Joanna Gates

Creator of The Mindful Mind and The Mindful Mind Experience

I do what I love and I love what I do. Helping others has always been my passion. For  the past 30 years, I’ve dedicated myself to working as a helping professional in various capacities, with the ultimate goal of ‘helping people, to help themselves.’

It is my feeling that life may be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be so hard. When you have lost your way in life it’s easy to lose your ‘Self’ in the process. No matter the destination, You are the source and connection to everything in your life. That’s why our work naturally starts with You.

My specialized focus is in healing arts and education; integrating both counseling and coaching with mindfulness psychology. The process is organic in nature; both flexible and supportive, adapting to your pace and comfortability, transitioning along with you as you develop and grow. It’s a personalized experience and journey to create positive change in your life.

“I have worked remotely with Joanna on a regular basis for nearly a year and am grateful for her personalized teaching and clear explanation of EMDR and other easily implemented techniques for staying in the creative and avoiding the flight or fight responses of my mind and body to my usual (and unusual) daily stressors. Joanna’s knowledge, informed by geniuses like Joe Dispenza, is extensive and very useful to share.
Joanna is a compassionate and enlightening natural healer.”
