I was diagnosed with liver failure and was expecting the worst. I found Joanna and made an appointment. After a few sessions I was feeling a little better. Its been a few months now and my liver healed itself. Thanks Joanna.

I am so beyond glad that I found Joanna! I have struggled with anxiety my whole life since childhood. I also have dealt with PTSD for almost the same amount of time. Then agoraphobia hit in the late 90s. And it has been at its worst since late 2011, I cannot go far from home without having panic attacks. It's debilitating, and is preventing me from doing so many things and going to so many places. I had my session with Joanna yesterday to try and bring up whatever memory I had buried deep down inside to cause my agoraphobia. I have been in therapy for over two decades and doing EMDR for the past couple of years and healed from other childhood trauma. But the agoraphobia was still an issue. I wanted to take back to my therapist what came up in my session with Joanna so that we can work through it in EMDR. During my session with Joanna I had three memories come through that I totally forgot about and made sense on why I could have the issues I have. I am still processing everything, but I have such a weird calmness when I was driving around. I look forward to listening to my recording that she made for me to listen to and do my own work at home. I highly recommend her. I am really hoping that this will be the start of me finally being able to beat my agoraphobia. I am also considering taking her Qigong classes. Joanna has such a soothing voice and is very empathetic & sympathetic and made it easy for me to trust her. Trust does not come easy for me either. Thanks again Joanna, the world needs more caring people like you in it.

First and foremost, I want to start by saying THANK YOU JOANNA. I have struggled with anxiety for years, as most of us do. As I got older, the repercussions of the anxiety have truly become debilitating and crippling. I have been in therapy/ counseling for years learning coping skills, treatments, and new ways to approach the issue. I have spent hours trying to uncover the underlying issue and cause of the anxiety and panic attacks only to come up empty handed. At this point in my life, I was willing to try anything. I did very little research on hypnosis, which is extremely unlike me. I spoke with a handful of different people, and Joanna was the only person who truly made me feel like she CARED. During our initial call she asked so many questions, took notes, and was truly interested in my plea for help. She spent a significant amount of time with me before scheduling and setting up our first in person meeting. I felt safe telling her personal information and truly felt like she wanted to help. During our first meeting we spent 3 hours discussing my past, the issues I was having, how the panic attack and anxiety affect me, and what I wanted as an outcome. We finished it off with a reiki energy healing session. I was scheduled a week late for the hypnosis. As nervous as I was, I was also super excited to finally get to the underlying issue. Without going into personal details, a memory was uncovered and addressed. A month after the session and I am writing this review to share my story. I can truly and honestly say my anxiety has been lowered a significant amount-- which is truly incredible. It definitely isn’t gone, but being a realist, I know that will never be the case. What I CAN say is that it is no longer crippling. I can finally enjoy large events, or exiting times in my life without suffering terribly with a constant battle within myself. It is finally manageable. I am forever grateful for Joanna and her professionalism. I am grateful for her help and am so happy that I chose to allow her to help me in the journey. If you are reading this review with question as to whether or not you should call her, the answer is YES. If you are willing and open to help, she is there to guide you!

I had the pleasure of experiencing Joanna's Autumn Renewal Retreat. The entire experience was wonderful . Joanna is kind, loving, gentle, accepting. As a participant, I was able to relax and receive . There was a lovely guided meditation, ChiGong experience and sound healing which Joanne provided with her singing bowls. We were treated to snacks. There was time for comraderie and sharing, though no one was pressured to share. I highly recommend Joanne as a guide and healer. I am looking forward to my next visit to Hearts Desire Hypnosis .
