About Me

Sundays with Joanna were a treat. I would leave feeling energized and motivated after every meeting with her. As a busy mom of two boys, one in middle school and my second one in elementary, it was difficult to be able to make time for myself. I strive to be a good and present mom with my kids. Always creating a safe environment for them and making sure their needs are met. Unfortunately, I wasn’t doing that for myself. I often felt drained and unmotivated, unable to always show up for our family. I desperately needed a change in my lifestyle because nothing that I was trying on my own was working long-term. When I started the program with Joanna I felt safe and comfortable. I liked the fact that none of it was about dieting or quit fixes. I felt heard and seen during our sessions, never felt overwhelmed as the focus was on small steps every week leading me towards my bigger goals. I would always feel encouraged and motivated by her. She understood what I needed and was spot on helping me with any challenges of the week. I learned to do things I’ve never done before that helped me grow and see myself outside my box. Now most of those changes are part of my daily routine and have become natural to me. With simple adjustments we were able to significantly reduce my anxiety, one way was reassessing my unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Since I am a Zumba instructor, originally from Peru, I needed to have an extra rush of energy because I was feeling completely exhausted and could not perform in my classes. Unfortunately, after my classes, I would feel a huge drop of energy. Joanna suggested I cut my caffeine intake and suggested healthier alternatives. Additionally, we slowly implemented some new food and movement, and my sluggishness was no more. She helped me break habits that weren’t doing me any good, mentally, and physically. So if you are ready to invest in YOU and you are ready to make changes in your life, I encourage you to let go, trust the process and contact Joanna. I highly recommend you have someone like her as your life and health coach. Thank you, Joanna, for teaching me, guiding me and helping me to get to the place where I always dreamed of which is the best version of myself.

I had the privilege of working with Joanna as my health coach during a crucial period of my life—wedding planning. The 12-week journey with Joanna turned out to be nothing short of transformative, leaving me not only physically healthier but also mentally resilient in the face of stress.
