if this is the chapter in your life about your wedding how wonderful!
I believe in and stand for the power of Love and Healing and call people to be conscious, loving and fully alive!
I hope to hear from you so we can discuss your needs and how I can be of service.

“Thank you Janice for the lovely ceremony you performed for us on such short notice. You were so awesome. Our family was happy with the ceremony and enjoyed having it in your lovely home. Thank you for everything. Our deepest gratitude.” Maria and Victor, Bronx, NY

“I’m still floating on air, and I can’t thank you enough for your participation in our wedding. Your ‘words’ made everything feel just so right, so heartfelt, so candid and special-to everyone present. Like I told you at the start of that morning, you are a most beautiful soul and I feel absolutely privileged for having met you. I plan on staying in-touch, and I’d recommend you to any couple in a heartbeat.” Marianne, from Yonkers, NY

”I did want to express to you the gratitude and fulfillment Jen and I felt hiring you to facilitate our ceremony. First, we gained tremendous understanding for each other following our couple’s process session with you. The introspective work was helpful to better understand our personal motivations and fears and how those help and hurt the other. Likewise, the ceremony was exactly how we envisioned it, from the perfect setting to the heartfelt words. We were grateful to develop a relationship with you and to know our wedding day would meet all our expectations and more. Our guests continue to express that this was the most thoughtful wedding they had ever been to. Thank you for your passion, kindness and support throughout the entire process. Best,” Matt and Jen, NYC

“Hi Janice, …I see many weddings, but this was such a special one since Gaby and Jim’s intimate ceremony was personally written and therefore so meaningful. I really respect the way you spoke and read the ceremony as I tell the brides and grooms who come to see me how important it is for friends and family to be the witness to vows of commitment. Sometimes they are so caught up in the huge plans, (probably thought about since childhood) that they can forget the why of it all. Perhaps because I’ve spent so much time in 3rd world countries, photographed wars, refugee camps and all kinds of other stories, I can get a grip on the joy and the meaning of the ceremony as well as the fun of the party…Much regards, TRIX” TRIX ROSEN, Photojournalist 212 228-8100 Trix@TrixRosen.com www.Trixrosen.com
