What is coaching?
Coaching is an investment in you, your purpose, your vision, values and way of life. A coach is a collaborator in the embodiment of your life’s vision.
Coaching is an empowerment process where the coach uses inquiry and other tools to help you discover and clarify a vision and direction for your life. The coach then provides structure, support, accountability, inspiration and guidance for you to reach your most heart-felt goals. Knowing you are the expert for your life, a coach oftentimes provides a sounding board and guides you to strategize your actions. Coaching also creates an opportunity for powerful breakthroughs to any blocks (doubts, fears, limiting beliefs) that may keep you from living a life you love.
Why mindfulness-based coaching?
Mindfulness increases our capacity to experience life more fully in the present moment. From this perspective, mindfulness-based coaching empowers an awakened presence on our journey, allowing for deeper insights, growth and strength to emerge. Additionally, there's no point in reaching your desired vision if your aren't present to experience it!

Working with JoAnn as a life coach and mindfulness teacher has allowed me to shift some long held, self-defeating patterns.

A path towards wholeness...
...She is wonderful! During the course of this past year working with JoAnn I faced serious health challenges and at times had lost complete focus of where I was going and what I still wanted to do in this lifetime. Her coaching and teaching taught me to “pay kind attention to my life,” and in the process I learned how to grow into and accept the practice of being in my life while attempting, to the best of my ability, to live my life in the present. I am still a work in progress, but some miracles I now believe just take a little more time than others. Fortunately, I have JoAnn to gently encourage me down the path toward wholeness. ~ Anita Swanson-Speake, Author, Slow Hope: The Long Journey Home, www.anitaswanson.com |

...tools to hone my vision, identify objectives and goals...
Mindfulness coaching with JoAnn has been an expansive exercise in helping me define my vision and identify steps towards its actualization. I am in a transitional phase of my life with more time to nurture my creative and artistic interests and give back to my community. The coaching process gave me tools to hone my vision, identify objectives and goals, work with affirmations to keep it alive and present, and hold myself accountable. JoAnn's centering and visualization exercises were very powerful tools for helping me stay with my vision and keep the momentum moving forward. She has a gentle and warm style that creates a sense of comfort and trust throughout the sessions. If you are birthing a new idea or in transition and not sure how to move forward, I highly recommend coaching with JoAnn! ~ Peggy Landini, founder |
