Janine has been with Vicars School from 2002. Janine owned a successful clinic in Lacombe for many years and continues to practice in Lacombe independently. As an employer, she became interested in teaching massage because of her experience with training new massage therapists on the job. She found it frustrating that the schools at the time were not producing graduates that were ready to work effectively. She helped founder Maryhelen Vicars to fine-tune the new school’s program to a higher level of job readiness for its grads. 

She is a valued advisor to the leadership team on curriculum, teacher training, and academic rigor. Janine is a liaison between the Edmonton and Calgary campuses and a tireless advocate for both students and instructors to ensure they can be both successful and effective.
