Reclaiming Center

Guided journeys to your heart

Transform what is blocking you so you feel grounded to your intuitive wisdom again

The world is a challenging place for sensitive empaths right now.

And the external noise of it all makes it that much harder to get out of survival mode and anchor back to your center…

Maybe you feel more disconnected from your body, and you can’t remember the last time you felt your breath moving freely. Perhaps it even feels like, on some level, your Soul is bracing and you know that holding your breath until the danger is gone may not work this time.

But no matter how much incense you burn or energy you move from others out of your space, it only gives you a few brief moments of relief.

So what if instead, we connect 1:1 and focus our combined intuitive gifts to help you reclaim a sense of steady center within you, so your breath can move freely, and your finely tuned sensitives can feel like a gift again…

“I am feeling more connected and grounded within myself.

I am so glad I took the opportunity to work with Joanna! She is such a joy to work with. And the insights and healings that took place have truly been transformative.”

Details

These sessions are designed to support you in tending to one manageable layer of your healing at a time by helping you listen with your heart to see what’s really going on within you through the lens of your wisest, truest self.

Who this is for: This is for you if you love the kind of intuitive work that draws you inward toward your center, and you prefer to have an active role when you receive energy work (rather than someone doing all the work for you). Practices like guided meditation, soul retrieval, and shadow work are totally your cup of tea.

About these sessions: These incredibly grounded energy work sessions will help you guide the lost, forgotten, and misplaced aspects of you back home to your center. Our work together will blend intuitive embodiment with shamanic practices (without any gross cultural appropriation) and the perfect amount of nourishing energetic boundary practices so you feel aligned and whole again.

You’ll leave feeling more centered, more attuned to your own wisdom.

Hey, I’m Joanna

In every possible way, I am wired for this work.

I have a knack for seeing the big picture and patterns, holding space for tender matters of the heart, and using my finely tuned intuitive goggles to help you gather your missing parts and call them home.

For 30 years, I’ve been supporting sensitive empaths delve into the dreamy, watery depths of the liminal spaces within to do their inner work.

And, Dear Intuitive one, I would love the chance to support you too.

I feel more at ease with myself, more loving of myself

it's a part of my awareness now, to include myself in my loving and gratitude.

I feel taller! More confident.”

We are going to get along really well if…

  • You are no stranger to using your intuition to look inward. You have your intuitive goggles at the ready to see what this current challenge has to offer your growth and healing.

  • You prefer to take an active role in your healing sessions, rather than have someone just do all the work for you. You want someone to hold the flashlight for you as you journey to reclaim your shadow parts and then help you integrate the gifts they hold for you back into daily life.

  • You have done a lifetime of personal healing and inner work, and prefer to work collaboratively with your practitioners, and skip wading through gross power-over dynamics. (I don’t do that here!)

“Joanna is an absolute treasure. I got so much from my time with her!  I was most impressed with her deep listening and intuitive skills that helped me dive deeper into understanding myself.

I’m taking away a new and treasured connection to breath, a bagful of tools to utilize when I’m struggling, a couple new spirit guides and a renewed sense of peace.”

What Reclaiming Center sessions are like

Sessions offer you the safety and guidance to step out of heady, black and white thinking and slip into the liminal spaces within the spiritual center of your heart.

There, we will work together to do the big intuitive work of compassionately untangling from energy that’s blocking you and reclaiming lost and forgotten aspects of yourself so you can feel connected with yourself again.

In these sessions, I’ll use all of my intuitive tools to guide you, including guided journeys to your heart and guided meditation and working with healing practices like energy clearing and soul retrieval, to help you rearrange your inner spaces so you feel grounded to your inner strength and aligned with your personal magic.

“I learned new ways to be more aware of my own energy, how to be more responsible with it, how to go from the mindset of protecting my energy to simply embodying it at all times.

I was able to apply what I was learning in real time, and in real-life situations as they unfolded. I’m grateful for Joanna’s guidance and knowledge during those times.”

May Integrity be at the heart of all of our interactions

Non-appropriation pledge:

Western shamanic and energy work techniques are often riddled with practices stolen from other cultures. I’ve spent years working to untangle the appropriated ceremonies and language passed to me within the training and mentorship programs that I’ve been a part of, to ensure my healing practices are offered with transparent ethical integrity.

This untangling is an ongoing process, and I am always learning. My goal is to offer sessions that are as free as possible from appropriative practices, including the language I use, the journeys I guide, and the healing practices I offer.

“Joanna skillfully and intuitively guides and supports you throughout your learning and exploring your energetic boundaries and honors your unique experience.

She creates a safe space, listens deeply, shares from her personal experiences, and asks good questions to explore and delve deeper.

She easily and intuitively is able to shift directions or hone in to what is most needed in the moment. She masterfully weaves in creativity, play, joy and laughter in this work and in the practices.
