About Joanna

For over twenty years, I lived in the gap between what the world applauds and what the soul actually needs.

On the outside, I was a professional songwriter, performing alongside world-class artists and the Nashville Symphony, touring Europe, releasing three albums, and placing songs on CBS's Criminal Minds. On the inside, I was quietly devoting that same time to yoga, meditation, energy work and somatic practice.

Eventually I realized that forcing outward success was costing me my inner peace. So I 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 static, come home to your body and hear your own true voice again. Sometimes that happens through the MCM Method. Sometimes it becomes a Soul Song, written from your story, professionally recorded in a world-class studio and yours to keep forever.
