Joanna is a Duke University trained Certified Health and Well-Being Coach. She has over 20 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, advanced training in Pelvic Health and holds her Certification as a Menopause Doula.

As a Menopause Support Coach and Doula, Joanna walks alongside individuals facing the challenges of life's changes. She loves helping people discover what they really want the rest of their life to look like, and supports them while they make steps toward becoming their favorite version of themself. 

Menopause is something half of the population goes through, but most medical practitioners receive little-to-no training in how to help women through the challenges of menopause. Together, Joanna and her clients acknowledge and face Menopause challenges, relentlessly seeking solutions to allow them to move into the next phase of life joyfully, peacefully and feeling whole.

Let's face it. Talking about Pelvic Health is hard. Having pelvic floor dysfunction is so common that whenever people actually speak up about it, they are often told "me too" - or that it is just something that happens as we age. While yes, pelvic floor dysfunction is very common, it is NOT normal. Combining her Physical Therapy background and knowledge of the body with Wellness coaching principals, Joanna supports her clients through their pelvic health journey - offering accountability, guidance and resources for effective treatment.
