Serving high-achieving professionals in Atlanta and worldwide via Zoom. Focused sessions that create lasting change, faster.
Living in Survival Mode?
You’ve built your success as a high-achieving professional by being driven, resourceful, and capable. But now, the same drive that propelled you forward is costing you clarity, health, a sound mind, and connection to yourself and others.
You might catch yourself thinking:
“I can’t turn my brain off.”
“I’m running on fumes but can’t slow down.”
“I push down the discomfort.”
“I avoid conflicts.”
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“I’m here, but I’m not really here.”
“I feel like being vulnerable is weak.”
You’re tired of:
Lying awake at night with your mind racing.
Feeling like you’re bracing for something to go wrong.
Carrying pressure in your chest and tension in your shoulders.
Second-guessing decisions you used to make with confidence.
Missing moments with the people you love because your mind is somewhere else.
You don’t want months of surface-level strategies that never get to the root. You want real change - the kind you can feel in your body, experience in your mind, witness in your relationships, and trust to last.
I work with high-achieving professionals who are ready to commit 100% to a focused, results-driven process that strengthens emotional intelligence, builds resilience, and uses hypnosis sessions to create lasting breakthroughs in both the mind and body.
In just a handful of sessions, we dissolve the root cause of the stress, burnout, overthinking, or self-doubt - so you can:
Lead, decide, and live with calm confidence.
Sleep deeply and wake up with energy.
Stay steady under pressure without burning out.
Be fully present with yourself, your family, and friends.
Reconnect with the part of you that feels alive, grounded, and clear.
This isn’t about quick tips or endless talking. It’s an interactive, immersive process that resets your nervous system, deepens self-awareness, and sparks a mind-body breakthrough that leads to a chain reaction of positive change.
If you’re ready to move fast, go deep, and make the shift you’ve been looking for - this is your turning point.

Joanna is an incredibly intuitive and compassionate therapist, particularly skilled at working with high-achieving professionals. What amazed me about Joanna is her ability to listen with her heart. She guided me through a profound process where I could safely explore my fears and hesitations. Instead of giving me direct answers, she asked powerful questions that guided me to find my own answers, making the insights feel more personal and meaningful.
Through her skillful guidance, I experienced a physical shift - the heaviness in my chest lightened as I processed my feelings. She helped me recognize that I needed to 'own my voice' and accept my past failures as feedback rather than carrying them as burdens.
Joanna created such a safe space that I naturally moved into a relaxed parasympathetic state by the end of our session. During our hypnosis sessions, she had this natural sense of timing - knowing when to challenge my thinking and when to just let me process what was happening. The way she wove together spiritual understanding with therapeutic techniques showed her versatility and depth.
I left our conversation with a clearer sense of direction and less fear about what others might think of my choices. If you're a high-achieving professional feeling stuck between who you've been and who you want to become, I can't recommend Joanna enough. She creates a judgment-free space where you can be honest about your struggles and find your way forward, facilitating a true mind-body breakthrough.

I felt like my life was consumed by anxiety and panic attacks, which started when I was very young, around 12 or 13. My first panic attack left me feeling like I was outside my body, afraid I wasn’t real. As someone who craves stability and control, I felt uneasy and helpless. After a major panic attack in college, I spiraled downward, living in constant fear of another episode. For the next decade, even the smallest hint of anxiety kept me indoors, away from friends and family. I stopped traveling—first long distances, then at night, and sometimes even to the grocery store. There were days I couldn’t leave my house because the fear was so overwhelming. I felt hopeless and frustrated that something I couldn’t see had so much control over me. Medication helped to an extent, but the more I took, the less energy I had. I didn’t want to spend every day half-awake and afraid. After hearing about the benefits of hypnosis sessions, especially for high-achieving professionals like myself, I decided to give it a shot. I saw great reviews for this practice and, despite never having met anyone who used hypnosis, I was receptive to it. Working with Joanna was an incredible experience. Right off the bat, I was comfortable enough to open up about my deepest worries. Joanna has such a calming energy, and you can tell she truly cares—she wants to help you. I felt like I was talking to a friend, and before I knew it, an hour and a half would pass. I always left our appointments feeling hopeful and like I was on the right track. I finally felt understood. As crazy as some of my fears were, I was never worried that I would be judged by Joanna. After our sessions, I feel like I’ve been reset, like I held down the power button and de-bugged my brain a little. I look at things differently now and I’m excited to live in the present. I’m looking forward to building on what I’ve started, keeping the negative away, and re-training my brain to find joy in the little things. The most important thing that helped me achieve this mind-body breakthrough was being open-minded and willing to change. To anyone putting off addressing their challenges, I’d say it’s never too late to try. If it helps you in the end, why not give it a shot?

I came to Joanna Saunders seeking a profound change—I wanted to shift my attachment style from anxious to secure and break free from my deeply ingrained people-pleasing tendencies. As a high-achieving professional, I initially thought that meant becoming more 'cut-throat' in my behavior, but what I discovered in my hypnosis sessions with Joanna was far more transformative than I had imagined.
From the very beginning, Joanna listened without judgment. She provided a space where I felt completely comfortable opening up about my history, even the parts dating back to childhood. Her ability to ask insightful questions helped me untangle my thoughts and gain clarity in a way that felt both organic and empowering. Rather than prescribing solutions, she guided me to my own realizations—helping me see things in a new, healthier light.
During each session, I felt calm and safe, genuinely looking forward to the time we spent working through my journey. Joanna's attentiveness stood out in a powerful way—she took copious notes and referenced them throughout our sessions, reinforcing the idea that everything I needed was already within me. As our work progressed, I began noticing subtle yet significant shifts in how I interpreted the actions of others, as well as my own. Overthinking became less frequent, and self-assurance started feeling natural rather than forced.
By the time I reached the final phase of my sessions, I realized that my original goal—to be secure without effort—had been achieved. My newfound confidence didn’t require constant maintenance; it simply became my natural state of being. Even my sleep improved, a testament to the deep inner peace that Joanna helped me cultivate.
I’ve shared my success with friends and wholeheartedly recommend hypnosis to anyone, especially high-achieving professionals, seeking a mind-body breakthrough and meaningful personal change. Joanna’s expertise, compassionate approach, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding hypnotherapist.

Joanna is an incredibly intuitive and attentive listener, especially for high-achieving professionals seeking personal growth. Her gentle, approachable presence made me completely at ease during our hypnosis sessions. In one session, we revisited a pivotal childhood experience that I had long associated with deep shame and a sense of failure. Although I was hesitant to explore this moment, Joanna's gentle guidance allowed me to view it from an entirely new perspective—one filled with empathy and understanding for my younger self. It was a profoundly healing experience, and as someone who usually prides myself on working through things alone, I realized I couldn't have achieved this mind-body breakthrough without Joanna's support. Whatever you're looking to work on, I highly recommend her; she's a gifted hypnotherapist and coach!

Before seeing Joanna as my health & wellness coach, I’d been working on my health for years—cleaning up my diet, incorporating Pilates and strength training, and seeing a functional medicine practitioner. While I saw improvements, my energy suddenly declined in 2023, and I felt my gut health might be impacting my overall wellness. Working with Joanna over four sessions, I realized how interconnected my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health truly are. She helped me break free from self-condemnation and guilt, encouraging me to prioritize self-love and self-care, which is essential for high-achieving professionals like myself.
Joanna has taught me to tune into my mind, body, and spirit, guiding me to focus on what brings joy rather than just meeting obligations. Her insights have allowed me to set healthy boundaries, release the fear of disappointing others, and prioritize my well-being. This shift has been noticeable, even to my husband of 20 years. I also explored hypnosis sessions with Joanna, which facilitated a remarkable mind-body breakthrough in my approach to wellness.
Working with Joanna has been a blessing. Her natural ability to catch nuances, along with her impeccable listening skills, create a comfortable, impactful coaching experience. Joanna’s support, accountability, and encouragement have been essential in helping me achieve lasting change. Her recap emails are crafted with love and empowerment, capturing the progress we make.
Since starting with Joanna, I’ve set healthy boundaries, found joy in my daily life, let go of people-pleasing, and nurtured my marriage in new ways. These past three months of coaching have truly transformed my outlook on life. I would absolutely recommend Joanna’s coaching to anyone ready to restore their physical and mental health, achieve new wellness goals, and overcome obstacles that may be holding them back.

When I first started meeting with Joanna, I was a high-achieving professional who was very new to mindfulness and the practice. Coming from a busy schedule with work and family, I found juggling it all while trying to find time to meet with clients incredibly stressful. Learning something new can often feel daunting for me. However, from the moment I met with Joanna, she made me feel comfortable and welcome. She provided a nurturing space to learn the art of mindfulness, ensuring I never felt out of place or inadequate. Joanna taught me how to settle into myself, embrace silence, and recognize where I needed to pause in my day and within the practice. Our time together allowed me to take time for myself, breathe, and notice anything that felt unsettled. I truly began to see the benefits of mindfulness in my life and appreciate its transformative power. It heightened my awareness of its importance and how it could shift my perspective each day and alter my thought process. I was eager to learn more and continue with the practice during the weeks we met.
Joanna was a knowledgeable guide for a first-time learner like me. She encouraged me to explore areas in my life that needed peace and to notice them, integrating those insights into my mindfulness practice. This journey enabled me to dig deeper into myself and become more creative in my mindfulness practices. I truly appreciate our time together and cherish the growth I have experienced through her coaching.
Additionally, Joanna would be an excellent coach for anyone, especially high-achieving professionals, looking to learn the art of mindfulness and have a supportive guide. She listens deeply and asks curious questions that facilitate emotional, spiritual, and physical growth. Her ability to provide a calming presence and create a no-judgment zone is incredibly valuable. You won't find many people who can make you feel comfortable and safe from the very first meeting. Joanna did this and consistently continued to do so each time we connected. I felt free to be myself.
Thank you, Joanna; it was a pleasure and an honor to get to know you better. I even look forward to incorporating hypnosis sessions into my practice for a mind-body breakthrough.

Before I started with Joanna in hypnotherapy, I was out of ideas as to how to jumpstart my life. As a high-achieving professional, I had been dealing with depression for quite some time and had tried everything regarding health and diet. I went to therapy to work on personal issues. On the outside, my life looked great, but I was dealing with “stuff,” much like a good majority of people.
Working with Joanna has been a life-changing experience. In our discussions, Joanna has asked me profound questions that I had never considered. She helped me pinpoint where I was holding myself back and identified areas of my life that needed my attention if I wanted to produce change and facilitate success. Additionally, through our hypnosis sessions, I experienced a significant mind-body breakthrough that transformed how I view and value myself, how I present myself to others, and more. Plus, the hypnosis sessions are incredibly relaxing!
My confidence in myself and my ability to make decisions has improved significantly. I no longer let fear prevent me from taking chances or living my life in a much more adventurous, fun way. I also feel that my nervous system is in better balance, making me a better mom, daughter, and professional. I’ve learned that I do not need to make apologies for myself or sacrifice my needs to meet others’ expectations.
I would recommend Joanna’s services to anyone who feels stuck or like they are spinning their wheels. I highly recommend Joanna’s services to anyone who doesn’t recognize the true value of who they are and what they offer to the world.

Prior to each session, you allowed me the opportunity to vent about anything occurring in my present life, which helped you understand what we should focus on for our mindfulness practice. This truly benefited me more than words can express, as it enabled me to concentrate on my emotions for that moment and move past them positively, resulting in less negative energy and more positivity. I remember one particular session where we discussed an unfortunate incident with a previous coworker that left me feeling angry and unwilling to forgive her. You conducted a powerful mindfulness practice that allowed me to imagine talking to her and forgiving her for my own peace of mind. Through this process, I was able to release my anger and embrace a sense of peace.
In another session, you guided me through an exercise where I envisioned myself as a successful high-achieving professional a few years from now. This exercise prompted me to think about my aspirations and future practice, providing a positive challenge and a welcome distraction from my daily stressors of school and work. I appreciated this immensely. You have a remarkable gift for making others feel comfortable and vulnerable, as well as for selecting the best mindfulness practices tailored not only to the moment but also for the future. I often felt your intuition about my needs during our sessions, which is another wonderful gift you offer.
I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone, especially high-achieving professionals seeking peace through mindfulness practices tailored to their unique needs. She is incredibly kind and challenges you positively to maximize the benefits of your hypnosis sessions together. Joanna effectively serves as your guide throughout your journey, helping you achieve a mind-body breakthrough. Thank you so much, Joanna. I have truly learned so much from you and felt a genuine sense of comfort during our time working together!

I am delighted to share my testimonial about my nurse coach, Joanna. Her unwavering support and dedication have been truly transformative in my life, especially as a high-achieving professional. Joanna's remarkable qualities of acceptance, understanding, and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to open up, be vulnerable, and share my goals.
Throughout our journey, Joanna's attentive listening skills made me feel heard and validated. She not only encouraged and supported me but also had an exceptional talent for asking challenging questions while ensuring I remained comfortable and at ease. This delicate balance was instrumental in my progress.
Over the course of just four weeks, I truly felt noticeable changes in my life. Thanks to Joanna's guidance, I am now more encouraged and happier than ever. I've adopted healthy habits such as staying hydrated, prioritizing sleep, maintaining a positive mindset, and exercising regularly. Together, we set realistic goals for me so that I would be able to maintain this as a lifestyle.
What truly sets Joanna apart is her dedication to understanding my unique needs, particularly my ADHD. She went the extra mile to research and comprehend my struggles, which greatly enhanced her ability to support and guide me effectively. Additionally, we even explored hypnosis sessions that facilitated my mind-body breakthrough.
Joanna's impact on my life has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am deeply grateful for her expertise, compassion, and commitment to my well-being.
If you're seeking a nurse coach who can help you achieve your goals with genuine care and understanding, Joanna is undoubtedly the one you can trust.

I wanted to share my thoughts on the coaching sessions I had with Joanna. When I first met Joanna, I could tell she has a sweet spirit and is very in tune with helping others, especially high-achieving professionals like myself. She was thorough in reviewing my medical history, genuinely wanting to understand my background. Joanna asked me what areas I wanted to improve in my life, and she really listens, providing valuable suggestions to facilitate changes I needed.
Before meeting Joanna, I had been struggling with health issues and was starting a new path in my life. I had to walk away from some toxic relationships and spend time alone to rediscover myself. Joanna helped me set personal weekly goals aimed at achieving a happier, whole life. For instance, she encouraged me to start my day with a 20-minute meditation, set three mantras to stay positive, and focus on what I want to create in my life. I would end my day with chamomile tea and restorative yoga classes a couple of times a week to help me unwind.
Additionally, Joanna provided various resources to support me in achieving my goals, such as book suggestions and online yoga sessions. My experience working with Joanna was fantastic. This was my first time collaborating with a Nurse Coach, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Joanna guided me on a journey of self-discovery for this new phase of my life, which included exploring hypnosis sessions as a method for mind-body breakthroughs. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends who are open to making changes in their lives and setting goals for a healthier, happier you.
What I appreciated most was the connection I formed with a caring, loving woman like Joanna. I believe women need each other to navigate this journey, allowing us to connect and learn from one another. I feel very blessed to have met Joanna and to have the opportunity to work with her.

Having Joanna as a coach has been indescribable. Joanna has a calming and authentic presence, exudes positivity and honesty, and she provided a comforting space for me to feel deeply supported. As a coach for high-achieving professionals, she offered insights that could only be achieved through profound listening, allowing me to feel heard far beneath the surface. I am so grateful for that. Her powerful questions led me to gain insight into myself that I needed in order to move through areas where I felt stuck. Joanna helped me in ways I didn't even know to ask for and was the gentle push I needed to keep moving forward. The tools she provided, including techniques from hypnosis sessions, will last far beyond these coaching sessions. I can honestly say that Joanna has made a positive impact on so many aspects of my life, facilitating a true mind-body breakthrough.
I have absolutely no doubt that Joanna will continue to be an invaluable coach to anyone pursuing deeper support in their lives. She is the unwavering partner anyone should seek in a nurse coach, and I would not hesitate in the least to recommend choosing Joanna as a nurse coach.
