• Are you sick and tired of doing the same things over and over again....you know you want to change, but you have yet to figure out how...

    "Thirty minutes working with Joanne on ZOOM is like 6 months going to a therapist.” - Amanda Searle

  • You are smart and sensitive and want your healing journey to be with someone who has "been there, done that" knowing you won't be judged.

    You want someone who is experienced in life both personally and professionally.

    Someone who is smart, authentic, has integrity and a good sense of humor. Someone who is open minded and open hearted. One of those people that Mr. Rogers told us to look for: a helper.

  • You are in a time of great change, personally, professionally...maybe even both.

    You want to learn about how to understand your thoughts and feelings. You want to be able to have the ability to self-regulate. That is what Plan C is all about...

  • You are ready to take action now!

    You have been thinking about what you want to do. Some days are great and you think, I’m ok. But then the harder days come and you think, I want to figure out what to do. If you are reading this…take it as your sign to take action.

  • Breathe in and Breathe out
