Q & A with Joan (she/her)

What's the most inspiring part of your job? 

The most inspiring part of my job is being a witness to someone’s healing and helping them achieve their goals. 

The best piece of advice I've been given is...

... “be patient with yourself.” Patience requires a special type of waiting. Not the type that is focused on an expectation or reward; but the type that is present and aware. When we’re present, we’re not looking for anything. We’re still, focused and then changed.
