My name is Janny, also known as Jam. I started this blog to stay focused on the joys in life. That’s where “Jam4Joy” comes from.
I believe joy isn’t only in big achievements but in the small choices we make every day. It lives in the food we enjoy, the way we move our bodies, the moments of creativity, the connections we nurture, and the stories we choose to tell ourselves.
My goal is to help you rediscover that spark of joy, even in the middle of ordinary chaos.
I enjoy playing the piano. Christmas carols are my favourite!
I’m a medical doctor and a seeker at heart.
I’ve seen how guilt, sugar, and stress can drain us and how creativity, mindful habits, and real food can restore peace.
Because I’ve walked this road myself, I know change is possible, and I’d love to share what I’ve learnt (and still learning) with you.
Check out the Homepage to explore my blog posts, creativity challenges and learn more about the courses and medical info I have available. I also offer online consultations.

Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.Paracelsus (e.1493-1541)
