Psychology Coaching Sessions

$175 Initial Session, $125/hr

Details

Psychology Coaching with Joan is for caregivers, busy professionals, and anyone in the “messy middle” of life who feels stretched thin yet deeply caring. Together, you’ll slow the mental spin, calm your nervous system, and reconnect head and heart so you can move from anxious and on-edge to feeling more grounded, clear, and at ease in your everyday life.

Joan blends evidence-based psychology with mind-body tools like HeartMath® heart-brain coherence practices and subconscious belief change work (including Psych-K®). In each session, you’ll explore where you are now, clarify where you want to be, and collaborate on small, doable steps to help you get there. Coaching with Joan is growth and wellness-focused.

Expectations

Sessions are collaborative, conversational, and paced to meet you where you are. You can expect to be deeply heard, gently guided to see what’s really driving your stress, and supported in choosing simple practices or shifts to try between sessions.

Please plan for a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. You don’t need to show up “put together” just come as you are, with a willingness to pause, notice, and care for yourself.

Employee Well-Being Sessions

Details

Employee Well-Being Sessions are confidential, non-clinical 1:1 support sessions designed to support the human behind the role – helping employees feel steadier, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in real life.

Employees simply need a safe, trusted space to process what they are carrying with someone who is outside their workplace structure. Someone who can serve as a calm, objective thought partner while helping them reconnect with clarity, perspective, and steadiness.

Expectations

The structure of my sessions is intentionally simple.

Organizations purchase a monthly block of sessions to offer their entire staff. Employees schedule directly through a confidential link whenever support is needed. Sessions are available to the entire team, including leadership.

Employees schedule their own sessions directly with Joan, and all conversations are confidential. Business owners receive high-level usage information (such as how many sessions were used in a given period), but never who attended or what was discussed.

During sessions, employees can expect a calm, non-judgmental space to talk through what they’re carrying, explore what’s driving their stress, and leave with a few simple practices to apply right away whether that’s before a difficult conversation, after a long shift, or in the quiet moments at home. Over time, this support can help your team feel more balanced, less depleted, and better able to focus, communicate, and contribute at work.

Employees will need a quiet, private space for their session (in-person or virtual) and a willingness to show up as they are, no preparation or perfection required.

HeartMath® Coaching

$125/hr

Details

HeartMath® Coaching with Joan helps you calm your nervous system, think more clearly, and respond to life with greater ease. Using HeartMath’s heart-brain coherence tools and simple breath-based practices, you’ll learn how to shift out of stress states like anxiety, overwhelm, and frustration into more renewing emotions such as ease, appreciation, and compassion.

Together, you’ll look at your current stress patterns, practice coherence-building techniques in session, and design tiny, realistic practices you can use in real time before a tough conversation, between meetings, or at the end of your day. Over time, clients often notice more emotional balance, better focus, and a deeper sense of inner steadiness.

Subconscious Belief Change Session

$175/1.5 hr Session

Details

This session is designed to help you shift subconscious beliefs that may be quietly fueling stress, self-doubt, or feeling “stuck.” Using gentle, permission-based processes (including Psych-K® and other mind-body tools), Joan supports you in updating the inner stories you hold about yourself around worthiness, caregiving, success, money, or other meaningful areas of your life.

You’ll identify a specific area you’d like to transform, explore the beliefs that may be operating underneath the surface, and then work together to install new, supportive beliefs that align with how you want to feel and live. Many clients describe these sessions as calm, surprising, and deeply freeing.

Expectations

You don’t need to arrive with a clear list of beliefs to change. Instead, we start with a conversation about where you are now, where you’d like to be, and what feels hard or “stuck.” Through your words, stories, and how you describe your experiences, we gently uncover the roadblocks and subconscious beliefs that may be operating underneath the surface.

The process is customized and collaborative. Many clients discover that what they thought was the core belief isn’t actually the deepest layer, and that insight alone can feel relieving and freeing. Sessions are relaxed and conversational; you remain fully conscious and in control throughout. A quiet, private space and an open, curious mindset will help you get the most from this work.

Reiki Energy Healing

$125

Details

Reiki with Joan is a gentle, calming energy healing session designed to help you slow down, release tension, and return to a steadier internal baseline, especially if you’re feeling emotionally depleted, overstimulated, or carrying stress in your body. Reiki supports the whole person (mind, body, emotions, and spirit) and is often experienced as deeply relaxing and restoring.

Common benefits clients seek and often notice include:

Less stress and anxiety a calmer, quieter nervous system
Release of built-up tension and a greater sense of ease in the body
Improved sleep or an easier time “turning off” at night
Emotional balance feeling less reactive, more steady and grounded
Clarity and perspective when you’re feeling stuck, heavy, or scattered
A renewed sense of connection to yourself—more centered, supported, and open

Reiki is a non-invasive, restful experience. Many clients notice a sense of warmth, calm, subtle sensations, emotional softening, or simply deep relaxation. Every session is different, there’s no “right” way to feel it.

Please plan for a quiet, comfortable space and come as you are—no preparation needed.

Expectations

In session, you’ll rest fully clothed on a massage-style table with soft music, with optional essential oils offered for added comfort. Joan does not place hands directly on you—her hands hover above the body as Reiki energy flows, supporting relaxation, ease, and a sense of inner harmony. Before you settle in, you’re welcome to share what feels off-balance or heavy right now so the session can be held with intention. Afterward, you’ll have space to reflect on anything you noticed—sensations in the body, emotional shifts, a calmer state, or a new perspective. Sessions are quiet and spacious, offering your nervous system a chance to settle.

Coherent Heart, Coherent Mind Program

$895.50 Paid in Full Upfront

Details

Coherent Heart, Coherent Mind is a structured five-session, 1:1 coaching series for people who want more than a single session and appreciate having a clear path to follow. It’s ideal if you know you need support but struggle to “just keep booking sessions” or to stay consistent on your own. This program gives you a set container – time, focus, and intention – to create real, steady change.

Across five 90-minute sessions (typically every other week), you’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, shift out of overwhelm, and bring your heart and mind into better alignment so your inner signals and outer actions match. We start by mapping where you are now and where you want to be, then move through essentials like heart-focused breathing, emotional regulation, updating limiting beliefs with tools PSYCH-K®, and creating a personal plan you can actually maintain. You leave with a practical regulation toolkit, updated inner beliefs that support your next chapter, and clearer, more confident momentum.

Expectations

Sessions are 90 minutes, scheduled about every two weeks to give you time to integrate what you’re learning. In each session, you can expect a mix of check-in and conversation, guided heart-focused practices, simple “state-to-story” awareness work (how your emotional state shapes your thoughts), and gentle subconscious belief change processes when appropriate.

Between sessions, you’ll receive light, doable practices such as short coherence exercises, reflection prompts, or small behavior shifts to help you build new patterns without feeling overwhelmed. You don’t need to come in with perfectly defined goals or beliefs; the process itself helps reveal what’s underneath and where you’re truly ready to shift. A quiet, private space to reflect and a willingness to show up for yourself over these five sessions will help you get the most benefit from this program.

Bio

Psychology Coach

Joan Gilbert, founder of Mindfulness with Joan, is a psychology coach dedicated to helping caregivers, busy professionals, and anyone in the “messy middle” of life move from surviving to thriving. She blends evidence-based psychology with holistic mind-body practices—drawing on powerful tools like Psych-K and HeartMath—to guide clients in transforming chaos into lasting calm. With Joan, practical, sustainable strategies replace overwhelm, supporting clients to navigate life’s waves with greater ease, resilience, and joy.

With genuine compassion and wisdom gained from her own life experiences, Joan creates a space for authentic connection and growth. She understands the weight carried by nurturers and those in the “sandwich generation” and is passionate about helping them rediscover their inner balance amidst life’s demands. Her MBA and Master’s in Health Psychology create a strong, unique foundation, allowing Joan to integrate proven psychological principles with intuitive coaching for a personalized, client-centered process. She views struggles like anxiety as temporary experiences—not fixed labels—empowering you to see change as possible.

What sets Joan apart is her flexible methodology that doesn’t follow a rigid protocol. Instead, she partners with you, using reflective listening and intuitive guidance to identify which techniques will fit best in your real life. Her methods are designed to create small but significant shifts that help you regulate your nervous system and respond to life with intention rather than reaction. One client, for example, found himself weighed down and stuck. After a single session with Joan, he experienced a life-changing shift, allowing him to move forward and later return for a “reset.” Stories like this highlight Joan’s commitment to equipping clients with practical self-sufficiency, and being a supportive presence whenever needed.

Working with Joan means moving from a place of anxiousness to one of real peace and abundance. She specializes in helping people pause, breathe, and feel connected—head and heart—before responding to life’s challenges. Every session with Joan is an opportunity to build your toolkit with accessible, everyday strategies. As you gain confidence and clarity, you’ll find new ways to embrace both the small joys and big transitions along your journey.
