TESTIMONIALS: What women are saying about Joanna & Soulful Coaching for Busy Women

"Joanna is a calm and steady force; she holds your hand as you do the most courageous things: look deeply into yourself."
—Ngina Duckett, New York, NY

"I have benefited greatly from coaching with Joanna. She is an expert organizer and helped me break down my project into attainable goals. I went in wanting to publish my writing and 6 months later, a short story of mine was chosen for an anthology by a major publishing company. Now you can find me on Amazon.com! I accomplished my goal and paved the way to work toward my even bigger goals, goals I had not even tapped into prior to Joanna's prompting. If left to my own imagination alone, my life would be a lot smaller. I'm grateful for Joanna's insight into my creative process, for now I am about to start up with her again to work on an even more adventurous endeavor. Prior to working with Joanna, I was paralyzed by the creative process. My goal seemed so vast and distant. All I could picture was my desired final outcome, but didn't know where to begin. Through integrating Joanna's fantastic organizational skills with my creative drive, I was able to set smaller goals leading up to, and eventually accomplishing my main goal. I now know that if I want to create something, the first step is to set aside time for it. Working on it once I set aside the time came easily. It was the breaking down of the process and having someone to answer to that was key in accomplishing my goal. Joanna is a wise wise woman, full of faith and meaningful skills and tools. She is encouraging, supportive and also a bit of a pain; if you think you can go into your meeting and expect to be off the hook for not meeting a goal you set for yourself, you are wrong...and that's what you pay her for. Joanna sees you at your core and will keep you on track by reflecting to you the person you yearn to be...more of yourself. My favorite thing about the coaching process is the feeling I get from accomplishing the goals I set for myself. There is no worse feeling than knowing I have something to offer, and hiding it...and there is no better feeling than sharing with others that which I have offer. Tea time with Joanna is also a blast. She is down to earth, funny, sincere, smart and wise beyond her years.

"Joanna provides warmth, encouragement, structure, and support to help me move toward what I want in life. Whether I'm expanding my business, connecting my writing and creative work to other areas of my life, dealing with a relationship, or healing emotional wounds, Joanna is incredibly helpful. Gentle but truth-filled, empowering and questioning, she helps me see the larger landscape in which my visions live. I am learning how to move beyond simply taking action—how to live fully in my heart and body, in a way that is aligned with the voice of my soul and the larger universe."
—Emmeline Chang, Brooklyn, NY

"Coaching with Joanna has helped me to stop being so hard on myself and reclaim my life. She has provided me with tools and methods to deal with personal challenges, and create a healthy work/life balance. I always leave sessions with Joanna with a good sense of self, a positive attitude and some homework/goals of the week that are realistic and keeps you in check."
—Danielle Porcaro, Queens, NY

"Joanna, meeting you is truly one of the very best things that has ever happened to me. You've been a midwife for change, birthing me into a remarkable new version of myself I never dreamed I'd be. You are a gifted coach, an inspiring mentor, and a very, very special person. Thank you so much for everything you've given me."
—Kendra Levin, Brooklyn, NY

"Through my work with Joanna, I have been able to focus, tune in to my heart and my soul and listen to it. Years of self work have taken months as Joanna guided me through intuiting the work my soul wants to do and applying myself to what needed to get done (both within and outside me) to make my dreams reality.__Working with Joanna feels like I'm sorting through my life with a magic wand in my hand, blasting through blockages that stand in my way, and bustling with renewed energy and self confidence down my life path. Nothing seems impossible...and I hear my own voice so much more clearly. I have spent literally years in therapy trying to do work that I was able to do with Joanna's immensely intuitive coaching skills in months. I recommend her enthusiastically and wholeheartedly to anyone who is willing to follow their hearts and listen to their soul. Joanna has helped me look at my blocks, my fears, and the things that hold me back, and start myself on a path to my own business doing the work that I love doing."
—Britt Pastor, New York, NY

"With immeasurable focus, skill and compassion, Joanna has supported me through some of my most decisive career challenges to date. Throughout each session, Joanna provides exceptional guidance and support, leaving me with a genuine sense of calm, confidence and purpose, and helping me to approach obstacles with grace and positivity, often in ways I never dreamed possible. I am forever grateful to have Joanna in my life."
—Michele Friedman, Los Angeles, California

"Sessions with Joanna are a very grounded and grounding without putting any limits on reaching for the stars and the sun and the moon. No matter what the topic of the day's session Joanna always keeps her eye on the bigger picture of goals I have set for myself. At the same time she is completely committed to the philosophy that my intuition is my best guide. This means that what comes up in the moment is what is most important, not only for the session but also as a step towards the bigger picture. The process that Joanna uses for helping me connect to my deepest desires and intuition and to articulate concrete goals based on these is very effective. For me the overall effect has been three-fold: 1. I have found more meaning and enthusiasm for the work that I do. 2. I am allowing myself to think bigger, dream bigger and most importantly see that I can realize this greater vision I have for myself. 3. I feel more confident because I understand better how to listen to and trust my intuition. In my work and personal life I have more more confidence in walking the sometimes difficult path of being true to my ideals. And I feel that all this has led me to be a more inspiring yoga and art teacher. Believing in myself translates directly into believing in others."
—Emma Kohn, Ecuador
