About Joanna

For years, I lived between two worlds: chasing the validation of the music industry, and longing for what my soul actually needed.


On the outside, I was a professional songwriter, touring the U.S. and Europe, self-releasing three albums and placing songs on ABC, MTV and, most recently, CBS's Criminal Minds.

Behind the scenes, I was pouring just as much of myself into yoga, meditation and alternative healing. Eventually I realized that forcing outward success was costing me my inner peace, and my health.

So I finally stopped choosing between the two worlds and brought them together.

Today I use a lifetime of musical craft and mindfulness practice to help you quiet the mental noise, come home to yourself and hear your own True Voice again. I've guided people from intimate circles to 300 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, where I led Elevate, a movement, breath and mantra experience alongside the Nashville Symphony.

Sometimes the work happens through the MCM Method. Sometimes it becomes a Soul Song, written from your story and yours to keep forever.
