Hi!
I’m Joanne and
I am SO pleased
YOU are here…

For years, I poured myself into helping others build their dreams and somewhere along the way, lost sight of my own. It took courage to stop, turn inward and do the deep work: the inner child therapy, unpacking family patterns, rebuilding my relationship with myself and then others. Now I bring those 15 years of experience - both personal and professional - to help you reclaim your power and build boundaries that last.

The Journey Here

In many traditions, the solar plexus is knows as your inner sun - the seat of your personal power, self-worth and boundaries. When this centre is strong, you feel grounded and capable. When it’s dimmed, you feel scattered and powerless.
Making The Sun is the practice of fanning that inner flame. It’s about reclaiming your power, building boundaries that honour you and learning to shine without dimming yourself for others. You were built for this balance.
Sometimes you just need someone to help you remember.

The Philosophy

I blend practical boundary-setting tools with deeper self-awareness work. My approach is warm, grounded, and focused on sustainable change. We’ll explore your patterns, understand what’s beneath them and build the self-worth needed to hold boundaries without guilt. This work isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Learning to trust yourself, keep your word to yourself, and create balance that lasts.

How we work together

My relationship with nature has been one of the most constant and grounding forces in my life. From volunteering in wildlife rescue to sitting in quiet awe of an ant navigating its path, a wedgetailed eagle riding the thermals or the way light moves through the trees — nature has always held me.

No matter what happens in life, the earth has always been there. Steady. Patient. Supporting us whether we notice it or not. We are not separate from nature — we are part of it. Part of the same ecosystem, the same cycles, the same web of life that connects every living being on this planet. This is something I return to again and again in my own life and in the meditations I offer; that we are always supported by the earth beneath us, the water around us and the skies above us.

With that spirit, I acknowledge the Bundjalung people, the traditional custodians of the land I live on and pay respect to their elders past and present. I honour the profound wisdom and deep knowledge of those who have walked here for thousands of generations — and I hold a vision of a shared future where caring for country, water and sky becomes our collective responsibility and greatest privilege.

“I was fortunate enough to work with Joanne during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her Empathy, compassion, gentle encouragement and honesty without judgement helped me refocus the next half of my life. Without her, I would be in a very grim place today.”

— Gavin
