Janel Woodland is an award-winning storyteller who is as devoted to the art of storytelling as she is to her audiences. Her expansive and diverse repertoire, which includes ancient myths, folk tales, personal narratives of her blended family, and original tall tales, allows her to craft a unique storytelling experience for a wide range of audiences.

Janel has shared her hilarious and heart-warming stories from the festival stage as well as programs for house concerts and life coaching retreats and workshops. She is the Teller in Residence at the Royal Coachman Resort in Nokomis, FL where she presents a storytelling concert monthly January through March.

A graduate of the Ohio State University, Sagefire Institute Nature-based Coach Training, and a certified Florida Master Naturalist, Janel currently calls the Gulf Coast of Florida home where she lives in a tiny house with her dog, David.

“My dream is to travel the world wherever this Calling leads me, to bring the homeopathic power of Story. From five people gathered around a campfire to a thousand listeners in a festival tent, I hope to share stories that are humorous, heart-felt, and healing.”
