“The increasingly negative influences upon the practice of medicine by managed care and liability insurance companies, and government regulations caused me to become disillusioned with my career choice. Joan skillfully guided me on a self-reflective journey at the completion of which, I overwhelmingly reaffirmed my career decision. I clearly understand how my strengths, talents and values are satisfied in my career. I have a better understanding of how to best use my strengths in my administrative role. I have a newfound passion for my work and am a more relaxed administrator. I cannot imagine a more competent professional with whom to associate in the area of executive coaching.” — Joseph Holman, MD, CEO, Ashley’s Women’s Center

Joan facilitates a process that allows you to gain insights, create strategies and connect the dots for yourself to become increasingly effective in your work and fulfilled in your life.

“Spa for the Soul was absolutely fabulous. The depth of the conversations, the openness, honesty, vulnerability, ‘possibilities’ were incredible and I gained so much from it all. Joan is a fabulous leader and inspiration to all of us and certainly gave me much pause to think about how I spend my day in the most purposeful way. Chené was unreal!  I told her I could listen to her forever.  Her accent, the way she spoke and her energy was magnificent.  What a team you are! What a sisterhood!” — Nancy Lynch, Participant in Spa for the Soul
