Education, trainings, certifications
[Pending member intake — additional credentials (school, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, MAPS, Hakomi, breathwork, lineage / traditional training, years practicing) will appear here once the facilitator returns the intake form (spec 121 §8). Per the Ceremonia editorial policy we never fabricate trainings on a facilitator's behalf.]

My approach

What I bring to ceremony

[Pending member intake — ~200 words in this facilitator's own voice. To be drafted by the facilitator and polished by the copywriter. The Ceremonia editorial policy explicitly forbids fabricating philosophy, modality preferences, or lineage claims on a facilitator's behalf. Until this paragraph is returned via the intake form (spec 121 §8), this placeholder remains visible so the page never silently invents a voice.]

Where I specialize

Conditions and journeys I lead

Specialty conditions / focus

[Pending member intake, specialty conditions / focus areas (5–10 short bullets) will appear here once the facilitator returns the intake form (spec 121 §8).]

Journeys I facilitate

No upcoming journeys assigned yet, check the /journeys page for current cohorts.

How I got here

Jo Ann's story

[Pending member intake — ~300 word origin story in first person. To be drafted by the facilitator and polished by the copywriter. Why this work, what brought you here, what you carry into ceremony. Per the Ceremonia editorial policy, we do not fabricate facilitator origin stories. This placeholder remains visible until the facilitator returns the intake form (spec 121 §8). The hub page's credential transparency block already names what we know publicly — this section will fill in the personal context the facilitator chooses to share.]

What alumni say about working with Jo Ann

    Dr. James P.

    Psychiatrist · Denver, CO

  • “I expected a peak experience. What I got was a whole new operating system — and a community that's still with me a year later.”
