Today we’d like to introduce you to Janelle King-Low.
Hi Janelle, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I stumbled upon becoming a massage therapist back in 2006, during a sobatical I took from two years of community college because of family health and financial issues. During that time, I was working to save money to continue my education for being a teacher. During that time, I had the television on in the background, and heard the commercial for the massage therapy program for a technical school. Something inside me said “you can be making more money after twelve weeks than I was making at hotel front desk.” So I applied for the school, went through the interview process, and got full financial aid by the Spring of 2007. I Then began the massage program July 2007.
As I started going through the program, I fell more and more in love with helping people and all that I was learning. Once I graduated, and started working in Myerstown, PA amongst the Mennonite community. When I did my first interview, the interviewing therapist asked me afterwards if I was using a special heating lotion. I had replied “No, it was the same lotion we used in massage school.” She said the massage felt great, and that it was a gift to have that energy come through my hands.
Over the next year, I had learned specialized spa modalities through working at a more upscale spa in Lancaster county, before I moved to Northern New Jersey. While in New Jersey, I continued to grow in education learning different modalities, working in various locations such as Chiropractors offices and Spas before beginning my own business. I also used massage to outreach to the community through volunteer work for the Avon Breast Cancer walks in NYC, Fundraising Bike Rides, and 5k’s.
Once I moved back to Pennsylvania, I had to overcome taking the certification exam for the state licensure to work back in my home state. Once I achieved that exam, I felt unstoppable to do the greater things of being able to go to any state that I wanted to share the message of healing and restoration of muscle tension where-ever I go.
During the time I was in Pennsylvania, I then enrolled into ministry school, to learn how the Holy Spirit and Jesus heals through me, and it is His power that heals, and I was just the vessel. Once I completed school, I moved to Northern Virginia and became ordained as an Apostolic leader with a ministry, and met my husband. After three years of combining ministry with massage, I had a burning in my heart to move back to Pennsylvania to begin a vision that was burning in me to create Metamorphosis Healing Center.
The Metamorphosis Healing Center vision began when I was in Pennsylvania- as a three part process to reach out to people who were living in darkness, stress, tension, lost, hopelessness, pain- feeding on the lies of the world, as people were slowly going through life as caterpillers. They would then come into the place of the Christelis, or cocoon to be transformed- physically, emotionally, and spiritually, coming to a place of complete healing and transformation, learning what is true, and living a life without pain and sickness. The cocoon state is a place where people could live transparently and real in community and in a state of rest and peace, while they heal. Once they were done with their healing process, we would train and equip them to live from their transformed life as a free butterfly- sending them out into the world to be the world transformation creation is crying out for.
In late 2025, I moved back to Pennsylvania to our current location to begin the Micro-healing center, and to begin the process of start unfolding this vision. I have great anticipation that the fullness of Metamorphosis Healing Center would be a state of the art multi-sensory healing retreat and training center, not just for the region, but for the world.
Just recently, we completed a build out of a bus as we converted it into a mobile massage office to take healing to the community, as we begin to partnership with anti-trafficking organizations, homeless organizations, and to use at events and music festivals.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it hasn’t been a smooth road, it had cost me relationships, finances, and my own personal desires in order to fulfill the blueprint God gave me for His purpose in my life. I had to overcome emotional rollercoasters, trauma, and losses- but in the end it is the joy of the vision that is set before me.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
So not only am I a massage therapist and ordained minister, I dabble in various forms of creativity and healing arts. From painting on canvas to painting on silk, to burning on leather, and other textile art, and jewelry making- these forms were just training for creating healing workshops for the healing center. When I am not in the massage room, I could be found tie dying, dancing, singing, playing a drum or clarinet, or baking- releasing emotional hurts and turning them into something good.
What makes you happy?
Being able to express myself in any way that I can and to share it with others. These things aren’t for me to hold on for myself, but to share with others, and that heart of giving back and appreciation is what fuels me to do more for others.
