She is a firm believer that in order to truly minimize the recurrence of symptoms, the body should be assessed and treated as a whole in order to identify the true source of the problem.

Joanna has always been a very active individual. Growing up, she was a competitive gymnast, and currently her summers are very busy with her women’s and co-ed SPN slo-pitch teams and various ultimate frisbee teams.
