“I was successful in my career but frustrated in my personal life. I kept attracting the same types of relationships and couldn’t understand why.

Working with Joanna helped me identify patterns I had carried for years without realizing it. Instead of blaming myself or continuing to settle, I learned how my beliefs, values, and past experiences were influencing the choices I was making.

The biggest shift wasn’t finding the right partner. It was becoming the healthiest, most authentic version of myself.

Today I have stronger boundaries, greater confidence, and a completely different understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like. The work we did changed far more than my dating life. It changed how I show up in the world.”

Dave S., St. John’s, NL

“After just one retreat with Joanna, we finally understood each other again. It saved our marriage.” - J & T, Toronto

“The Individual Empowerment Program by Joanna L. Cox led me to personal and professional breakthroughs that continue to change my life every day. Within a year of working with Joanna, I was producing my first feature film – a lifelong dream and an enormous challenge – where I used many of the strategies that Joanna taught me. I consider myself a motivated, disciplined and self-aware individual, but I was blown away by how much my own limiting beliefs were preventing me from succeeding as a writer and as a filmmaker. Joanna is proof that small adjustments in my thinking and attitude can inspire tremendous results. Working with Joanna was the best investment I’ve ever made, in myself and in my business.” www.amandamdarling.comwww.alotlikemarriage.com -Amanda M Darling, Screenwriter & Celebrity Blogger

“​I am amazed at the work Joanna and I did together. She helped me resolve my issues around many of my negative emotions. She helped me re-write the messages my subconscious brain was sending me. I feel more positive, happy and content. I don’t seem to be struggling with myself any more. Joanna’s methods are creative and life-giving. No one could go wrong in coming to Joanna for assistance. I had the privilege of undergoing hypnosis with Joanna’s lovely voice guiding me. It was one of the most terrific experiences I have ever had. I have never in my life been that relaxed. I came away from that session happy and full of energy. I have had counselling sessions with different counselors over the past 20 years. No one is like Joanna. I learned more about myself in the few sessions we had together than I had in 20 years. She left me with tools to work with so I can face my future challenges. I will be forever grateful to her. -Rev. Glenda Morrissette”

“I had been wanting to take the leap from working for others to being my own boss for several years. Within 3 months of taking Joanna's Couples Coaching program, I incorporated a business, quit my full time job and now own and operate my own successful construction company. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to make their dreams become reality.” - Gino Doiron, Owner. Gino's Contracting, Sudbury

“I can't remember exactly how many years ago it was, but I think it's about 13 years ago that I went to see Joanna for hypnotherapy to help me quit smoking. I have remained smoke free! One session took me from about 2 large packs a day to none. Can't thank Joanna enough! - Catherine Muir, Sudbury

“My husband and I booked the private couples weekend retreat with Joanna at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario and it was just fantastic. Joanna is intelligent, funny, down to earth and a great listener. She really helped both of us move beyond the turmoil that took place in our business in the past - which was preventing us from moving forward.

We are now equipped with the 'tools' to move forward in our business and our relationship. We're both feeling hopeful, excitement and also feeling like newlyweds again.

I highly recommend her private weekend retreat to couples new and old.

Hats off to you Joanna. You have helped us more than you could ever imagine.”

Thank you.
-Michelle & Mark Madisson, NY

“I was very impressed with Joanna. I came to see her for hypnotherapy for cancer to help with chemotherapy and radiation side effects. I would recommend her to anyone that's going through the same. She's professional and has helped me tremendously.”

- Marielle Carriere, Sudbury

“My Husband and I went to couples therapy and had the best experience ever!!!!!
My husband does not like or trust anyone so it was very difficult for us to find the right fit, we tried several other Therapists and it didn’t work out for different reasons.
We found Joanna and were beyond pleased with her professionalism and how easy it was to talk to her.
She helped us tremendously in more ways than we expected.
We will forever be grateful to you Joanna!💕”

-Tyra & Tim Coutu, Sudbury

A wealth of knowledge and a reliable person to see if you want REAL results.

"I came to Joanna after a toxic relationship left me feeling broken, ashamed, and like I'd never be able to trust—or love—again. I didn't realize how deeply I had been people-pleasing just to keep the peace, or how much of myself I'd lost trying to be 'enough' for someone who never really saw me.

Working with Joanna was life-changing. She helped me see the unconscious patterns I kept repeating—how I was attracting the same dynamic over and over because of unresolved beliefs about my worth. Through her compassionate guidance, mindset tools, and the deep inner work we did together, I finally released the weight of my past.

For the first time in years, I feel grounded, confident, and whole. I know who I am, what I need, and I no longer shrink myself to make others comfortable. I’ve learned how to set boundaries without guilt and how to show up authentically in relationships. Best of all, I believe in love again—not just in finding the right partner someday, but in loving myself deeply and fully now."

-Michael Clark, Rochester NY

“We came to Joanna feeling disconnected and out of balance with his business and my career. I felt like I was always carrying more and he felt unseen—not intentionally, but because of unconscious patterns we didn’t know how to break. There was love, but also tension and growing distance. Through our work with Joanna, we gained clarity, learned to communicate without triggering each other, and started making space for both of our needs and goals. Now, we feel grounded, supported, and connected again—in a way that honours us both. We learned so much about our unconscious minds and how they get in the way of our futures. This is amazing work and I recommend that everyone takes this program!”

— Erin and Jason McAllister, Kingston, Ontario

“We came to Joanna because we had made the decision to consciously uncouple—but we were stuck. We have four children between us, and there was so much hurt and anger in the way that we couldn’t even sit down with our financial planner, let alone have a productive conversation. Joanna helped us take a step back, breathe, and work through the emotions that were keeping us from moving forward. She gave us the tools to heal, realign, and reposition ourselves—not as exes in conflict, but as co-parents who can communicate with clarity and respect. That changed everything.”

-Melissa and David Carver, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

"I never realized how much I was holding myself back in relationships until I started working with Joanna. I used to keep people at arm’s length — quick to shut down, uncomfortable with vulnerability, always needing space. Deep down, I was afraid of being hurt.

Through her sessions, I started to understand the unconscious patterns I’d been running for years. We got to the root of where my avoidant behaviours came from, and I learned how to identify and meet my own emotional needs — without pushing others away.

Now, I feel safe being open. I don’t run from connection anymore — I move toward it with intention. For the first time in my life, I’m not just ready for love… I’m available for it."
