I began therapy with Joanne in late 2019 and have continued my wellness journey with her though our zoom sessions. Joanne has been integral in helping me navigate my journey into a more positive direction by dealing with all of my ghosts through the use of EMDR therapy where I was able to get to the root cause. I would highly recommend Joanne and found her approach to be very comforting and empowering.
Joanne is the best! I would not have survived without her help. She helped do some intense therapy/ healing to be able to live life. We did some somatic and EMDR therapy to rewire my nervous system and work through childhood traumas. I’ve been seeing her for 3+ years now and plan to continue to work with her. I would recommend her specially if your need to work through childhood trauma!!!
Good now. What a wonderful experience. During our first meeting, there were so many synchronicities. It made me feel like Source planned the whole experience. Joeanne is a great listener and very easy to talk to. She even gave me some tools to add my kit. I’m Looking forward to our next meeting
Joanne Davis has been incredibly helpful in my healing journey. EDMR was a useful tool in working through my childhood trauma and limiting beliefs. She truly cares, and it shows.
Joanne is an incredible therapist and a gifted healer. The work we’ve done together has helped re-wire my nervous system to move beyond repetitive triggers and feel more at home in my body. I can literally feel my brain working differently! It’s been amazing and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance. She uses progressive methods like EMDR and sensorimotor to bypass the stories and gently release the core traumatic events of the wounded / adaptive child responses. It’s incredible. If you’re ready to go beyond talk therapy and transform your life, I cannot recommend her highly enough. With much love & gratitude.
