“Joanne brings a depth to the work of speaking and listening with clarity and understanding.  She skillfully guides people to express their feelings, needs and requests without shame or blame.  She is also a master at being able to listen to feelings and needs with empathy and helping people become more clear and accepting.  I have seen couples in conflict “melt” on the spot as she works with them and encourages them to practice authentic ways of communicating with each other.

My personal work with Joanne has been profound.  All of my relationships are better from being able to work and practice with her.  Joanne has taught me to notice how my heart shuts down and choose a more clear and conscious way to express myself.  She also models and teaches empathetic listening which works to create connection instead of conflict.  This practice is critical to creating peace in myself and the ones I love.”

“Joanne’s ability to understand and articulate what you want to say is remarkable!  Through her amazing skills she can diffuse the most volatile of situations between partners.  It is because of her that my ex-husband and I are able to be friends.”
Anne Glose, Chiropractor, Jacksonville, Oregon

 

“Joanne creates a safe and healing space, allowing me to open and connect from my heart.”
