PROTEAWELL FOUNDER & CEO

Hi, I am Joanie, the driven owner and founder of Proteawell.

I have included my personal and professional experiences

for those who are interested in knowing about my background. However, my role at Proteawell is to be your biggest cheerleader, as I help you navigate challenges and opportunities.

My Personal Story

Let me tell you a little about my story… Once upon a time, I had thought that societal issues would disappear with an education and a career. The more societal issues I witnessed or experienced, the harder I pushed and marched onward academically and professionally, which led to burnout. While I recognized pursuing professional development is important, I realized I had it all wrong, I could not pour out of an empty cup. I needed to focus also on my personal development. Through self-reflection, I learned that the way to make a difference is by starting with inward healing and self-betterment, we are then equipped to move outward to face and address societal issues, which can lead to reaching our goals and aspirations. So here I am with a burning desire to share my journey with you and help you reclaim your space.

My Professional Experiences

I am presently a Phd Student who is interested in exploring (qualitatively) social identity issues.

I have a masters in nursing education with more than three years of academic teaching experience and more than eight years of clinical nursing experience.

I am a certified yoga instructor, and completed additional training in restorative yoga.

My professional and personal experiences have allowed me to work closely with many healthcare professionals and diverse communities.

Mission

Together, we break cycles of “negative” thought patterns and learn how to live a fulfilling life. We share holistic wellness and personal development practices with our community members. Through increased accessibility to tools our communities often lack, we empower individuals to reclaim their space by practicing self-care and betterment education.

Vision

Connecting. Inspiring. Empowering. Building.

Proteawell strives to be an instrumental part of our communities' healing by sharing the power of self-care.

By connecting, inspiring, and empowering members of our communities, we build resilience to combat adversity.

Together, members of our community will develop skills and tactics to navigate life in a way that honors their past, present, and future selves.

Thank you for making us a part of the community.
