earthðer is the culmination of years of study, practice, and devotion woven together by founder/owner Jana Carter, LMT | CH, based in the Vail Valley of Colorado. Through therapeutic massage + bodywork, herbal medicine + consultations, herbal mixology elixir bar, and Taoist-inspired tea ceremony, each offering honors the natural rhythms that restore balance, alignment, and vitality.
Rooted in nature and guided by passion, earthðer exists to bridge the spaces between body, emotion, and spirit. Every session is an invitation to deepen awareness, reconnect with the innate intelligence of the body, and align one’s own earthðer elements to be both grounded and free.
Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Traditional Thai, Unani Tibb, Taoism & Physiomedicalism paired with modern therapeutics, this work creates experiences that are holistic, intuitive, elemental, and deeply restorative. Whether through touch, plants, or ritual, earthðer offers a space where healing unfolds organically and invites you to reconnect to oneself, to others, and to the living world around us.

| Where earth meets ether |
I believe there is medicine in every aspect of our existence—life & death, love & heartache, joy & sorrow, light & darkness, earth & ether.
In the realm we exist in, one cannot exist without the other. This is the dance of yin and yang. All life is balance.
I believe we are natural alchemists capable of transforming dense experiences into spacious growth, and subtle ideas into lived, embodied realities. This knowing was forged through personal experience. It was death that gave meaning to my life, and it is this understanding that continues to guide and inform my work.
At earthðer, healing is not something that is forced or fixed but rather is something that unfolds organically when space, safety, and reverence are present. We each carry a unique medicine within us. Like herbs, some of that medicine is sweet, some bitter, some sour; but all are healing in their own way. Through awareness, presence, and intention, we learn how to work with what we carry rather than resist it. This work is an invitation to remember your own medicine and to return to balance, vitality, and wholeness.
Why my sessions differ |
| Bodywork that works at the root
My bodywork is driven by a deeply personal journey and informed by years of study in both Eastern and Western therapeutic modalities, allowing me to assess and address the physical, mental, and emotional layers of the body. This integrative approach goes beyond treating symptoms, but rather working at the root of pain, tension, and imbalance.
By understanding how mental and emotional patterns often manifest physically, I’m able to recognize recurring holding patterns and tailor each session accordingly. In addition to hands-on bodywork, I offer holistic support through custom herbal teas, tinctures, therapeutic oils, and lifestyle practices designed specifically for your needs.
This is truly holistic bodywork, supporting not only the body, but also the nervous system, the mind, and the heart to create deeper, longer-lasting relief and alignment.
Who this is for |
| Bodywork for athletes, artists + navigating stillness
This work is for those seeking more than a standard massage; this bodywork is for those who value depth, presence, and a truly personalized healing experience.
It’s ideal for athletes, skiers, and active bodies, as well as for those who are more sedentary due to work, injury, recovery, or life circumstances. Whether your body is in constant motion or craving gentle reawakening, each session is adapted to meet you where you are.
This work supports individuals experiencing chronic tension, pain, stress, burnout, or nervous system imbalance, and those navigating emotional holding patterns or periods of transition.
If you’re drawn to holistic bodywork, integrative massage therapy, and plant-based support, and you’re interested in addressing the root of imbalance, whether physically, emotionally, and/or energetically, this practice is for you.
