What Clients Say

“Joa helped me make a major life transition that was scary to do, but has turned out to be a very important step and a big success.” — Michael Stattel, Counselor

“Joa’s coaching helped me ground my true purpose and achieve goals that I never before dreamed possible.” — Sue Simone, Entrepreneur, L. A., California

Before my session with Joa I felt really stuck, blocked, disempowered and low energy. Joa created a safe space for me to bring all of myself in.

Through his intuitive reading we uncovered my blocks and I received guidance around questions I had. Throughout the session I continued to release and open and especially the breath work helped me to reconnect with my true self, remembering who I really am.  After the session I felt open, empowered and free, leaving the space floating and smiling. I recommend this work for anybody who feels stuck, disconnected from their purpose, and anybody who needs a shift and/or boost in their life. Thank you so much Joa for helping me bring all of myself back.

“Joa is just what I needed (probably a year ago!). I am a participant in his Mastermind group, and we have a diverse group. Each of us is looking for change in completely different areas of our lives,
and we are very different individuals. Joa has brought us together and facilitated growth within each of us, so much, that we all agreed unanimously and without hesitation to continue for a second session with him! His insight is amazing. And, he has a way of bringing a level of professionalism and focus when dealing with our group as we move through sometimes emotional and positive changes. I highly recommend Joa if positive growth is your agenda!”   —Rene Jett (Portland, OR)

“Joa has a way of getting to the root of the issue at hand. He is very helpful with suggestions that are both intuitive and practical. His guidance is invaluable for those at a crossroads.”—Maria Conforti (NYC)

“The processes Joa will teach you are highly effective. They really work!! I was highly optimistic going into the mastermind experience, but the group work was far more effective than I anticipated. Joa’s perspective and insight was extremely valuable to me; working with him as the facilitator of a group with other people who are moving toward living their dreams impacted my life quickly and deeply. This is truly trailblazing work, and my life is so much better because of this mastermind group. This group experience will give you the pragmatic tools you need to change your life and live your dreams.”   – Ken Curtis (Raleigh, NC)

“I have worked with Joa for almost one year.  With his guidance I have been able to overcome many of the most deeply painful issues of my life.  This ranged from childhood experiences to difficult relationships and memories of hurt and heartbreak I’ve had in my adult life.  I have made many major breakthroughs this past year in large part due to Joa’s support and loving presence.  I am very grateful for his integrity and open-mindedness, which has allowed me to be vulnerable as we explore my beliefs together.  He has helped me to forgive myself and to drop a lot of emotional baggage that I was only vaguely aware I was carrying.  It is always clear to me that he cares deeply about my emotional and spiritual well-being and that he always approaches his work with love.  In addition I can count on him to advocate the high road whenever I feel like blaming or acting the victim.  As my life coach he takes a very holistic approach to all areas of my life and I feel that I can talk to him about all aspects of life from my personal relationships to my career concerns.  In spite of being highly intuitive and spiritually focused, he is also very down-to-earth and effective at developing action plans for me to take away with me every week.  I look forward to our weekly sessions, which is also a space for me to come home to myself.  In addition he is totally dedicated to being there for me in between our sessions, which I have come to very much appreciate and relied on during some tough moments this year.  I am very fortunate to have Joa as my coach and for me the journey has been much warmer and more loving because of him.

“Joa is amazingly perceptive. To be in his ‘presence’ is an experience of upliftment and affirmation.” — Karin Kinsey, Author of Dancing on Water

“Joa’s insight has often challenged me, but he continually encourages me to reach higher. And through it all he has communicated with honesty, kindness
and compassion.” — Dawn Green, Executive & Yoga Instructor

“I found Joa’s methods uplifting, insightful, and keenly accurate. Joa works from his heart, first and foremost, which I believe is the basic foundation of anything quality. His love of what he does and the clients he works with, is profoundly evident and preciously rare.”

— Jill Sayre, Writer

I am writing this a month after meeting Joa for only a one-hour session in March of 2011. At the time, I felt overwhelmed about my lack of finances and energetically drained by my partnership.

I came to Joa with previous experience in spiritual awareness,  detachment, manifestation – but deep-rooted imprinted patterns and messages still lingered like unwanted phantoms – limiting me.

Joa was really adept at recognizing, I felt, my true essence – seeing into me and without fear, reaching in to guide me – unshakably and inspired confidence to follow. And to allow myself to hold firm in new beliefs. His eyes lit up with wisdom and he truly is very gifted and this is his true calling. Without a doubt. I am not easily impressed, and I was. He is the real deal. Solid through and through. I need to believe in someone to help me. He delivered. I have seen many energetic healers and been very spiritual from a young age. However, I am still a healthy skeptic. Joa was phenomenal in his delivery, approach, and his knowledge. He is a gifted healer. And able to bring good to the world by helping people embrace their full potential.

I have been able to manifest but in survival mode. I am now choosing to have “a surplus in my finances!”.

I left with a definite shift in my energy. It was very profound. Like a cleansing of residue from imprinted beliefs, messages, and patterns I constructed, as we all are susceptible to – with that as our individual and unique but similar journey: to shed and overcome our subconscious feeds/programming. And these are powerfully rooted and lingered within me, despite years of counseling, mantras, meditation, clearings, awareness, and an ability to otherwise manifest on a quick, effective level – just not at the level I should be…

This is an update to describe the manifestations up to the current time, with more forthcoming, so a later update will be provided into the future; however, five days after my session, I had two opportunities to approach me about work not tied to an hourly wage, lacking the limitation of set hours, place, time. These were what I needed – without placing such requirements upon anything that presented, these aligned with what would create the most ability, security, opportunity and “surplus” – a lack of want.

Other areas of my life are positively shifting too. Things are unfolding very positively. I feel secure, strong – less fearful.

Everything is still shifting. And it feels very positive. I feel safe, secure and confident – something I have lacked for some time in feeling – which functioned to limit my ability.

Joa is a good soul and a gifted healer. I am certain anyone could be touched for the better in giving/allowing yourself this gift.

Joa,

Thank you for your all of your wisdom and your support.  Our work together has provided a strong source of motivation.  Your ENTHUSIASM and sincere heart were precious to me and I very much liked your gentle yet assertive style in how you guided me to be accountable to myself :).  One of the things that I think I will remember the most about our work is your reminders to be true to myself…to my heart and you offered me tools for how to get re-connected, when I’ve let it go.  This is so important because when I do that…. answers and awareness are RIGHT there.  I will miss our calls greatly!

Wishing WONDERFUL things for you!

Nicole
