Mini bio
How it started.
Before psychology, Janine spent 17 years in ballet. Her instructor biography at ReGen describes how her own experience of therapy after leaving dance led her toward studying clinical psychology. She completed her doctorate in 2015 and worked with veterans in Wyoming before founding Kreft’s Couch in 2021.
Finding her audience.
Her early social videos made mental health conversations easier to follow through role-play and communication examples. The American Psychological Association included her in its 2021 trends report, describing her videos about anxiety and communication. Boundary-setting became a recurring subject, with Parade highlighting her examples of how to decline a hug politely.
What she makes now.
Kreft’s Couch now spans short videos, a podcast and online courses. Her DailyOM course teaches her approach to polyvagal-informed practices. More recently, she has described herself as a Human Systems Strategist, writing about leadership, pressure and human interactions with technology.
Beyond the couch.
In a first-person Dry Atlas article, she described how yoga teacher training changed her relationship with alcohol. She co-founded the nonalcoholic drinks brand House of Botanique in 2023. Her current biography lists that venture as running from 2023 to 2025.
