Who is Bev Janisch?
As a former nurse, I’ve always been devoted to easing suffering. Now, I help people transform not just stress, but the deeper suffering that arises when we’ve lost touch with who we truly are.
I believe that the universe brought us together for a reason.
Many folks these days are feeling stressed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves without the tools to look inside themselves in order to live with a deeper sense of inner peace, presence and purpose.
If this is you, you’re definitely not alone!
Having walked this path myself, I know what it feels like to feel lost, confused and stuck.
My Turning Point
In 2012, I stood on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the highest peaks in the world, and I had never been lower. On the outside, my life appeared “perfect’, but on the inside, I was deeply disconnected from myself. This confusing feeling that something vital was missing ( and a gentle nudge from my doctor because of “stress”) led me to practice meditation and mindfulness.
I initially turned to meditation and mindfulness seeking relief from stress—physical symptoms, emotional overwhelm, and mental fog. But as I continued to practice, I realized that my stress wasn’t just about external pressures or a busy mind. It was pointing to something deeper. Beneath the surface, I was experiencing what I now call soul hunger—a quiet ache to feel like myself again, find my voice and live with deeper purpose, clarity, and joy.
This journey home to myself taught me that I wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed—I was becoming the truest version of me.

A Proven Path to Authentic Happiness
I know the inner stress terrain intimately. I’m someone who has lived, studied, and transformed many layers of inner stress in my own life. I felt lost, confused and stuck without the tools or a map to find my way home to myself. This inspired me to pull it all together in the 4 Keys to Authentic Happiness Framework—a holistic path that blends science and soul to rediscover vitality, connection, and purpose.
The 4 Keys Framework emerged from seeing how traditional stress management approaches often fell short by focusing solely on daily stressors and surface-level solutions. By bridging the gap between scientific understanding and soulful wisdom, this innovative approach integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, psychology, emotional resilience and universal spiritual principles with practical mind-body techniques to live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
The 4 Keys to unlock authentic happiness
These keys guide you step-by-step from inner stress toward authentic happiness and deeper self-alignment:
Each of these four keys builds upon the others, creating a framework that supports deep personal transformation and authentic happiness. Self-regulation lays the foundation. Self-love nurtures your inner world. Self-discovery reconnects you with your truth. Self-expression brings that truth to life.
By integrating these four keys, you transform inner stress into a life filled with clarity, connection, and authentic happiness.
Authentic happiness is a grounded, inner sense of peace, presence, and purpose. It’s the kind of well-being that arises when you feel calm in your body, clear in your mind, and connected to your true self.
Why I Do This Work
Now as a former nurse with a Master’s in Nursing turned Integral Coach, meditation teacher, Enneagram practitioner, and HeartMath Certified Mentor, I help individuals who feel lost, stuck, or like something essential is missing reconnect with their true selves and rediscover clarity, peace, and authentic happiness.
I don’t just teach these tools—I walk alongside you as a guide who has lived the questions and found a path through them.
I’ve witnessed remarkable transformations when people get the tools, insights and support they need: clients finding their authentic voice, healing health challenges and relationships, and discovering the peace that comes from living in alignment with their truest selves.
In 2019, I published Awakening A Woman’s Soul: The Power of Meditation and Mindfulness to Transform Your Life to share these insights more widely. While my book focused on women, my approach has evolved to guide anyone seeking deeper alignment and authentic happiness.
Ready to Begin Your Journey?
Whether you’re feeling stressed, lost, stuck, or yearning to reconnect with yourself, my approach meets you where you are, guiding you toward authentic happiness.
You deserve to live a vibrant, connected and meaningful life that feels good to your soul. It begins by turning inward—toward the self you’ve always been becoming.
