As an educator and coach with over 30 years of experience, I have honed the expertise necessary to help individuals discern what they require to flourish and learn across various life domains. My forte lies in empowering women to identify their strengths, pinpoint growth opportunities, and formulate a strategy for acquiring the essential skills and knowledge needed.
My career and personal experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of how to apply these strategies effectively. I've navigated career advancements while undergoing personal challenges like divorce, learned to set healthy boundaries, and sought ways to enrich my relationships. Raising two children and overcoming significant lifestyle changes and unwanted habits have also been part of my journey.
This blend of academic, professional, and personal insights positions me uniquely to guide you from where you are to where you aspire to be. Above all, my passion for personal growth fuels my approach. The intricacies of human behaviour and psychology have captivated me since my late 20s, leading me to ask profound questions and never stop seeking answers.
I am devoted to guiding and empowering women like yourself in their personal growth and learning.

"After working with Joanne for about 10 sessions I was very pleased with the results. Her questioning allowed me to increase my self-awareness and tap into my strengths. This allowed me to clarify and reach my goals."
Marie
Joanne was such a pleasure to work with. She was eager but relaxed and during a time when we have to constantly pivot when it comes to fundraising events, Joanne was easy extremely accommodating and was able to go with the flow. Joanne’s presentation and discussion on self-love and empowerment was a significant reminder for some and stark realization for others about the importance of ‘self-care’ and offered ways to techniques to practice self-love.
