The healing magic channeled through Joanne is something akin to the ancient stories of miracles. I have remembered much of my multidimensional Self through her work.
I am a fortunate one to have sat with her several times and I cannot say I have experienced a deeper healing anywhere else.
I have laughed and cried at my most authentic being while releasing the deepest of buried memories my body once held unknown even to me.
The result has been a truly profound layer of awakening I am blessed to know in every breath.
Much love and good journey to the soul who says “Yes”

My session with Joanne goes beyond words, but I will try my best. I’ve never experienced such a nurturing, unconditionally loving space.
Tender touch, being held, divine love and the divine mother, all in one.
I cried for myself, for my past self, for my inner child, for my ancestors, for all my past lives.
Just bawling and bawling after lifetimes of tears withheld.
I felt incredibly safe and honored to be witnessed by this beautiful woman.
With her help I was able to remember who I am, forgive those who have hurt me, and release so much.
I have experienced many, many healing modalities over the years- for me this was the most powerful, most expansive, most healing, and awe inspiring.
I can only describe this woman as such:
Heart centered and led, inspirational, strong, wise, nurturing, magical.
Thank you for the work you do. If you’re considering working with her, you will not regret it and it just may change your life.

“This is more than just body work. Every time I meet with Joanne I am fully realigned. Emotionally, Mentally physically and spiritually. It’s long lasting as well. Most body work sessions leave me feeling like I need to come back weekly or they missed a spot. That’s never how I feel leaving her. I feel fully replenished and complete. I always have some sort of deep insight on my purpose and life meaning. Absolutely #1 body worker in Texas. Thank you!”

“It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.”

“I had the pleasure to dive deep into my body and psyche with Joanne and receive some much needed body work and healing touch.
For as long as I can remember I've had trauma stored in my body and the therapy Joanne offers is powerful transformative medicine.
I've been searching for this kind of deep body work for a long time and have spent a lot of money with ineffective results.
The mix of medicine, deep tissue release, breath work and tuning into the pain and emotional body allowed for the release of old stuck energy and memories in the body that was keeping stuck in old patterns of self sabotage and self judgment.
I was able to release a lot around my stories and face my delusions.
It was a full system reset, a coming back home, a deep release to regain balance in my nervous system.
I can't wait for the next session.
Highly recommended for deeper healing and releasing more to heal the body mind and soul.”

Wow .. this was an incredible experience with Joanne. I was just coming off Covid and a period of deadline work stress that had my body on lockdown, barely could move my neck, with lots of Covid-increased brain fog. None of it helped by awareness of the pain in this country and world. Joanne came highly recommended. She put me through a process, mostly original, that opened my body and released tons of tension and stress. Literally felt reborn! Over the years I've experienced many different healers, body workers and realignment masters. Joanne Rees is among the most unique and brilliantly effective. There's a magical quality to what she brings and a way of intuiting exactly the kind of release and elevation that is most effective. Obviously, I highly recommend her. She is an original . A magician and in her own way, a subtle miracle worker

“Working with Joanne is a one-of-a-kind experience, truly something I’ve never had before (and I’ve worked in the healing field for 20 years). It’s a beautiful combination of something like acro yoga, Thai massage, myofascial release and somatic release from each part of the body where trapped energy is stored.
We dug into the most meaningful blockages with very wise, pointed questions from her, coupled with intuitive coaching and positive reprogramming during the session.
Combine that with a masterful soundtrack to elicit the highest emotion, and her work really touch into deep shadow and soul work. The end result is a profound release, bodily bliss, heart opening, and deeper embodiment of my spiritual self”

Working with JoAnne has given me a spiritual awakening that I had no idea was even possible nor existed. I have dealt with chronic pain, stress, anxiety for the better part of a decade. I have searched high and low for methods of treatment and healing with little to no help. I have worked in emergency services for the past 24 years, including wild land firefighting, structural firefighting and as a Paramedic. Throughout my career I had no idea the amount of energy or emotional weight that I was accumulating. I was suppressing all of my emotions, allowing me to thrive in my work. I have had many relationships suffer from this, developing a tough outer shell impenetrable to outside influences good or bad. Until my body decided to start breaking down, I began to become aware of the harm that I was causing, to myself and those around me. After working with JoAnne, I have become very aware of my emotional blockages. During our ceremonies I have actually visualized and felt the stored emotions and witnessed the blockages in my body. This has allowed me to identify and begin the process of releasing them. Within this work I have been shown God and the connectivity of the universe and everyone around me. For the first time in my entire life of 42 years, I AM FREE.
Love you so much

The session with Joanne has been so awakening for me and the journey has just begun. It’s indescribable. I feel more spiritual than ever, more loving, less critical, less judgmental, and feel my connection to the universe within myself. i LOVE it! i feel like i am starting to live purely free. if you're open to surrendering i highly recommend meeting her!!
See you soon my new found friend! You’re an angel.
Love, Cort
During my Somatic Release phone session today with Joanne, I experienced a deep body connection with stored trauma and stories coming to the surface. I was able to pin point where the traumas were being stored, sit with them, and release them. Joanne guided me through a heart opening meditation journey that allowed me to experience pure bliss.
I had many eye opening visions during our session that expanded my energetic field. She is loving, authentic and highly skilled in her work. Her passion for assisting others is full of pure light.
I would highly recommend anyone interested in deep healing and awakening to be guided by Joanne.

Wow...where to even begin. My medicine experience with Joanne was nothing short of completely life-altering. I reached out to her after hitting a low in my mental health and was unsure of what to do or where to turn after having done much healing and recovery work in the past. There was still a lingering hopelessness that I couldn't seem to escape from.
Joanne immediately agreed to work with me, and we dove right into the medicine...
After dosing, she helped me get into my body through breathwork, acroyoga, music, coaching, and her own loving presence. What followed was a full-body, somatic release of my deepest shame, secrets, and mistakes I had buried so deep in my mind; things I was prepared to take to the grave with me and had no intention of telling anyone. Instead, I was led to one of the most liberating releases I've ever had and to a place of sovereignty and peace in my being that I thought was simply impossible for someone as lost as I felt.
Her approach is nothing short of masterful, nothing short of the kind of presence and expertise I would ascribe to other spiritual teachers and healers I've met. She combines rigorous truth-telling, a head-on, fearless approach to the darkness, and a feminine, motherly energy that allowed me to surrender to what IS; not what the boogeyman in my mind has been telling me for decades. By the end of the day, I was basking in self-acceptance and an astute awareness of the ongoing work needing to be done, not from a place of 'self-improvement' but simply self-love.
It is hard to put into words just how impactful it was, because so much happened in such a short amount of time. It truly is like experiencing several years of therapy in several hours. Plant medicine has been a big part of my path and after this experience I recognize these medicines as the teachers and healers humanity is so desperately in need of. Instead of feeling hopeless and suicidal I was shifted into seeing the beauty of life and seeing the mistakes and struggles as the perfect learning lessons that I (not anyone else) chose to master in this lifetime. What I am left with is an overwhelming gratitude for my life, my being, and the real possibility of healing through communion, connection, and self-acceptance.

"I didn’t exactly know what to expect when I booked a group session with Joanne. Ive had medicine before but never in a therapeutic group setting and never with a facilitator. I went in with an open mind, really not knowing what to expect or what I was searching for. At this moment I am finding it difficult to even find words to describe how profound of an experience I have had with Joanne. I can honestly say my life has changed. This session has allowed me to discover parts of myself that I didn’t know existed. Through body work, she releases tension that you probably don't even know was there. Years of traumas and stress were releasing out of my body and deep realizations of my true self were clarified. I am still integrating and processing my experience but Joanne helped me learn what my deepest true wounds were, not the stories or labels my ego or others have placed but I was faced with the actual clarity of how I got to where I am and who I am. “From the music, the meditation, body work, her divine timing of what she says and does was simply magic. “

Joanne guided me through an exercise to release stuck energy from childhood trauma. She created and maintained a safe and loving space that allowed me to access and release stored pain that I had been holding for a long time. She helped me stay present in my body and allow my body to release the energy as it intuitively knows how to heal. Throughout the process Joanne provided love and nurturing which allowed me to feel safe enough to let go and release the pain. My inner child felt safe enough to remember, talk about what happened, and express the stored emotions and energy. I felt a huge sense of release and flow of loving energy after, plus a sense of lightness and hope after shedding the heaviness that has weighed on me for so long.
What a gift to meet Joanne and do this work with her. She is very skilled, present, and loving.

My phone nsession with you last night was so incredible Joann! It turned me around from being in a state of anxiety with a big headache to coming back into my heart. It was like any anguish and pain were transformed into self love. When I’ve worked with you it’s like you pick me up out of the mud and gently clean away the muck and grime and I feel held and lovingly caressed.
What you really do is have me hold myself. It teaches me that I can do this at any time. Go from stress and feeling disconnected to holding and caressing my heart, reminding me that I am there for myself. It’s a stepping stone and a bridge to remind me that the state of calm and bliss I was in when I got off the phone is accessible at any time.
Thank you for all you do. It is such a gift.
Christine
Joanne is such a gift to this planet and the awakening of humanity. She is a magnificent body worker, soul and spirit worker. The love and beauty that flows through Joanne when she is in session with another human is Amazing. She works on our Avatars for this time. She helps us remember. Awakens my body, gets it flowing. Knows just what is needed, and knows just what to do. Such loving presence. I feel so supported and safe. I’m feeling hope again after my session with her. I feel something has awakened and shifted in my body and I can feel my body more. I am so deeply grateful for sessions with Joanne.
Laura
In my phone session with Joanne, I felt really safe and held. She walked me through a somatic experience of feeling everything in my body, and speaking to it with so much love and respect and I watch how the sensations moved and transformed. After the session I felt much more connected to myself and my intuition and my loving inner voice was much more intact. She helped bring me back to myself and empowering and remind me that I am my greatest healer. Thank you Joanne
Gina
Joanne is a gifted, intuitive, physically strong and balanced healer. She blends many disciplines and techniques to create a personalized container of grace where the body can deeply relax, open energy channels and release old patterns. I think yoga practitioners, chiropractors, massage therapists and the like will particularly find her work powerful. It includes assisted stretching with slow massage (she can go deep, but I asked for a modest amount of pressure), leveraging body mechanics for optimal release and positive sensation. One of the shapes was a supine twist, top knee bent and resting on floor, with gentle but increasing pressure on glute while at the same time gentle hand pressure opening at the shoulder in opposite direction. It felt like a spiral staircase going up the spine, clearing out the energy centers with consistent deep breathing, which was encouraged but not forced. Two hours with Joanne is a once in a lifetime experience not only because of her skill, but the unique body mechanics and energy she brings as an avid practitioner of what she teaches.

“Joanne's body work had a profoundly powerful effect on me at many levels. She put her all into my treatment, every ounce of her body and soul. The result for me was a deep opening, after a decade of encapsulated grief, overwork and autoimmune issues, my body feels alive and wants to move into all sorts of yoga poses I thought were only in my past. For the first time in a really long time, I am doing yoga because my body is asking for it, rather than because I think I should. What a tremendous gift!"
Matt
My experience with Joanne was amazing. She intuitively knows what you need but also encourages you to use your own intuition as well.
When she was doing body work, I did not know how much fear I was holding onto until I connected with my higher self. Joanne said to say whatever needs to be said and that immediately connected me to my higher self.
My higher Self was telling me that everything Is okay repeatedly and I’m always okay. I felt that true knowing penetrate my soul and really believed it.
The days following I felt less bothered by situations or experiences bc I truly know everything is always okay. It’s a deep knowing now, more than just thinking everything is okay without the belief behind it.
Also at one point in the session Joanne laid down with me and was holding me and brushing my hair back, I felt like I transported back to being a little girl and felt so loved and safe. My heart was blissed out. That was my favorite memory with my mom. Definite inner child healing taking place. I love working with Joanne because it always brings to the surface the things I need to be shown that I was previously unaware of.
Knowing that I am expanding my consciousness brings me suchL peace and happiness. The biggest key in this session with Joanne was to be present and not worry about not having a plan, I am being guided and everything is truly okay and always works out in its own divine way.

My experience working with Joann was insightful and rejuvenating. I feel she released years of stress and emotional trauma that I was holding on to.
I feel reborn, like she pushed the reset button. My body feels relaxed, and I feel at peace. Life’s challenges are much easier to deal with.
Life itself seems lighter more joyful and spacious. I consider working with Joann an essential part to my spiritual awakening and to the evolution of my consciousness.
It is clear to see that the work Joann does comes from a higher power. Thank you, my friend, for bringing light and love into my life.
Love,
Michael
Joanne has the right words and extreme presence that all fear just dissolves when she’s near. My experience was so beautiful. Different parts of my body were holding so much pain that when Joanne found the spot, it was total release from that stuck energy I was holding onto.
When my body let go of that pain I just became one with the present moment and realized there is no where else to be. Everything in every moment is so perfect.
The biggest shift is realizing that there is never anything lacking from the present moment and when you do feel lack it’s because I am taking this life experience too seriously.
It’s meant to be easy and fun. I have learned that I need to experience that emotion that comes up in order to let it transform into love and not get stuck and be a part of my body. I realized that yoga and breathing allow that to happen.
I’m excited to live my life with this realization that every moment is being lived by the creator and it’s beautiful.
Alexis
Just had the joy of experiencing an incredible yogic shamanic energy healing session with Joanne, wow!! Seriously blew my mind. I breathed, I released, I laughed, I released some more, I cried, I released some more... It was a wild journey, filled with gratitude, f-bombs, spontaneous rivers of energy bursting, buzzing, and flowing. She was pure presence, intuitively unlocking all of the places where I’d been storing old gunk.
There was a big block behind my heart center, which she patiently unraveled layer by layer. Afterward, I felt reborn brighter, lighter, and several inches taller. There’s a spaciousness and new flexibility between my shoulder blades that I haven’t felt in many years. I feel strong, steady, and centered in my Beingness.
Truly a remarkable experience, one that I highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience more of their own wholeness.

“Joanne led me deeply and beautifully into a space inside myself that was very very safe, especially given her warm loving facilitation of the group! She helped me to allow my body to express itself without judgment. In the two weeks since I have been integrating inside rather beautifully with love and ease for myself which is new and which manifests in my meditations and even in my work. I certainly look forward to many more and deeper experiences with Joanne in the future!”
Richard
“Joanne very beautifully and effectively facilitated my mind and body becoming connected with my soul in a way I have never before experienced. I was able to experience a very wonderful and powerful “dance with myself”, so to speak. Since that incredible awareness expanding day, I’ve had such a deeper and ongoing connection with my “higher self”, as well as a new love for and appreciation of my physical body.”
Gail
Since I started working with Joanne I've noticed an aliveness in my emotional self. Which is something I didn't really know I was missing until she introduced it to me. When I'm with her I feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Whether through her firm knowledgeable touch or her soft and loving voice letting you know it's ok to open up. I have felt and experienced emotions and physical release that I'm not sure I've never felt through any other means. I know I still have a lot of work to do to experience my true self and I look forward to Joanne coaching me through the journey.
The love and compassion I've felt is unparalleled and it has allowed me to reach parts of myself that I haven't connected to since childhood. There is a continuous sense of physical, emotional and mental release. Like a pleasurable current of electricity is flowing all throughout my body, mind and soul. I genuinely wish I could have more time with her but she is not meant to stay in one place. Which makes the time with her that much more special.
Alex M
Thank you for a healing experience beyond anything I’ve experienced in my 60 plus years. Your work on my body helped me release grief and sorrow for my loved ones who have passed with no emotional release by me over the last 30 years. Those tears allowed me to open my heart to the new chapter I am creating for my life. For two hours after our time together my body vibrated uncontrollably in joy. My muscles were tired but my love of seeing the beauty in life was rejuvenated and alive. I spoke with a love interest about the experience. In that conversation we agreed to fully and authentically communicating our truths whether that brings us together as lovers and partners or shows us that our friendship is enough. I was able maybe for the first time in my life to tell her what I realized with your help that I wanted and needed for me from a partner.
I look forward to more in person and tele health calls with you as I continue to awaken the beauty and light within myself.
I am grateful to know you and for the difference your gifts bring the world.
Much love
Danny
So blessed to have met you. Words are not enough…, Your loving hug as we concluded also contributed to the healing and trust my soul needs right now. So blessed
“I have suffered from chronic pain in my body for over 6 years that has consumed my life.
I have been to Doctors, PTs, Chiro, physical trainers that have given me little help or hope to my recovery.
In one experience with Joanne, my world had been transformed. She has tapped into another dimension of my body and soul which has released the anger/frustration/resentment which I feel has been the root of my pain/discomfort. “
Guy
Today we addressed a lot of long term plaguing thoughts and beliefs of mine, going from the thought to the sensation associated with it to loving the sensation and challenging the thought. The main underlying thought for me was that I was unsafe and there was lots of shame associated with most of the thoughts too. Joanne guided me to connect with the body and take deep breaths with sound on the exhale and be in a space of welcoming the experience I was having and recognising that I was the awareness that all the thoughts and sensations occurred in. Joanne reminded me that all the thoughts and beliefs were mind activity and were not true, and asked what it would be like for me in past scenarios without the narratives I had been applying. I could see that I felt much more safe with the exact same stimulus when I didn't apply the judgements I'd made of them.
Through the session I went from feeling quite contracted and activated in my nervous system to feeling calm and in deep presence, with a significant shift in my perception of all these things which had been bothering me. Feeling much safer and self-trusting. So nice.
Joanne holds a space of deep acceptance and love which makes it easier for me to come out of judgement and into welcoming. Thank you Joanne.
Diana
"I’ve been to treatment centers and I’ve worked with a lot of individuals but wow this was special. I had a unique opportunity to meet with and work with Joanne recently and from the moment she woke up to the moment everyone was asleep she was giving 100% of her energy and her effort towards healing and helping people just straight from her heart, she’s one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met that is so passionate about helping in healing.
She didn’t wait for somebody to ask for help she would actively go and look for people to serve and support.
I am lucky to have met her and to now have her as part of my aftercare recovery program, to have the ability to reach out to her when I need support. If you have the opportunity to do any work with her, on the phone or to meet her in person, you’ll instantly feel her energy and know that everything she does comes 100% from the heart.
For the first time I’ve finally had a psychic shift. Joanne played a large part of that due to the Energy, effort, work, and love that she brought to me and to my Recovery."
