A few words from my clients
“I decided to work with Joann in hopes of losing 20 pounds and achieving my desired body. What I I learned was that weight loss is so much more than just shedding extra pounds. It takes a commitment to yourself, good habits, and an overall lifestyle change! Joann is very sweet, patient, persistent, supportive, and made the journey so much fun. During our sessions, we would create a weekly game plan to achieve my goals. Joann would check-in on my progress in between our meetings, which showed her dedication and motivated me to stay on track. I learned so much from Joann - everything from good nutrition, consistent exercise, getting enough sleep, meditation, and reading food labels. She even helped me through personal issues that posed a risk to hindering my goal. Within 2 months, I lost the 20 pounds, and achieved so much more. I feel so energized and motivated, now more than ever! I recommend joining a program with Joann if you’re not only looking to lose weight, but also want to change your lifestyle with the help of a great motivator. Thanks again Joann, you gave me the support I needed to change my life!”
“My experience working with Joann can be described in one word - transformative. I came into this program looking for an authentic and personalized experience after having had negative experiences with health coaches and nutritionists in the past, and found this program to be a breath of fresh air. I was surprised with how easily I was able to open up to Joann and share my insecurities, none of which I felt judged for. Joann’s approach was accepting, positive, and pushed me to consider not only my physical health but my emotional and mental health as well. This is what I had been looking for in my health journey; a program that viewed me as a full person and not just a body. Joann’s guidance not only helped me gain a sense of assertiveness in with my health, but I felt an authentic warmth and kindness from her as well. When I made positive steps towards my goals, she celebrated with me, and she took the time to check in between each session to be of support as much as possible. This was the most valuable aspect of this program for me. Her support made me even more committed to my goals because I knew she truly cared and wanted me to succeed. This program is perfect for those who are looking for a more well rounded and layered approach to health that focuses on much more than just the physical aspects. Joann’s guidance helped me achieve my goals, and transformed the way I think about and implement wellness in my life.”
“From the moment we started working together, Joann created a space for me to feel safe, supported, and ready. Since then, I realized I have a gluten intolerance (huge!), I am sleeping better, I am no longer intimidated by the gym, and I am actually enjoying working out. I’ve confronted my unhealthy habits and more importantly, fostered a mindset that releases the pressure those habits had placed on my life. I knew we were going to work on my health and well-being, but I had no idea I would also benefit by having a better relationship with my partner, my work, my creativity, and the planet. So when I talk about the work Joann and I have done together, I always refer to it as transformational. Because it’s not that I’ve said goodbye to the person I was before, but with Joann’s support, I’ve brought more of him OUT. If you’re ready to really feel what it means to be empowered, work with Joann. It won’t be a fight for your wellness like so many diets and fad self-help tactics, it’ll be centered on all that makes you YOU. Thanks Joann for helping me get back to LIFE.”
“Though it might initially sound intimidating to begin something like this, one of the things that I appreciated the most about it was how gentle it was. I appreciated Joann’s patience and close attention to the details. The way she spoke made it easier for me to embrace a shift in perspective. Through this process, I learned that smaller shifts over time are what get bigger results. As a person who often tries to take on many tasks all at once, this was a huge thing to realize. Being able to relieve myself of the pressure of trying to accomplish all of my goals at the same time gave me the space to focus on fewer things so I could be more present and break the cycle of overwhelm that I often found myself in.
This program is perfect for people who are looking for ways to reduce their stress levels, be present and take more steps toward living in a balanced way. Thank you so much, Joann, for your time, energy and compassion!”
“I have had the incredible opportunity to work with Joann in various capacities, as a student of our training school, which she graduated at the highest level - 500 Hour - and as a yoga teacher for my beloved studio Shanti Yoga Shala. I have always been in awe of Joann’s discipline and understanding of yoga both on and off the mat. Joann is a wonderful and knowledgeable yoga teacher, as well as a committed yoga practitioner, always looking to improve herself and holding space for her students with compassion and ease. Consider yourself lucky if you get to work with Joann in any capacity. Love and Light.”
