Overcome your past and embrace your rebirth. Become the leader you were meant to be.
Hi, I’m Joanna.
I believe: true leadership begins with inner alignment. With training in Enneagram, coaching, and now energy work — I bring a holistic toolkit that meets modern leaders where they are: overwhelmed, stretched, seeking purpose.
My path:
Two decades in high-demand corporate media leadership
A deep awakening to human energy, nervous-system awareness, and the hidden cost of constant drive
Formal certification in Enneagram, coaching, Reiki, and Sound Healing
My mission: to hold space for you — to guide you from depletion to embodied presence; from performance-driven to value-centered; from fragmented to whole.
I’m committed to authenticity, clarity, grounded transformation — and to helping you lead with integrity, power, and heart.

Some Fun things about me
I am a “Challenger”
Yes, it’s true. I’m an Enneagram 8 (we get a bad rap)…don’t be scared or trust the stereotypes. I’ve done a done a TON of personal growth work. I’m nice (you’ll see) and funny and spend a lot of time consciously accessing the healthy aspects of 2 and I’ve learned how to slow down by consciously accessing the arrow line to 5.
The enneagram has changed my life in more ways than one
I’ve been working with the Enneagram for over 15 years as a powerful tool in my own personal growth journey. I found Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy from an Enneagram Coach, started listening to their podcast, took a few classes, and voila – It’s a new career!
I thought I was an enneagram type 3 for over 10 years
Before I knew I was an 8 with the Instinctual Sequence (SX|SO|SP), I lived my life as a 3 when I was part of a study group that followed a less nuanced Enneagram Theory than the CP Enneagram Academy. I never really felt like the 3 label fit my inner motivations, so it’s been fun over the past 3 ½ years to work as an 8.
I’m fluent in german
I was born in Germany to an active-duty U.S. Air Force officer. The story goes that my mother could understand German and our German landlady could understand English, but neither of them learned to speak the other's language. So, as the youngest of three children, while my sisters were at school, my mother and the landlady would visit with one another. As a result, I was raised bilingual and I kept studying German – ending up with a second undergrad degree!
my self-preservation repressed instinct shows up in goofy ways
I almost always have breath mints in my purse….but very, very, very rarely do have a pen to write or take notes. Look out if we meet in person, I will steal a pen from you! If you ever see me power through a busy day with a bank or hotel pen, just know my Self Preservation instinct took a backseat once again!
I’m a low-key cat lady
I was VERY allergic to cats before I met my husband (a cat lover). Crazy set of events, his cat became my cat and ended up sleeping with me and preferring me to him. I call it Love Magic because I fell in love with the animal, which is also a very 8 thing to do. 😊
