Joanna C. Curry-Sartori

Whether I am working with individuals or groups, in personal or professional settings, I facilitate nurturing spaces in which we learn, heal and grow together. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, Level 2 trained and certified in Internal Family Systems. I've specialized in adapting the wisdom and tools of IFS for everyday application through PAUSE for Self-Leadership, a practical 5 step model to unlock wellbeing and collaborative capacity in daily life. This means that whether we work individually or in groups, you leave empowered with the knowledge and tools to sustain change and navigate life's challenges with greater Self-leadership. I also show up, not just as a therapist or guide, but as a fellow human on the journey, sharing from my life experience. I've been practicing yoga and mindfulness for most of my life, cherishing my own journey of practice and self-discovery. I have extensive training as a public speaker and facilitator of experiential learning. I've spent many of the last 25 years in leadership roles in a variety of organizations. This breadth of study and service equips me to be with you on your journey as a therapist, facilitator and consultant. Let's explore what's possible! THERAPIST My clients are people who spend their day leading and caring for others - business leaders, school administrators, educators, counselors, parents - and they are looking for a space that cares for them supports them to access their own greatest inner resources. As a therapist, I guide your journey to understand and release where you feel blocked, heal old wounds and outdated patterns, and to align with how you want to show up now. Whether in personal or professional life, you will experience your power to be more Self-Led - calm, compassionate and courageous - amidst it all. Through our work you will learn tools (PAUSE) to come back to yourself daily, and especially in those most challenging moments, to access the awareness and skill to care for yourself, connect with others and purposefully lead your life. CELEBRANT If you are interested in having me support your wedding as a celebrant, I would be delighted to discuss my services. I not only lead the design of authentic and powerful ceremonies, but support you to travel through this significant life transition with clarity, connection and purpose. Before getting married, it's important to articulate a clear, shared intention for your relationship. Additionally it's important to have a safe space and the tools to process the mixed emotions, expectations and possibilities that emerge before, during and after a wedding ceremony. I'd be honored to travel with you through this sacred time and support you to bring good energy to the launch of your marriage. TRAINER AND CONSULTANT As the Founder the Self-leadership Collaborative, I've grown a global team that provides workshops and consultation for individuals and teams around the world.

My global team and I would be delighted to connect and explore options.
