Do you wake up already drained—hitting snooze, scrolling, and wondering why you feel so disconnected? The drive for life has faded, and every day feels like Groundhog Day—stuck in the same loop, just going through the motions instead of feeling alive and in control. Your mind won’t stop spinning, replaying every decision, every scenario, yet nothing changes.

You’re stuck.

You feel distant from the people you love. Texts go unanswered. Plans get canceled. You wonder if you’re too much or not enough. Productivity keeps you afloat, but it’s just survival mode—checking boxes instead of truly living. Even the things you want to do keep getting pushed aside.

You tell yourself you’re ready for change, but something unseen holds you back.

That’s where I come in.

I help high-achieving individuals break free from overwhelm and stagnation so they can get back in the driver’s seat of their life.

Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, rewire subconscious patterns, and get you on the right track to take action, thrive, and create a life of clarity, confidence, and momentum.

Welcome! You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Hi, I’m Joanna Saunders, a Hypnotherapist and Holistic Nurse. My mission is to ignite transformation—helping you break free from what’s holding you back so you can step into your power and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2011, with extensive experience in high-pressure environments such as the Emergency Room and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. These roles gave me a deep understanding of the body’s response to stress, trauma, and recovery, revealing the powerful connection between mind and body. I’ve seen firsthand how beliefs and emotional states can either support health or contribute to ‘dis-ease’—a lesson shaped by both my patients' journeys and my own.

Since 2018, I’ve had the honor to be a nurse at an integrative medical practice in Alpharetta, Georgia, where my passion for alternative medicine and holistic healing has flourished. My personal healing journey, supported by coaches, teachers, and mentors, showed me the transformative power of aligning Mind, Body, and Spirit.

As a Holistic Wellness Coach trained through the Nurse Coach Collective, I’ve developed a whole-person approach to wellness. This path led me to the field of hypnosis, where I trained as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist under Sean Wheeler at Pure Hypnosis in Atlanta and became a Licensed Specialist in Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning through Dr. Richard Bandler, co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

A lifelong learner, I am committed to staying at the forefront of techniques and technologies to bring effective, efficient results to every client. Today, I blend my professional expertise, personal experiences, and a touch of lightheartedness to help individuals harness the power of their subconscious mind, shifting limiting beliefs to create balance, health, and lasting well-being.

Philosophy: Awareness, Connection, & Empowerment

At the core of my approach to holistic coaching and hypnotherapy is the ACE philosophy—Awareness, Connection, and Empowerment—a guiding framework for achieving lasting transformation and wholeness.

Awareness: True healing begins with self-awareness. By exploring your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, you gain insight into how they shape your health and experiences. Becoming aware of limiting beliefs, past conditioning, and subconscious patterns creates space for new possibilities and genuine healing.

Connection: Healing extends beyond self-awareness to building a strong connection between Mind (conscious and unconscious), Body, and Spirit. I guide you in nurturing this connection, helping you trust your body’s wisdom, discover your resources, and align your inner and outer worlds.

Empowerment: With awareness and connection comes empowerment—the ability to take charge of your health and life. Through hypnosis and holistic coaching, I help you rewrite limiting beliefs, release emotional blockages, and equip you with tools to tap into the power of your subconscious mind.

I'm thrilled to share my transformative experience with Joanna, an exceptional hypnosis expert. The time we spend together during our sessions is truly invaluable, and the recordings I receive afterwards reinforce the positive changes in my life.

Our focused, personalized sessions have led to remarkable outcomes. After just a month of working with Joanna, I lost 15 pounds. Her ability to tailor our time together to my specific health goals made the process feel natural and achievable.

The leadership-focused sessions also had a profound impact on my professional life. Just two weeks after our work together, I received a promotion!

What sets Joanna apart is her dedication during our sessions. She listens attentively, adjusts her approach based on my feedback, and ensures our time together is perfectly aligned with my needs.

The effectiveness of our hypnosis sessions has been incredible, and I can't recommend the experience highly enough for anyone seeking positive change.

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.

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.

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 very new to mindfulness and the practice. I was coming from a very busy schedule with work and family. Juggling it all and trying to find time to meet with clients was stressful. Learning something new can be stressful for me and daunting. From the first time I met with Joanna, she made me feel comfortable and welcome. She allowed me space to learn the art of mindfulness and I never felt out of place or lacking. Joanna taught me how to settle into myself, be okay in silence, and feel where I needed to pause in my day and in the practice. Our time together allowed me to take time for myself and breathe and notice anything that was unsettled. I really got to see the benefit of mindfulness in my life and appreciate it. It has made me more aware of the importance of it and how it can change my perspective for the day and change my thought process. I was excited to learn more and continue with the practice over the weeks we met.

Joanna was a knowledgeable guide for a first-time learner. She encouraged me to explore areas in my life that needed peace and notice them, then to use that and put them into my practice. I was able to dig deeper into myself and become more creative in my mindfulness practices. I have appreciated our time together and cherish the growth that I have had because of her coaching.

Joanna would be a great coach for anyone looking to learn the art of mindfulness and have a supportive guide. She is able to listen deeply and ask curious questions that only help in your growth emotionally, spiritually and physically. Her ability to provide a calming presence and no judgment zone is a treasure and so valuable. You won't find many people that can make you feel comfortable and safe on the first meeting. Joanna did this and continued to do so each time we met. I felt free to be myself.

Thank you, it was a pleasure and honor to get to know you better.

Before I started with Joanna in hypnotherapy, I was out of ideas as to how to jumpstart my life. I had been dealing with depression for quite a bit of time. I had tried everything when it came to health/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 life changing. In our discussions, Joanna has asked me such profound questions that I had never asked myself. She helped me pinpoint where I was holding myself back. She identified areas of my life that needed my attention if I wanted to produce change and facilitate success. Also, through our hypnotherapy sessions, she enabled significant change in my life, in terms of how I view and value myself, in terms of how I present myself to others, and more. Plus, the hypnotherapy sessions are very relaxing!

My confidence in myself and my confidence in my ability to make decisions have improved significantly. I am now not letting fear prevent me from taking chances or simply living my life in a much more adventurous, fun way. I also feel like my nervous system is in better balance, and that makes me a better mom, daughter, and professional. I’ve learned that I do not need to make apologies for myself. I do not need to sacrifice or make myself smaller to meet others’ needs or to make others feel better.

I would recommend Joanna’s services to anyone who feels stuck or like they are spinning their wheels. I would recommend Joanna’s services to anyone I feel 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 to you about anything occurring in my present life so you knew what

we should focus on for our mindfulness practice. This truly helped me more than words can

express as it allowed me to focus on my emotions for that present moment and be able to move

past that in a positive way so I was left feeling less negative energy and with more positivity. I

remember one particular session we discussed an unfortunate incident I had with a previous

coworker, and it was really bothering me to the point where I was feeling angry and not wanting

to forgive her. You were able to conduct such a powerful mindfulness practice where I imagined

I was talking to her and forgave her for my own peace of mind, and as we did this practice

together I was able to release all this anger I felt and was ready to feel more at peace.

You also led another session where you allowed me the opportunity to imagine myself

successful a few years from now and I was able to think about things I would like

for myself and future practice. This gave me so much to think about and challenged me in a

positive way. It was also a nice distraction from my current daily stressors of school and work. I

appreciated this very much. You truly have a gift of allowing others to feel they can be

vulnerable with you and choosing the best mindfulness practice to help them for not only that

moment, but the future as well. There were times when we worked together I also felt you had great intuition about my needs, and that is also a wonderful gift you have to offer.

I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone who is seeking peace and mindfulness practices tailored to their needs. She is very kind and challenges you in a positive way to get the most out of your sessions together.

Joanna effectively serves as your guide and is there to help you throughout your journey. Thank you so much Joanna, and I have truly learned so much from you, and I also felt a 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. 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.

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 with the coaching sessions that I had with Joanna. When first meeting Joanna, I could tell that she has a sweet spirit and is very in tune with helping other people. She was very thorough in going over my medical history, wanting to get to know me and my background. She asked me what I wanted to improve on in my life. She really listens and helps give suggestions to make changes in my life.

Before meeting Joanna, I had been struggling with some health issues and was on the beginning of a new path in my life. I had to walk away from some toxic relationships and to walk alone for now to really find myself again. Joanna helped me set some personal weekly goals to work towards having a happier whole life. Examples of them are starting my day doing a 20-minute meditation, setting 3 mantras to help me stay positive and to focus on what I want to create in my life. I would finish my day drinking chamomile tea and doing a restorative yoga class a couple times a week in the evenings to help me wind down.

Joanna also gave me some resources to use while achieving my goals. Some examples of that are book suggestions and online yoga sessions.

My experience working with Joanna was great. This was the first time I worked with a Nurse Coach. I didn't really know what to expect. Joanna helped start me on a journey of self-discovery for this new phase of my life. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends who are open to making changes in their lives and setting goals to find a healthier happier you.

The thing I liked most was being able to connect with a caring loving woman like Joanna. I feel like woman need woman to walk this journey with. To be able to connect and learn from each other. I feel very blessed to have met Joanna and 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. She provided insight that could only be achieved through profound listening, and as a result, I felt heard far beneath the surface. I am so grateful for that. Her questions were powerful and 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 know to even ask for and was the gentle push I needed to keep moving forward. The tools she gave me 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.

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.

Working with Joanna was a wonderful experience. She is a natural coach. During our sessions she made me feel empowered in my thoughts and comfortable with my feelings. She allowed me the freedom and space to just be me. Joanna provided a safe and non-judgmental environment, all while challenging me to go deeper. She helped me to explore areas that I had not previously explored and see things that I was too afraid to see. I would recommend Joanna to anyone that is in need of a genuine, positive kind, caring, and real coach that has the gift to help you believe and you again.
