“Jo helped me to become unstuck in a period of my life where I could see limiting beliefs creeping in and taking over my day-to-day activities.  Her approach was gentle and completely non-judgmental which created an openness for me to want to share my experiences and beliefs with her.  She has given me the tools to overcome the negative thoughts that might to try to creep back into my life and I believe she has a real gift to help others.  A supportive and kind ray of sunshine that you should definitely get in touch with!”

“The sessions with Jo were THE highlight of my weeks. Even on days that I felt like curling up and crying, she made me feel heard, validated and worked with me from where I was. EVERY session I left feeling positive and like I was bigger and braver than I was an hour ago. I have a new understanding of myself that I've never known about. Coming from someone who has been reading about self-development for over 20yrs, that says a lot about her skills as a coach. 

As a result, I can now do the things I used to only think about but was too scared to do (and had no idea why). Jo has taught me some principles that I've adopted that helps me understand the world/people (including me) a lot better than before, now allowing me to work WITH my internal/external world, not against it. 

I got from A to B on my own, but I needed Jo's help to get from B to C because the same things that got me to B wouldn’t get me to C.

I still did the work, but Jo gave me a springboard and the courage to jump off it. 

I highly recommend Jo as your coach. She's wonderful! ”

“Jo has been an absolute cheerleader, guide and supporter of the life I’m trying to create for myself. She goes out of her way to check in constantly and I would recommend her to anyone as a Life Coach. She has taught me valuable lessons, allowed me to be vulnerable and mostly kept me on track with my life goals.”

“I came to Joanna for assistance in transitioning from a full time office job to a freelancing lifestyle. Having worked in corporate for 20 + years, it was a very big change. Joanna came up with practical, sensible, realistically achievable strategies. They assisted me to enjoy the flexibility and the freedom of branching out on my own to achieve my HAGS (Happy Audacious Goals).

In terms of support, I really liked how she started big picture - holistically considering my core values, which we then used to ensure my HAGs were aligned and mapped across to create a structure for my typical day. We also brainstormed potential solutions - this was helpful for me to ensure the pros and cons of each one. Joanna would regularly check in politely and unobtrusively - to see how my implementation was coming along. Whenever there were any setbacks, we promptly discussed and worked out new solutions.

Joanna’s style of coaching is warm and approachable with respectful, thoughtful listening. Her approach was flexible varying from holistic big picture to the minute details, depending on what each situation required.

Everyone’s life is a perpetual work in progress. I have found it beneficial and rewarding to share with Joanna this journey of growth to blossom and prosper.

Thank you for the positive encouragement and support Joanna!

I am delighted to recommend Empowered One’s Coaching services.”
