It's so nice to
meet you
I'm a somatic therapist, mentor, teacher and guide. My work brings together nervous system healing, somatic therapy and spiritual practice to support people in understanding themselves more deeply and creating meaningful change in how they live.
I believe you are not a problem to be fixed, but a person to be understood. Beneath the patterns, adaptations and ways of being that have shaped your life, there is more to discover about who you are and how you want to meet the world.
My work meets people where they are, honouring the season of life they find themselves in and what they need from the work at that time. Sometimes, that means navigating trauma, overwhelm or significant change. At other times, it means creating space for deeper self-understanding and discovering new possibilities for how we want to live. I offer somatic therapy, nervous system support and transformational mentorship in Calgary and online.
Over the years, I've followed many paths of inquiry, healing and transformation. My training has spanned somatic and trauma-informed approaches, nervous system work, spiritual frameworks and embodied practices. But my understanding of this work has come not only through formal study, but through living it myself.
I've experienced how deeply our internal patterns can shape our relationships, our choices, our sense of what's possible and our capacity to be present in our lives. I've also experienced what becomes available when we begin to meet those patterns differently.
The work I offer is informed by both professional training and lived experience. I bring these perspectives together to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, reconnect with your own knowing, and find new ways of responding to yourself and the world around you.
I don't believe there is one path to healing or transformation. Each person brings their own history, temperament, sensitivities and possibilities. My role is not to prescribe who you should become, but to help you understand yourself more clearly and create the conditions for change that is meaningful to you.
My approach is trauma-informed, body-based and integrative. I draw on the nervous system, somatic awareness and spiritual inquiry, recognising that meaningful transformation often requires more than intellectual understanding alone.
We work with the body as a source of information and experience, with the patterns that shape how we move through life, and with the parts of ourselves that may be asking for attention, expression or change.
The intention is not to become someone else. It's to develop a deeper relationship with who you are, to live with greater freedom and agency, and to participate more fully in the life you're creating.

Hi, i'm Joanna Haines
My Approach
My Path
My work draws on a range of professional trainings, therapeutic approaches and spiritual practices, including:
These approaches inform my work, but no two sessions or journeys are the same. I draw on what is most relevant to the person and the work in front of me.
I remain devoted to my own learning, healing and expansion. Not because I believe we ever arrive at a final, perfected version of ourselves, but because the work of being human continues to unfold.
I'm interested in the intersection of the practical and the profound: how we regulate and inhabit our bodies, how we understand ourselves, how we relate to the unseen dimensions of life, and how all of this finds expression in the way we actually live.
It is a privilege to accompany people through that process — to offer a space where they can be met with care, see themselves in new ways, and discover what becomes possible from there.
I'm glad you're here.

I believe in balance and living a life that inspires me. My work is a place to be creative. Spring and summer are my seasons. I ski, scuba dive, practise yoga, hike and dance. I'm equally at home in a deep conversation and on a dance floor. I'm honest — sometimes overly so. Dinner parties are a favourite, but travelling might be my favourite. I'm a proud mum, part of a big family, and I've lived in London, Thailand and the Middle East. Calgary is home for now, but one day I'll live in Europe again. I'm endlessly curious about what makes us who we are, and I respect the practical and the mystical. Hot drinks are life. So are Margs. I'm a daydreamer and a prolific Googler. There’s still so much I want to explore, create and experience. I’m interested in a lot of things, and I like it that way.
