About Siwa Murti

Healing Modality

Siwa Murti, also referred to as Shiva Murti in the United States, is a powerful healing modality that comes from Bali, Indonesia. Its originator is Balinese high priest and master healer, Ratu Nabe.

Through the use of potent energy work, performed either hands-on or remotely, Siwa Murti can be used to address a wide spectrum of ailments and illnesses. An immediate reduction of pain is often achieved during the course of a single session. Much like the acupuncturist’s needle, this modality serves to clear energetic blocks standing in the way of health. Issues addressed can range from backaches and headaches to emotional wounds and physical injuries.

Experiencing Siwa Murti not only holds the opportunity to heal your body from pain and illness, it also holds the potential to expand your experience of what is possible. Though this modality is widely practiced in Bali as primary course of action, it is often outside what our western view considers possible.

About Janelle

Practitioner and Lead Teacher

Janelle Marra is among the first Siwa Murti practitioners and teachers in the United States. She was introduced to Siwa Murti in 2018 and joined the first group of Americans traveling to Bali to study. There she trained under the tutelage of Ratu Nabe, Master Teacher and originator of Siwa Murti, and was initiated as a Gana Usadha level practitioner. She returned to Bali in subsequent years to further her training and was given the permission and blessing to teach in 2020. She was ultimately named as one of three Lead Teachers in the US and currently facilitates foundational trainings, advanced level study and annual training intensives in Bali.

In addition to her work with Siwa Murti, Janelle is a certified Birth Doula and the co-creator of Soulsway Practice, which seeks to empower bodies through movement and meditation.

Melanie M. (Los Angeles, CA)

"My brother fell on me two years ago at his wedding (true story) — I fractured my ankle and tore my meniscus in this tumble. After spending several weeks in a medical boot, I did a year of physical therapy, as well as receiving acupuncture, e-stim, red light therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, and a cortisone shot. In the two years after the fall, I had not experienced a day without pain or swelling and still did not have full mobility in my ankle. But after TWO treatments with Janelle had FULL mobility in my ankle that I had not experienced in two years and was pain free. I literally got off of her treatment table and was able to do a full yogi squat with ease (try this pose and you’ll see what I mean about needing full ankle mobility for it). It was truly overwhelming and miraculous. I can’t explain Janelle’s magic but I can tell you that you could not feel safer or more nurtured by a healing practitioner of any kind. I cannot recommend Janelle highly enough. Go see her immediately if not sooner!"
