about me
Hi, I’m Joanna (Jiyun 지윤) — a second-generation Korean American devoted to the journey of presence, authenticity, and healing.
My path has been shaped by the quiet weight of straddling cultures, identities, and unspoken expectations — a lived experience that deeply informs the work I now share with others. As an artist and musician, I’ve come to understand healing as an inherently creative process.
Through nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and gentle inner inquiry, I support others in reconnecting with their bodies, their voices, and their truth.
I’m especially passionate about supporting Asian Americans in:
Reconnecting with their authentic self
Bridging complex cultural identities
Making meditation and mindfulness safe, accessible, and culturally attuned
I also hold space for artists, musicians, and creative beings—especially those who’ve grown up navigating between cultures or identities—to find home in their bodies, voice, and artistic expression. My work blends somatic healing, nervous system care, and presence-based practices to help you reclaim your truth and create from a place of grounded wholeness.
My hope is to support you in coming home to yourself.
my approach
I blend evidence-based coaching with somatic and nervous system tools to support healing, resilience, and sustainable wellbeing. My work is trauma-aware, mindful of cultural identity, and grounded in presence, compassion, and body-based wisdom.
Whether you're working toward a specific health goal or seeking deeper emotional balance, we’ll focus on:
Regulating stress and emotional overwhelm
Reconnecting with your body and inner voice
Bridging cultural identity and personal authenticity
Building sustainable habits that support your health and wholeness
This work meets you where you are — gently, intentionally — and honors your pace, your story, and your nervous system.
