Testimonials

When I first met Joanie it was easy to be inspired by her positive attitude and generous nature, but I was soon to learn that my work was just beginning.  Joanie helped me to see myself in a different place and gave me the tools to believe in myself and focus on my gifts and recognize my passions.  Raising my children as a single parent has been my priority for many years, but with Joanie's guidance, I have begun the process of realizing my dreams to start my own business.  The powerful combination of the Fresh Start after Divorce program and Joanie's commitment to see me succeed has started me on the path of entrepreneurship and has inspired me to pursue my goals. Her enthusiasm is contagious!

~ Pauline Sullivan, client of Attorney Mark Greene

"Joanie's perception is a rare find. Within the first 15 minutes of our first coaching call, Joanie picked up on a quality that I'd never consciously realized I possessed and which nobody had ever commented on before! Getting external perspective from any coach is great.... a coach with Joanie's perception is a rare find indeed! Joanie's gentle energy and truly supportive nature is inspiring. When I was asked in a class for the names of the three people I most admired and why, Joanie's name was first on the list. The understanding and results she helps her clients gain are what I want for my clients, too, and I admire her coaching skills."
~Allison Wemyss, Canada

"Joanie is a very nurturing, empathetic coach.  She listens with a gentle intensity, and encourages with a gentle push.  She is flexible while being strong.  She asks wonderful questions, and has great models to use as examples for her coaching clients (like me) to use to move forward. Her professionalism and competence shine through in every interaction. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm are contagious and energizing."

~Colleen Schaefgen Silver Spring, MD

Reach your full potential. "Joanie is an amazing coach who can help you achieve your goals using an inside out approach that really gets results. She has a great passion for helping women through significant transitional changes in their lives, especially divorce. Her own ability to navigate those experiences with grace and agility uniquely qualifies her to help others in these areas."
~Sharon C. Wilson, CEO Coaching From Spirit

The Fresh Start after Divorce Mentoring Program has helped me to be better to my children and my community.  It all starts with feeling better about the decision that I made to move on from my marriage and into a new phase of life on my own.  Having the strength and conviction to do that is empowering and I'm sure is reflected in the things that I do and the way that I treat others.  I loved the Self Discovery Report!!!!!!! It has helped me to better understand things about myself as well as where problems can lie in dealing with others.

Overall this program has really enhanced a lot of what I "knew" but found difficult to keep up with.  By meeting with Joanie on a regular basis I was able to stay on track to move my life forward and not slip back.  A lot of my growth as a person has happened more quickly than it would have without the mentoring program and the support of Joanie.  She truly is a special person for what she is doing to empower women during and after the process of divorce.
