Meet Your Hypnotherapist, Joanna

For much of my life, I searched outside myself-for acceptance, for answers, for love. I lived in fear of rejection and abandonment, always trying to be who I thought others needed me to be. I numbed the anxiety and depression with distractions, substances, and staying busy…silently battling a heaviness I didn’t yet know how to face.

Eventually, I reached a breaking point. I was no longer willing to be a bystander in my own life. I made a decision to stop playing small and take ownership of my experience. That moment sparked something in me, something I now recognize as the beginning of a deeper awakening.

I longed to feel truly alive. Not just surviving, but living with clarity, peace, and purpose. I began changing my habits, tuning into my body, and opening my mind to new ways of healing. But even with movement, mindfulness, and spiritual growth, there were still moments I could barely get out of bed. Eventually, I turned to medication, Lexapro and Xanax, to stabilize what felt unmanageable.

And for a time, they helped. Whether it was the chemical support or simply the permission to pause, I found a sense of grounding. But at a routine follow-up, I had a realization: I had once again handed my power over to something outside myself. That awareness sparked a second awakening.

With deep intention and care, I chose to titrate off the medications on my own terms (something I don’t recommend without proper support). I wasn’t rejecting modern medicine, I was reclaiming my relationship with myself. I began to trust my body again. To listen. To ask new questions.

From that point forward, my healing became sacred. I released old patterns, challenged inherited beliefs, and reconnected with my intuition. I became devoted to growth, not as a goal, but as a way of life.

That’s when I discovered the power of the subconscious mind. Hypnosis and NLP opened the door to deep, lasting transformation, not just in how I thought, but in how I felt, how I showed up, and how I related to the world. These tools didn’t “fix” me, they reminded me of the wisdom I already carried.

That’s why I do this work now. Not to give answers, but to activate the knowing within you. Not to lead, but to initiate.

Through holistic coaching and conversational hypnosis, I now guide others to return to themselves, to the part that has always known what they need. I work with those who are ready to break free from loops of overwhelm, self-doubt, and stagnation and step into a life created on purpose.

You’re not broken. You’ve just been disconnected from your own power for too long. If you’re feeling the pull to remember who you are and what you’re here for…I’d love to connect.
