By helping you recognize subconscious thoughts/beliefs that aren’t serving you well, you can be free to envision your future goals, and together you can create a solid plan to achieve them. Joanna’s three-step framework helps structure the process of healing the brain, mind, and heart, so you can move forward in freedom, joy, and success.

Most recently, one of her clients was able to recognize a childhood belief system that was false and had been the impetus to holding her back subconsciously from making the income she desired in her business. Once identified, and she was restored with truth, she landed two large business contracts and was absolutely thrilled beyond belief. Life transforming experiences are real and available to you.
Joanna is passionate about the mind/body connection, healing, and restoration. She is passionate about helping you obtain and exceed your goals! Along with coaching, Joanna also facilitates team workshops, retreats, and conferences. In her spare time, she loves art, being outdoors, walking in nature, boating, and most of all being with her husband and three sons.

It’s not your fault.
Our brain can get stuck in a stress response (fight/flight/freeze). It is trying to protect us from harm. Which is natural when we are in a dangerous situation. However, it’s not supposed to stay on forever. Any trauma including a surgery, accident, loss, prolonged stress can trigger the stress response.
When the brain is in the heightened state, it can send false messages to our bodies such as pain, inflammation, allergies, all types of sensitivities, irritability, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, brain fog, fatigue... Our job is to recognize it and calm it down. We have so much control over our thoughts. When we change our thoughts, our results change.
The good news is, I CAN HELP YOU! You can live a life of JOY, LIGHT, ENERGY, and FREEDOM! I have blended neuroscience/brain re-training, coaching, and Biblical principles into a THREE STEP framework for women determined to get their life and health back. If you are ready for a joyful life of vitality, success, and wellness, let’s talk.
Achieve through coaching:
Clarity.

Workshops
Unleash your creativity and lead your team to innovation and success.
Hands-on Experience.
By using your hands to learn and practice new thinking concepts, you will forge new pathways in your brain, strengthening those new thinking skills. The hands-on art exercises will help reinforce the skills visually and kinesthetically. You will learn to use different mediums such as paint, clay, glass, textures and more.
Conceptual Thinking.
Yes, you can learn to think differently! Art requires conceptual thinking skills. It is a great tool to learn new thinking concepts. Artists naturally use Whole Brain Thinking to plan and execute their work. You will leave the workshop with a new set of proven thinking tools to approach your work, life, and business.
Planning & Strategy.
Innovation requires planning and strategy. You will learn how to “create” an idea and how to “innovate” a new piece of work. You will work through the entire process from vision, planning, strategy to executing the finished product via different art exercises.
