Hi, I’m Joanna, Baroness-in-chief at Elevate for Joanna.
“After working with Joanna, I completed deadlines I set on projects that I’ve been struggling to finish for years. The freedom I feel in that is tremendous. Joanna creates an absolutely magical, safe and serene environment where she conducts a spiritual orchestra. The depths of awareness that she is able to guide you to is profound and life changing.”
Sandra Battaglini, Award-winning comedian and writer
I was the girl who did everything right– aced law school, scored a prestigious appellate clerkship and fancy scholarship in barristers’ chambers in London, and then returned to a dream job in Toronto working with a legendary criminal lawyer.
Except for the legendary lawyer suddenly died three months into the job and I was forced to dig deep and figure out what I actually had to offer to the world. My ego was completely burned down to ash.
I tried everything– juice cleanses, waking up at 4 am for three hour Kundalini sadhanas, losing myself in the identity of lovers– before I learned the hard way that nobody was coming to save me and how to foster real, everyday self-sovereignty.
And then everything got better than I ever thought was possible.
I learned how to merge my practical and esoteric aspects of self. The result? A thriving career, a deep spiritual connection, and eventually real love (both the inner and partner kind).
My mastery is in guiding leaders to transmute pain into purpose and purpose into opulence through delving into the enchantment, mystery, and brilliance that lies beneath. I am a vision holder, crystallizing channel, and alchemist, helping my students to build soul empires.
I’m also a CEO of a seven-figure think tank, lawyer, and Classics nerd. I’m dedicated to creating a new paradigm of female leadership that merges the intuitive and strategic.
