aligning souls.
Visionary Coaching specializing in the tools of Spiritual Psychology, A Course in Miracles, The Artist’s Way, and Sensual & Intuitive Arts for those who have Awakened and wish to more joyfully Align.
What is Visionary Coaching?
Visionary Coaching is a term Joanne uses to help clients understand, regardless of circumstances, there is always a healing spiritual or Visionary Perspective available to those who believe the purpose of life is learning to evolve in consciousness. When conflict or issues arise, one who is trained in Visionary Perspective, will immediately move into a place of calm and ask the question, “What is the highest Visionary Perspective available to me at this time? How am I being asked to grow?” Focusing on Visionary Perspective moves clients away from blame/cause and into a solution/creative orientation.

coaching for creatives…
Producing art requires craft yet equally important it requires an understanding of the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental mindsets that influence creative work. Simply put, it is difficult to tap into creativity when you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, believe you don’t have enough time, feel your project is too big to handle, are overcome with a paralyzing sense of fear and “stuckness”, or wonder if anyone will value the gifts you have to give. Unlocking the blocks, grasping the visionary perspective and importance of a project, and feeling unconditionally loved and supported can be the combination one needs to begin a new, or to launch a project from scratch.
Joanne also helps clients find the universal message of the project they are creating. How can struggle and strife be elevated into visionary themes of the Soul? How can a project can be adjusted so it invites an audience to reconsider the cultural rules they live by? How can a client offer a new way of being in the world that benefits the highest good of all concerned? How does the project, the process of creation itself, impact the beliefs of the client? With a gift for seeing the highest possible spiritual potential in all situations, Joanne helps shape complex theories of human potential into understandable soundbites for the Soul.
For those not in the creative industries, Joanne’s background in teaching Language Arts, creativity classes, and writing helps clients do what creatives do naturally; rewrite, edit, and evolve. Whether for personal reasons, business, or simply to access a more joyful way of being, with Joanne’s guidance, clients learn how to align to their Purpose, trim away what isn’t needed, understand motives of all parties (and characters) involved, activate their imagination beyond the limitations of the “rational mind”, and utilize intuition & channeled information as the greatest source of guidance.
