Nice to Meet You

Hi, I'm Jo!

A little about me:

I have been a multi-business entrepreneur in the community health and wellness industry for over 15 years. As a Speaker, Published Best-Selling Author, Holistic Nutrition & Transformational Lifestyle Coach, Top 40 under 40, National Food Insecurity Advocate, and Mindful Eating Educator I am passionate about collaboratively working with you to Rejoice in the Body, Mind, & Life you desire.

Growing up in a household impacted by mental health and addictions, then suffering my health crisis due to lack of balance, fueled my multiple business ventures, fierce advocacy work in the system, and my deep desire to connect others to what they need to be well.

I empathize with how hard it can feel trying to juggle it all and find time to care for yourself. As a result of my perfectionist “go-go” work ethic, trying to be the mom that could “do all the things”, and simply not slowing down to make my own well-being a priority resulted in my body pulling the emergency stop break on me.

My body communicated it had enough of my lifestyle in the forms of multiple gut issues, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and burnout. I wish I knew then, what I know now. I want you to Regain Balance, Reclaim Health, & Rejoice in the ‘healthy’ & happy life you are so deserving of.

Kind Words

Thank you so much Joanna. I have learned so much. Your support is non-judgement, sincere, creative, and you are so knowledgeable. I appreciate all that you do. I know how to take care of my body, love it, nourish it, and live my best life now".

"The Best part about the program was Jo! Every question, accommodation, and need was met with a personalized and sensitive response. It was so great that I signed up for another program as soon as my program finished"

"What really impressed me about Joanna’s approach, was her attention to my lifestyle & designing a program that I could easily implement. I just had a baby, so I wasn’t going to be able to spend a lot of time in the kitchen making elaborate meals. Her questions were very in depth, she took the time to understand the things that were important to me, where I wanted to improve and prepared an individualized plan for me that was responsive to my lifestyle and the types of foods and ingredients that I had access to"

"Joanna is a very warm and caring woman and that came through in the interview process. Many of the questions are quite detailed and personal. Joanna made it easy to answer and I always felt comfortable sharing as I knew she would respect my privacy. Joanna combines that nurturing attitude with strong technical knowledge to give you a very positive experience and a plan I can rely on to be right for me as an individual."

"I can't recommend Jo Enough. She's so knowledgeable and is fun to work with. she helped create a plan for me that fuelled my workouts and gave me the energy I need to get through the work day. The recipes are packed with flavour. I still eat my chocolate and peanut butter almost everyday so that's a huge plus for me"

"Joanna is AMAZING!!! finally a plan I can stick too and feed my entire family. On my second round of the program and it’s been so fantastic. Love learning the science behind our bodies and the food we put in it!!"
