Joanna is on the UI staff as an instructor for Developing and Deepening Your CranioSacral Presence, DDCSP. She leads local groups and teaches Full Body Presence workshops and staffing support for the Healing from the Core curriculum.

"I cherish our human potential to live lovingly with ourselves, other beings, and the planet, and offer long distance healing sessions, teach classes and facilitate individual session to that purpose. 

I am grateful to Thomas Berry, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Suzanne Scurlock, and John Upledger for their wisdom and inspiration. I'm working on a novel about generational trauma,based on my family history. Elizabeth Stout's Olive Kitterage is my gold standard for a succinct and powerful story teller.
