Jane Gibbon (not the more common Gibbons since there is only one of her) is co-founder of TheFaraway.Com.  She is currently a Certified Quantum Biofeedback Specialist and a licensed Spiritual Health Coach.  As a former Corporate Tax Accountant for several large Corporations, she is very familiar with corporate stressors and working long hours.   

She has always loved nature, plants, and animals; is an avid recycler and composter.  She has fond memories of her childhood when she visited her Grandmother and lunch would begin with a trip to the garden to get fresh vegetables.  She grew up on 60 acres in Kansas and always had a garden that produced enough food to be canned for the winter.  She is a two time fire walker and loves to travel.
