Why I Created This Program
A note from Joanna
Counsellor and Founder, Living Well with GLP-1
I created this program for women who want more than just weight loss. You want to feel calm, strong and at home in your own body.
Whether you're just starting GLP-1, have been using it for a while, or thinking about transitioning off, this space is here for you. Together we work with the deeper layers: trust, values, habits and identity.
My GLP-1 Journey
I've walked this path.
I lost 30 kilos naturally and kept it off for six years. Then, after a difficult season, I regained the weight and started exploring GLP-1. With the right support and mindset tools, I lost it again. But what shifted most was my relationship with myself.
For me, this work is about coming home. Not to a number, but to a life that feels aligned and kind.
I bring together everything that helped me along the way: counselling, mindfulness, breathwork, evidence-informed tools and a deep respect for each woman's story.
Backed by Research, Held with Care
GLP-1 medications are supported by strong clinical evidence showing improvements in weight, metabolic health and cardiovascular risk. But research also shows we need more than medication to sustain change.
In this program we use therapeutic approaches including ACT, mindfulness and values-based tools to build resilience and support you for the long run.
You don't have to do this alone. I'm here to walk alongside you.
