"Joanna is amazing! She created a very safe place for me to bring real issues to the agenda. Her ability to listen and ask powerful questions made the experience beneficial and moving. She allowed me to explore situations in a safe environment. Her presence allowed me to bring my authentic self to the relationship. Joanna is a master at opening your mind to different perspectives. Through her coaching techniques, I learned to explore situations from various perspectives and thereby identify greater awareness of possibilities. I looked forward to each session, knowing the time was well spent and discovery and movement would result."
Theresa Wilson
   Executive Director,  Nashville Fellows Program

“Joanna led our group in a couple activities related to the MBTI, and her communication style and knowledge of the assessment made our time with her extremely productive and thoroughly enjoyable. My students were gushing about the experience afterwards, mentioning how much they enjoyed their interaction with Joanna and how much they had learned to appreciate each other's personality differences. I would highly recommend Joanna to any individuals or organizations wanting to develop a healthy working team.”
Leighanne Buchanan
  Business Owner

"Joanna's coaching helped me to focus my energy in a productive way to grow my business and retain clients. Each session ended with goals for the week that had an immediate fruitful impact on me personally and professionally. I continue to see positive growth all around. Each minute with Joanna was time well spent."
Thom Huntington
   Business Owner

Joanna had an wonderfully inviting style of unassuming peaceful confidence which lead you into feeling comfortable being vulnerable and open. Joanna listened really well and was great in helping me become of aware of the simple and sensible things that I was overlooking while getting caught up in the vortex. I really enjoyed the way Joanna coached and was helped by her coaching. In addition, I learned a few ways that I can help my coaching clients. Joanna is able to create an environment of comfort and trust in an approachable and easy way. She helped me draw out goals and plans that were only a mishmash of a rough idea and got me to identify what was really important and why so I could start start building a plan in a structured, achievable way. Thanks Joanna!
