ABOUT JOANNA

I'm Joanna Barbera, an International Soul Song Facilitator, transformational guide and recording artist based in Nashville, Tennessee.

For over 25 years, I've integrated music and ancient healing practices because I've witnessed the transformative power of sound - including in my own life.

This led to Soul Song, a methodology combining movement, music, breathwork, mantra, and sacred sound. My work guides people to reclaim their power and embody deeper presence.

I've performed internationally with songs featured on national television (most recently CBS's Criminal Minds). I've led transformational experiences from the Nashville Symphony stage (450+ people, returning March 2026) to executive leadership retreats at venues like the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, to intimate Costa Rica wellness retreats.

I work with individuals seeking clarity and embodiment, corporate teams wanting authentic connection, and facilitators ready to discover their unique signature offering and stand out in their field. I also create Soul Song experiences for kids and teens - the work closest to my heart.

Whether I'm leading a private intensive, facilitating a corporate retreat, or performing with a symphony orchestra, the invitation is the same: discover the power of your voice to claim who you're becoming.
