When I began working with Joanne I wanted to make big changes in my life. Joanne offered support that I trusted, and she helped me design strategies and solutions that really worked. But what was really amazing was how much fun I had! Joanne prioritizes fun, and so I learned to do the same! I made all of the changes I wanted. Best of all I love living my life because it is both meaningful and fun! Thank you, Joanne!

During my own journey as a Life Coach, I had the privilege to be coached by Joanne. From the very beginning, I asked her to be strong with me and hold me accountable for what I commited to do. Joanne's style is relaxed and calming, yet she never failed to keep me on my toes, motivated, inspired and moving forward in whatever areas were being focused on at the time. I always felt I was in a very safe place in which to open up fully and dig deep for personal truths and awareness. I came away from this coaching experience learning more about myself as well as coaching.

I'll always be grateful for having Joanne come into my life when she did! Before I found her, I knew I needed to figure out how to achieve balance and calm in my fast-paced NYC life, to learn how to find the "me" time and not feel overwhelmed every hour of every day. I also knew that, although I saw myself as an outgoing and assertive woman, I found myself lying outright to get out of commitments because I didn't know how to say "No" in the first place!
During my 12 sessions with Joanne, I figured out what my priorities are, and how to build my life around them. Through working with Joanne, I figured out the perfect phrase that would help me say "no" without feeling guilty or feel a need to make copious (usually false) excuses. She also helped me whittle down my To Do list so I can give myself the time I need to recharge my batteries - without feeling like I was being lazy or unproductive. She did this all while taking my personality and characteristics into account, and not trying to change who I am. Instead, she worked with that and allowed me to change how I think and view the world I create for myself. Because of that, I enjoy the time I spend with others (because it's my choice to be there) as well as time I carve for me (because I now see the value in it).
Because of her energy, enthusiasm, and humor, I looked forward to every session and discovering what would come out of it. I would recommend Joanne Hunold to anyone who is looking to make changes in their life and all who are committed to uncovering what they're capable of!

Joanne helps you to probe your mind for the information you have been looking for while having a great coaching experience. Her wisdom and knowledge, not unlike that of the Buddha, helps to maneuver you to the right path in your life. She does not give up even is she is not familiar with the territory and you can rely on her to bring out information you did not realize was there. Joanne and I were able to bring more clarity to my life and along with it, the comfort of knowing what I did not know. Absolutely wonderful!

Joanne was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, personable, and always uplifting. As an introvert in a predominantly extroverted world, it is easy for me to become frustrated and to feel misunderstood by others lots of times. However, Joanne always made sure she was with me every step of the way, acknowledging and empathizing with many of my thoughts and experiences, and it helped immensely that she was able to relate to the ways of introverts. Whenever I drifted too far from my core and stepped into the muddled zones of self-doubt and confusion, Joanne was there to remind me of my values and to steer me in a direction that would help me gain a sense of clarity. I have the utmost confidence that Joanne works wonderfully with all personality types, but personally for me-- especially as a young 20-something y/o woman who is just starting out in the real world--to be able to be coached by a fellow introvert like Joanne, who herself has accomplished so much in life, was incredibly comforting, inspiring and reassuring.
