About Joann...

Hi, I'm Joann. My personal mission is to live life fearlessly and authentically, from a place of abundance and gratitude, and to help you do the same.  

For most of my life, I was afraid to use my voice and speak my truth. I spent decades living a fear-based life and battling a perilously low self-esteem and a disordered relationship with food and exercise. Of course, excess weight is never solely about pounds. Until I was whole, being overweight served as a cloak of invisibility and protected me. At the same time, it also imprisoned me.  

I tried and quit every diet imaginable. But, time and time again, I failed to reach my goals, convincing myself the diet was to blame. But, the reality is they all worked. I've lost and regained hundreds of pounds throughout my life to prove it. 

Physical weight suffocated my spirit, while the repeated failures took a toll on my heart and soul. Yet, the formula seemed simple, eat less and exercise more. So why didn't I have the willpower to succeed?

I realized losing weight wasn't simply about willpower. The tried-and-true weight loss formula was missing a component. Successful weight loss isn't only about nutrition and movement. It requires mastering three areas of your life ~ diet, exercise, and mindset. 

Once I understood the formula, I was able to lose 100 pounds. For the first time in my life, I felt freedom. The weight didn't define who I am. 

Now my passion is to help others find the path to their authentic selves. I don't want anyone to squander decades trapped in a body and life that doesn't serve them. 

I knew what worked for me but didn't know how to share it with others. So, I began researching and studying the best ways to help you achieve your goals. To do so, I became a certified Health, Life, and Success Coach, Board Certified Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner, and Clinical Hypnotherapist.
