I got a lot out of the women's circle Joanna ran for us. The experience made me feel connected to the other women in the circle and helped me feel grounded. I appreciated the opportunity to self-reflect and explore different ideas in a structured way with clear rules. Joanna has a calm and warm presence that made me feel safe and comfortable and she explained everything well. I would very much recommend her business to other women.

The women's circle facilitated by Joanna was an incredibly nurturing experience. Joanna is a gentle, wise and calm facilitator, starting with a warm and relaxed welcome, transitioning us from 'normal life' to the circle. A beautiful, peaceful space was created and held by Joanna. The intentions were clearly communicated and set and I felt safe and comfortable sharing in the circle. Thank you Joanna!

I’ve been working with Joanna in my garden for a few months now and am really loving it. There’s a great sense of achievement seeing the progress we’ve made, and I like knowing that we’ll get a productive session in the garden each fortnight, even if I don’t have time for much in between. I’ve already started referring her to friends. And I’ll be recommending her to my mother’s friends too – she’d be perfect for helping older people as well.

My land has always been a place of joy and beauty, but I didn’t feel confident enough to take on certain projects alone. Working with Joanna has changed that. She comes alongside me with knowledge, preparation, and encouragement, so I get to be part of the process rather than handing it all over to someone else. Together we’ve started wicking boxes, we’re planning to revive my orchard, and she’s even helping me to make a memorial garden. With Joanna’s support, I’m learning, creating, and enjoying my land in new and meaningful ways.

Joanna led a beautiful women's circle which gave me the opportunity to connect and reflect on my experiences as a new same-sex mother, and my place within my family. Joanna created a sense of ease and the space for genuine reflection, leading naturally to new insights and understanding about myself and others. I was really surprised at the clarity and connection that the circle gave me, and I found it to be a really grounding and affirming experience.

Joanna creates a beautiful, safe space for women to connect to one another and to take time to reflect. It is a really nourishing experience to be guided by Joanna and participate in her women’s circle. Thank you for your warmth, compassion and care.

Local Abbey mother

Joanna has been helping us set up our veggie garden over the past few months and honestly, we couldn’t have done it without her. She’s completely transformed the space and made the whole process feel manageable and enjoyable.

Living on a busy property with kids around is never exactly calm or organised, but Joanna has fit in so naturally with our life. She’s been so patient and flexible, always working around the chaos and somehow making it all come together. One of the loveliest parts has been how much she’s involved the kids in the garden too - encouraging them to help, teaching them little things along the way, and making them genuinely excited about growing food. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking, but also just really lovely to have around. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and you can tell she genuinely cares about creating something that works for your family and lifestyle, not just something that looks good.

Thanks to Joanna, our veggie garden is now thriving and has become one of our favourite parts of our home. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
