They're not just journeys; they're huge creative awakenings.
I’ve known Joanna for over 15 years, crossing paths through her busy career as an artist in London. When I needed to reconnect with my creative practice after a long hiatus, I turned to her for mentorship.
Joanna made the transition seamless, offering unwavering support and inspiration. She's a kind and compassionate guiding hand. Thanks to her guidance, I’m more productive than I’ve been in years - refining my workflow, developing new ideas, positioning and prospecting clients with confidence"

"I’m now focused on my own vision and direction, full of creative energy to push my practice forward both personally and professionally.
Working with Jo in 1-2-1s sessions always energises me, no matter what stage I am in my creative workflow. I always feel comfortable to openly share what areas I'm struggling with and our chats always result in me feeling more balanced, with a clear plan of action. Jo's knowledge and insight is so valuable, I look forward to working with her again down the line." Claudine O'Sullivan
If you reach a point in your career where you feel stuck and you are not sure how to move forward, working with Joanna will help you understand your goals and also learn what changes you need to make to move forward with confidence and motivation.
I feel it really helped me to know myself better and how to plan my work in a more organised way"
Mish shares her wins after 5 just months of mentoring
"I have learnt powerful techniques for overcoming overwhelm, which was one of my biggest challenges. I can now plan, strategise and set goals in a calm, methodical way.
I have grown a lot more comfortable with marketing, newsletters and self-promotion.
It has allowed me to see my strengths, identify my blocks, and has really improved my overall confidence.
I have really identified my blocks and where my mindset needs shifting in order to step into my potential and really up my game.
I have increased my rates in my freelance design work.
I had the confidence/drive and use a 2.5 month trip to Oz as a chance to travel as a professional artist for the first time. I subsequently painted my favourite mural to date, and started a new collection that embraced my love of travel.
I feel a lot more confident, capable & powerful in myself and as an artist.
Jo’s advice on NFTS, Press and other aspects of the industry has really saved me many, many hours of research.
I now have a valuable toolkit I can keep referring back to for many years to come.
I got into 2 new Art Galleries and secured drinks partnerships and sponsors." Mishfit
Genuinely, I have adored mentoring and working with you.
It really has changed the way I work and my mindset completely. I’ve been taken from feeling stuck in a rut, to a really expansive place, where I feel like I am now in a place where I can keep growing, improving and moving closer to my goals everyday."
Felicity Hamilton, Fe&Co
... a marked PROGRESSION and improvement in my ceramics and a clear style.
The way that Joanna seems so easily to understand me, sometimes better than I understand myself.
I like that we can record sessions and I can go over it again in my own time."
Associate Architect & Ceramicist Sapna Shah
I found ways to re-program and re approach and tackle projects with a new found optimism and sense of adventure, a sense of myself"
The one-on-one meet-ups were more helpful than I could have IMAGINED. Just the amount of REALISATIONS that happened. And also the INSIGHTS provided by you, noticing the things I missed, and clarifying what I was trying to explain __Shelley Wallace
''Jo, through her experience as an artist and vibrant energy, has prompted me to face my creative blocks.
My career was at a point where I felt stuck due to insecurities and fears, this prevented me from having a clear vision of how to move forward with my career as an artist.
The first few weeks of mentoring have been a time of constant self-reflection, helping me to gain clarity and confidence in my work.
She brings a fresh and accurate point of view of what I must do to grow as an artist."
Paula Banche
"Her way of working is completely adaptable, so much so that I’ve returned to her as my mentor, several times over the years.
Before working with Jo, I had become stuck in a ‘safe’ job, but I had an inner knowing that there was more creativity in me that I needed to be expressed. We had an initial call to see how we might work together and almost 4 years, and several invaluable sessions later I’ve loved her energy, expertise, and agile way of working.
Jo and I have had workshops that have brought out freeing ways of creating in me. I’ve had my moments of complete meltdowns, but Jo’s practical steps have helped move me forward.
With Jo’s help, I’ve moved through 2 creative roles, and now have the clarity, vision, and confidence to work with organisations that truly align with my purpose. I have never felt braver in creating"
Satvia Sihota
''I’m now working with a new accountant, my bank and people working with women's businesses, to launch my own company, my own brand and "chase my dreams".
All of this is because of you and because of what you gave me, the time you spent with me was so precious. Without you I may not have been able to have known what was wrong in my creativity, life and work life.
I didn’t know what to expect with you as it was the first time working with a mentor and it’s better than I expected, because it’s not only about the ‘work’, it’s been to find myself. We worked on what I can be as an artist.
I’m starting something really exciting. I am so grateful."
