About Joanna

For years, I lived between two worlds: yogi and spiritual seeker by day, wannabe rock star by night.


Music gave me magic: the way sound and words harmonize to reveal a truth that talking could never come close to. Yoga and meditation gave me peace without performance, a coming home to myself.

Along the way I toured the U.S. and Europe, released three albums and placed songs on ABC, MTV and CBS's Criminal Minds. But somewhere in chasing validation, I lost sight of the whole reason I started.

Music is healing. It is medicine. There's no way around it.

When I finally bridged my two worlds, they became the MCM Method: my blend of breath, movement, mantra and sound. It felt like finding my way back to what music had been for me all along, magic and medicine. I've shared it everywhere from one-on-one sessions and intimate circles to leading 300 people at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center alongside the Nashville Symphony.

What I live for is the liberation that comes when people hear their True Voice and begin to trust it. Whether we use the method to write your original song or to design your next chapter, it all guides you back home.
