Meet the Artist/Author
As an Artist of life, Joanna has been assisting and guiding heart-centered creatives and mission-driven leaders since 2010, with early career roots roots in philanthropy, nonprofit capacity building, and leadership development.
In 2016, she received her first of three certifications in Yoga Teaching through Tom Gilette of Eyes of the World, and became a certified professional coach through iPEC the same year- immediately putting her skills and tools into practice, sharing classes, retreats, and creativity/nature immersions.
She has also studied and trained with Coral Brown, Shri Yoga Outreach, Meridian Energetics, Dr. Sue Morter, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Matrixworks based in Boulder, CO- blending Hakomi Psychotherapy, Family Constellations, Tibetan Buddhism, and Neuroscience, and is an enthusiastic affiliate for Jonny Miller’s Nervous System Mastery Course (use code JOANNA to save on admission in the next enrollment!)
She launched her online art business on 10/10/10, selling hand painted silk scarves and artwork locally and exhibiting nationally. She has led three successful crowdfunding campaigns for inspired creative initiatives, including the self-published E M E R G E N C E Oracle Deck which she authored & illustrated. Along with tending her own creative emergence, she receives deep joy and fulfillment in supporting others in embodying a greater sense of flow and fulfillment through teaching, 1:1 coaching, and consulting.
Influenced by her deep love of Nature, 19 year yoga practice, and myriads of teachers of past and present, she is an advocate for dismantling internalized systems of oppression, and aspires to cultivate spaces and experiences where Creative Genius can safely and sustainably root, emerge, and blossom.
Joanna’s offerings are ever-evolving: centered in presence and process-driven creation. Her mission is to further encourage that which nourishes and inspires the Soul’s unfoldment, while honoring the Mystery of Creation, the greater ecology, and the unseen hands that guide her work.
“You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will forever remain obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all of your experience to the highest advantage of others. You and all humans are here for the sake of humanity.”
