Life’s curve balls have forced us to learn how to navigate life’s complexities, which has led to feelings of being disconnected, overwhelmed, anxious and uncertain.
You’re not alone if you were forced to shift your focus from desires to necessities, from thriving to existing, from career climbing to care giving.
You're also not alone if you're ready to turn the corner and THRIVE!
Prior to working with me, my coaching clients found themselves answering “Yes” to the following:
✅ Are you staring down personal or professional challenges that require you to face hard truths and find real solutions?
✅ Have you created a business that no longer brings you joy and has turned into {gasp!} a “job”?!
✅ Have you ALWAYS wanted to start a business and everyone tells you it’s terrible timing and you’re better off playing it safe and keep you day job? (DON’T LISTEN TO THEM!)
✅ Are you sick and tired of living someone else’s dream and want to finally live your life on your terms?
✅ Have you spent your entire professional career in one field and now you want to change course to something with more meaning but have no idea how?
For 25 years, I’ve coached, counseled and advised hundreds of entrepreneurs to find clarity, develop the mindset, create the structures, learn the skills and up-level their tools to create a life and business that exceeds their expectations.
Now, I want to teach you how to master these same techniques in your life and business.
We all need help from time to time. It’s nearly impossible to find the solutions to what you need when you are immersed in, and focusing on, the daily challenges.
If you are ready to move from surviving to THRIVING, I have your solutions.
My coaching programs teach you how to tame your fears, turn obstacles into opportunities and strategically take on change to build a life aligned with your values, vision and purpose.
Your epic results: You will create a life that fuels your purpose, ignites your passion, feeds your soul and unleashes your vision.
📣"Joan's ability to nurture transformation is profound!"

Outside of my coaching practice, you can find me in my happy places volunteering with horses, exploring mountain trails with my pup, painting and writing.
