The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Healing

For over 10 years, Joella has guided people through yoga and meditation, both in local communities and international retreats. These practices are more than physical exercise — they are pathways to presence, self-awareness, and inner peace.

• Yoga strengthens the body, calms the nervous system, and restores balance.

• Meditation cultivates mindfulness, clarity, and deep relaxation.

• Retreats provide immersive opportunities for transformation, self-reflection, and connection with like-minded souls.

A Holistic Approach to Therapy

What sets Joella apart is her integrative method that bridges science, psychology, and ancient healing traditions. In her private practice, she supports clients worldwide through online therapy sessions designed to address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of well-being.

• Somatic Psychotherapy: By tuning into the body’s wisdom, somatic therapy helps uncover stored patterns and unresolved experiences.

• Compassionate Inquiry®: This gentle yet powerful approach, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, invites clients to move beyond surface appearances and connect with their authentic selves.

• Trauma-Informed Practice: Joella creates a safe, compassionate, and person-centered environment, ensuring that clients feel supported as they explore their healing journey.

Healing Beyond the Self

Joella’s philosophy embraces the idea that healing is not an isolated practice. True transformation happens when we connect with the natural rhythms of life and engage in practices that restore harmony within and beyond ourselves.

She highlights that healing emerges through:

• Music and dance

• Nature’s medicine

• Wholesome food

• Creative expression in its many forms

This reflects what Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh called the Insight of Interbeing — the understanding that we are deeply connected with nature, one another, and the universe itself.

Awakening to Wholeness

Beneath layers of conditioning and life’s challenges lies a deeper truth: we are whole and complete beings. Through curiosity, compassion, and consistent practice, each of us can rediscover that wholeness. Joella’s work is dedicated to supporting people on this journey — whether through therapy, yoga, meditation, or retreats.

Healing is not a destination but a continuous unfolding of self-inquiry, awareness, and connection. As Joella shares, it is an honor to hold space for those who are ready to awaken to their true potential and transform their lives.

Wellness is more than a trend — it is a return to the essence of being. By blending somatic psychotherapy, holistic counselling, yoga, meditation, and creative healing practices, Joella offers a transformative path for those seeking balance, peace, and fulfillment.
