Hi Love, I’m Joanna

I’m a trauma-informed coach, intuitive artist, and somatic healing guide for women who are done just surviving—and ready to rise.

But I don’t just teach healing.
I lived it.

For 22 years, I was trapped in an abusive marriage—emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually controlled. As a pastor’s daughter raised in a strict evangelical home, I was taught to obey and stay silent. And I did… until the night I escaped with my kids in 2016.

That was the beginning of my healing. But it wasn’t the end of the pain.

Post-separation abuse, deep grief, and nervous system collapse followed. I tried talk therapy, chased stability, and even applied to grad school for therapy—but what truly helped me come back to life was somatic healing, breathwork, and art.

I let my rage move through my body.
I let my grief pour onto the canvas.
And slowly, I came home to myself.

Now, I help women do the same.

✨ WHAT I OFFER

Now, I guide women through somatic movement, breathwork, intuitive art, and nervous system healing to help them:

  • Reclaim their voice, body, and inner wisdom

  • Feel safe—physically, emotionally, and spiritually

  • Release survival patterns and embody wholeness

  • Build self-trust and reconnect to their feminine power

You don’t need to be “fixed.”
You need a space to be witnessed, held, and reminded of your strength.

✨ We rise together.

🎨 PAINT FROM YOUR SOUL™

After a traumatic brain injury in 2023, I was forced to slow down—and in that stillness, I found my way back to art. Painting became one of the only things my body and brain could engage with, and through it, I rediscovered joy, expression, and deep emotional release.

During that time, I discovered Paint From Your Soul™, and it lit something up inside me. It felt like home—a soulful blend of creativity, healing, and intuition that spoke directly to my heart.

Now, as a certified Paint From Your Soul™ facilitator, I guide women through this transformational art journey. These retreats blend archetypal wisdom, intuitive expression, and the spiritual side of art-making.

It’s not an art class—it’s a reclamation of your truth, your emotions, your voice.
A return to the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen.
