Who I Work With

Life after a diagnosis, health scare, or major life transition can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and uncertain. You may be wondering how to rebuild your strength, energy, and sense of self – and what comes next.

  • For cancer survivors: I help women rebuild strength, vitality, and identity after cancer. Together, we navigate the “now what” with clarity and empowerment, reconnecting you with your inner spark and a renewed sense of direction.

  • For women seeking optimal well-being: If you’re feeling depleted, unmotivated, or simply tired of getting through the day, I help you understand what your body and mind truly need. Through small, intentional steps, we restore your energy and balance in a way that feels sustainable and aligned with your life.
Let’s Connect

Hello! I’m Joanne

If you’re navigating cancer or a health challenge – like diabetes, autoimmune disease, or menopause – you might feel like life has been turned upside down. I remember that feeling – the disbelief, shock fear, and the uncertainty of what the future holds.

But there is a way forward. A health challenge doesn’t take away your right to dream, or your ability to choose, heal, and grow. Even in the hardest moments, there is still a spark within you—sometimes you just need support to reconnect with it.

As a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBHWC) trained and certified at Mayo Clinic, and someone who has walked this path, I am here to help you take your next brave step.

Foundational Pillars

At BraveSpark Coaching, I believe true well-being is built on a strong foundation. These pillars guide the work I do with clients—whether they are navigating cancer, chronic illness, or simply seeking to optimize their health. Each area can be explored in a way that is meaningful and relevant to your journey, helping you build resilience, restore balance, and create sustainable habits that support your body, mind, and spirit.

I take a holistic, whole-person approach—supporting body and mind through personalized care tailored to your needs, goals, and current challenges. Together, we’ll focus on the areas that matter most to you, helping you recover, heal, and cultivate a sense of well-being and vitality that fits your life.

  • Nutrition

I am a believer that food is medicine. Good nutrition is foundational to healing and well-being. By choosing whole, nutrient-dense foods, we nourish the body, support the immune system, and prevent and manage illness. But nutrition is more than just what’s on your plate—it’s about fostering a positive and balanced relationship with food that nurtures both body and mind.

  • Physical Activity

Movement is a powerful healing tool. Regular activity boosts immunity, reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and lifts mood. Whether it’s gentle stretching or more dynamic exercise, movement supports both physical and emotional well-being. It’s about finding enjoyable, sustainable ways to move that restore energy and support healing.

  • Mindfulness

Mindfulness helps us stay present and steady through the ups and downs of illness. By observing thoughts and emotions with compassion, we reduce stress, build emotional resilience, and foster inner calm. Finding grounding practices that connect us to our inner strength is key.

  • Resilience

Resilience is the ability to meet adversity with strength and adaptability. It’s not about avoiding struggle—it’s about growing through it. In coaching, we cultivate the mindset and tools to bounce forward—stronger, wiser, and more whole.

  • Joy

Joy is a powerful force for healing. Focusing on gratitude and what lights you up boosts emotional health and supports the immune system. I will help you rediscover moments of joy that lift your spirit and spark hope even during difficult times.

Client Reflections

Before working with Joanne, I was stuck in patterns of compulsion and constantly trying to control the uncontrollable, keeping me from truly achieving physical and mental wellness. Joanne has helped me reflect deeply, bringing awareness to the patterns and beliefs that were holding me back. She listens carefully to my needs and has helped and motivated me to take effective actions moving me closer to the life I envision. Through her compassionate and insightful coaching, I’ve learned to let go of the things that used to drain me. I now handle life’s stressors with greater ease. My relationships, especially with family, have deepened and improved. I have more energy to do the things that bring me joy. Joanne doesn’t just offer tools for change - she walks beside you with empathy, helping you express, embody, and live a better version of your life.

Daniel Kim, 38Small Business Owner, Hong Kong

I’m so glad I had the chance to get Joanne’s help and support around a recent health issue. She’s extremely empathetic, supportive, and organized and helped me come up with a plan that felt personal and achievable. She took her time to listen to my history, current challenges, and hopes for the future. Joanne was an invaluable part of my support system through a stressful time, and I know I’ll continue to use the guidance and tools she’s given me. I can’t recommend her enough!

Martha C, 36, LondonMarketing Manager

Working with Joanne has been a game changer. Her deep knowledge, personalized approach, and genuine care have made a real difference in my well-being. I feel stronger, more balanced, and more in tune with myself than ever before.

D. L., 59Real Estate Consultant, Rome

Working with Joanne has been such an eye opening experience for me. As someone navigating the transition into retirement, I was struggling with motivation, procrastination, and establishing healthy habits. From our very first session, she brought empathy, clarity, and structure to what felt like a chaotic time in my life.
Her strength and compassion as a fellow breast cancer survivor has added a layer of deep understanding and trust to our work together. She was recommended to me by my medical team, and now I understand why—her presence is both grounding and energizing. I'm incredibly grateful for her insight, encouragement, and practical tools, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support and direction during a major life transition.

Mandy, 68California, recent retiree

Joanne was great. She was an active listener during our sessions and was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing. I loved how she checked in with me in between sessions. And during our sessions she had valuable tools for my life situations. Thanks, Joanne! I highly recommend her services!

Online Casino Oynama Kültürü ve Türkiye’deki Durumu

Son yıllarda dijital eğlence dünyası büyük bir ivme kazanırken, online casino oyunları da Türkiye’de giderek daha fazla ilgi görmektedir. İnternetin hayatımıza girmesiyle birlikte, geleneksel kumarhaneler yerine evlerimizin rahatlığında, dijital platformlar üzerinden oyun oynamak mümkün hale geldi. Özellikle teknolojiyle iç içe yaşayan genç nüfus, online casino oyunlarına yönelmiş ve bu sektördeki büyüme gözle görülür bir şekilde artmıştır.

Online Casino Oyunlarının Popülerliği

Online casino, kullanıcıların internet üzerinden kumar oynayabilecekleri dijital platformlardır. Bu platformlarda, slot makinelerinden poker oyunlarına, ruletten blackjack’e kadar çeşitli kumar oyunlarını oynamak mümkündür. Özellikle kullanıcı dostu arayüzler ve gelişmiş mobil uygulamalar sayesinde, bu oyunlara her an her yerden ulaşmak mümkündür. Türkiye’deki oyuncular, casino oyunlarını farklı cihazlar üzerinden oynayarak, günün her saati eğlenceli bir deneyim yaşayabilmektedirler.

Türkiye’de Online Casino ve Hukuki Durum

Türkiye’de online casino oyunlarına olan ilgi her geçen gün artarken, hukuki durum da önemli bir konu olmaktadır. Türkiye’de kumar oynamak, yasal olarak belirli kurallara tabidir. Ancak online casinolar genellikle yurtdışında lisanslıdır ve bu nedenle Türkiye’deki yasal çerçevelerle doğrudan ilişkili olmayabilir. Bu durum, oyunculara daha geniş bir oyun seçeneği sunmakta ve uluslararası pazarda bulunan en kaliteli oyunları deneyimlemelerini sağlamaktadır.

Online Casino Oynamanın Avantajları

  1. Erişilebilirlik: Online casino oyunları, bilgisayar, tablet veya akıllı telefonlar gibi farklı cihazlar üzerinden oynanabilir. Bu, oyunculara evlerinden çıkmadan ve her an her yerde oyun keyfi yaşama imkanı tanır.
  2. Çeşitli Oyun Seçenekleri: Türkiye’deki oyuncular, yurtdışında popüler olan slot makineleri, masa oyunları ve canlı casino seçeneklerine erişebilirler. Bu oyunların farklı varyasyonları sayesinde, her seviyeden oyuncu kendine uygun bir oyun bulabilir. Makalelerimizin daha fazlasını burada bulabilirsiniz: 1xbet
  3. Bonuslar ve Promosyonlar: Online casinolar, oyuncuları çekebilmek için çeşitli bonuslar ve promosyonlar sunmaktadır. Yeni üye olanlar için hoş geldin bonusları, sadık oyunculara özel promosyonlar gibi teklifler sayesinde kazançları artırmak mümkün olmaktadır.
  4. Gizlilik ve Güvenlik: Online casino platformları, oyuncuların bilgilerini güvenli bir şekilde saklamak için gelişmiş şifreleme teknolojileri kullanmaktadır. Bu da oyunculara güvenli bir oyun ortamı sunar.

Eğlenceli ve Dikkatli Oyun Deneyimi

Online casino oyunlarının en önemli avantajlarından biri, eğlenceli ve keyifli bir deneyim sunmalarıdır. Ancak, her oyun gibi online casino oyunlarının da dikkatli bir şekilde oynanması gerekmektedir. Oyunların heyecanına kapılarak sorumsuzca bahis yapmak, istenmeyen finansal sonuçlara yol açabilir. Bu nedenle, oyuncuların bütçelerini kontrol altında tutarak, eğlencenin tadını çıkarırken sorumlu bir oyun anlayışını benimsemeleri önemlidir.

Sonuç Olarak

Online casino oyunları, Türkiye’de giderek artan bir popülerlik kazanmakta ve dijital oyun dünyasında yerini sağlamlaştırmaktadır. Her ne kadar hukuki durum ve yasal düzenlemeler dikkatle takip edilmesi gereken unsurlar olsa da, online casino oyunları doğru şekilde ve sorumlu bir şekilde oynandığında eğlenceli ve kazançlı bir deneyim sunabilir. Gelişen teknoloji sayesinde, Türkiye’deki oyuncular dünya çapındaki en kaliteli oyunları keşfetmeye devam etmektedir.
