“It is with great admiration and extreme pleasure, to recommend Joanne Barian, for her work as a Holistic Psychotherapist/Addiction Specialist/Inspirational Soul Coach.  She has been instrumental in helping to facilitate my healing, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Never have I worked with a more compassionate, kind, accommodating, patient-oriented provider.  Clients and staff love working with Joanne.  She genuinely cares about her clients and will do anything in her power to help them.

Clients who use Joanne’s services through her business, Inner Soul Healing & Recovery Solutions, — therapy, workshops, training, coaching, media or institutions — not only benefit, but also enjoy the overall experience. They often report meaningful changes in their relationships,  accelerated personal growth & professional development, or an organizational shift. They all report gaining a new perspective. Participants are elated about their gains, and many lives have changed for the better as a result of working with Joanne.

I would highly recommend working with Joanne, for Spiritual growth, transformational life changes, addiction related issues, and striving toward discovering your Life Purpose.  She works from the place of not only her mind, but also her heart and Soul.

Gratefully Yours,”

“I have gotten to know Joanne this past year through our professional training with an amazing holistic business coach and life coach.  Joanne offers a unique spiritual approach to addiction recovery.  She has lived this struggle herself, and she overcame her addiction by reaching deep within her soul, doing the brave work of healing her inner wounds, and then using her healing to create a deeply satisfying and meaningful life based on being true to herself and living her mission of helping others.  She personally understands this journey and can lovingly support and guide you through the deeper self-exploration and spiritual work that can make the difference between staying stuck in a life of struggle versus creating a joyful, authentic, and purposeful life that will support true and lasting healing.”

“What I love about Joanne is that she is the “real deal”. When she speaks about her passion for assisting others in the powerful process of transforming their lives, she comes from a place of deep knowing and experience on both a personal and professional level. She embodies deep compassion and has numerous skills and tools for guiding others from a place of frustration and pain into alignment with their unique talents and gifts. Her credo is that “it’s never too late to be what you were meant to become”, and Joanne understands that when a person makes the courageous decision to step forward into changing their life they desire to feel a sense of support, stability and safety. She provides a container of safety and support that allows her clients to open to reconnecting with their spirit self in order to end their struggles, heal their wounds and love themselves as the amazing and unique person that they are meant to be.”

To Whom it my concern,

I am writing this letter on behalf of Joanne “Jo” Barian.  If you believe in God’s intervention this is a friendship that he designed.  I met Jo at work when she and her partner Kathi were looking for pet urns.  I was so impressed with her loving compassion toward Kathi and her effervescent personality.  We started talking about funeral planning and I don’t even know how it happened but I shared with her my son was a heroin addict.  She was so open and shared she was a therapist and in recovery herself.

She gave me her phone number and said if I ever needed to talk she would be there for me.  I tucked her number away.  My husband and I ran into Kathi and Jo a few months later at a restaurant that I had never been to.  I went up to her and said hello…..God put her there for my husband and myself.  She and Kathi joined us for lunch. Jo was so supportive, helpful, knowledgeable, and able to reach out to my husband, who is not the best at talking about our “problems.” Jo started helping my family and was a great support system.  She shared with me the exact same words my son used…..I am unhappy being sober and being high.  She was able to relate her personal experiences from both the addict side as well as from a family side.  Needless to say we became very good friends.  Jo is a devoted friend, partner and family member who loves with her whole heart. I was amazed that my dogs took to her right away…..this is not normal……they even saw the loving woman she is. Jo is also a favorite of Ryan a four year at the nail salon.  She relates well to everyone as a good listener.

I would highly recommend Jo for a therapist position.  She has the whole package.  Jo is continuing to learn and better herself by continuing education.  She is dedicated to her profession and all those she helps.  I remember she took me to an AA/Al-Anon meeting and my family went afterwards.    Anyone would be blessed to have Jo on their staff and I am blessed to have her as a friend.

Sincerely”

“Jo Jo Barian is a dedicated, determined practitioner. She embodies a unique combination of toughness and tenderness, necessary qualities to have in the field of addictions.

Jo has strong convictions to work with the whole family, addressing the issues that lie at the root of the acting out behavior, diminishing shame, and developing and supporting integrity and cohesion within the family unit, whenever possible.”

“I have been delighted to know Jo Ann as a Coaching Colleague through the Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy and Coaching for the past year. Within moments of meeting her– I could sense how deep her commitment to helping individuals on Soul Level Transformational is. Through the year– I have also gotten to learn how Jo Ann’s commitment to transforming those in recovery is fully supported by her own life long journey of soul level growth, life experiences, by her extensive career in Psychotherapy and her own profound transformation. She has lived the path of change– and I see no better individual to help assist those on the journey through recovery and back to the soul– and away from the patterns and hardships of life through old conditioning. I am excited for Jo Ann and all of her future clients– they are fortunate to have her knowledge, wisdom, expertise and her truly passionate committed support. ”

“It is with pleasure that I recommend Joanne Barian as a Holistic Psychotherapist, Addiction Specialist, and Inspirational Life and Soul Coach.  I was a client of hers for 5 years, and I found her personality to be delightful, her instincts and observations to be spot on, and her insight to be very refreshing and inspiring.  I can honestly say with great certainty, that Joanne is not only highly trained as a professional, but has consistently pursued training that has made her a highly competent, highly skilled clinician, as well as a seasoned therapist with unique and diverse experience.

In working with Joanne, I learned the importance of living in the present moment, putting the past to rest, and not to waste precious energy on things that haven’t happened yet in the future.  She has taught me how to find balance in my life, in all areas, which has allowed me to find a life filled with promise, passion and purpose.  Joanne’s warm, loving nature has made me feel more and more comfortable over the years, and this comfort level has allowed me to feel comfortable enough to “unpeel the layers of the onion”, and I have begun the “Inner Core Healing” that had kept me stuck in unhealthy patterns for many years of my life.

I am so grateful for having found Joanne, and I will continue to work with her in the future, as I discover new issues which need to be explored, to create new levels of healing and transformational change.  Thank you Joanne for being a shining light in my life and a beacon of Hope.”

“Joanne brings a sense of comfort, a warm and inviting environment, and a sense of safety, and a nurturing atmosphere, when working with her clients.  Joanne has helped me to decrease my anxiety with holistic breathing techniques, and she has taught me how to become aligned with my SOUL PURPOSE.  I have become in touch with the core of my pain, through Joanne’s therapeutic tools that she explored with me, thus, becoming consciously aware of living in the present moment, and learning to practice mindful awareness.  Joanne has a gift in working with clients, a beautiful and caring nature, a heart of gold, and a Soul that is meant to connect to the pain and suffering of others. I would recommend working with Joanne.  She has been instrumental in my Spiritual journey and in making the necessary changes toward discovering my AUTHENTIC SELF.”
