Meet Joanna Saunders

Arno Ma Atlanta Hypnotherapist

For much of my life, I sought answers and fulfillment outside myself, feeling trapped by anxiety and depression. My journey toward healing began when I realized true transformation must come from within. Through self-development, holistic practices, and eventually hypnosis and NLP, I discovered the immense power of the subconscious mind to reprogram limiting beliefs, break negative habits, and create lasting change.


Now, as a Registered Nurse, Holistic Coach, and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, I guide clients in overcoming anxiety, releasing shame and guilt, and stepping into their most authentic selves. I use proven methods to empower healing and transformation, rooted in my own journey and training.

I trained as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist under Sean Wheeler at Pure Hypnosis Institute in Atlanta. I’m also a Licensed Specialist of Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning, under Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP. My unique approach combines my healthcare background with holistic tools to create meaningful, lasting results for my clients.

I’m thrilled to share my transformative experience with Joanna, an exceptional hypnosis expert. The time we spend together during our sessions is truly invaluable, and the recordings I receive afterwards reinforce the positive changes in my life.
Our focused, personalized sessions have led to remarkable outcomes. After just a month of working with Joanna, I lost 15 pounds. Her ability to tailor our time together to my specific health goals made the process feel natural and achievable.

The leadership-focused sessions also had a profound impact on my professional life. Just two weeks after our work together, I received a promotion!

What sets Joanna apart is her dedication during our sessions. She listens attentively, adjusts her approach based on my feedback, and ensures our time together is perfectly aligned with my needs.
The effectiveness of our hypnosis sessions has been incredible, and I can’t recommend the experience highly enough for anyone seeking positive change.

Before I started with Joanna in hypnotherapy, I was out of ideas as to how to jumpstart my life. I had been dealing with depression for quite a bit of time. I had tried everything when it came to health/diet. I went to therapy to work on personal issues. On the outside, my life looked great. But, I was dealing with ‘stuff’, much like a good majority of people.

Working with Joanna has been life changing. In our discussions, Joanna has asked me such profound questions that I had never asked myself. She helped me pinpoint where I was holding myself back. She identified areas of my life that needed my attention if I wanted to produce change and facilitate success. Also, through our hypnotherapy sessions, she enabled significant change in my life, in terms of how I view and value myself, in terms of how I present myself to others, and more. Plus, the hypnotherapy sessions are very relaxing!

My confidence in myself and my confidence in my ability to make decisions have improved significantly. I am now not letting fear prevent me from taking chances or simply living my life in a much more adventurous, fun way. I also feel like my nervous system is in better balance, and that makes me a better mom, daughter, and professional. I’ve learned that I do not need to make apologies for myself. I do not need to sacrifice or make myself smaller to meet others’ needs or to make others feel better.
I would recommend Joanna’s services to anyone who feels stuck or like they are spinning their wheels. I would recommend Joanna’s services to anyone I feel doesn’t recognize the true value of who they are and what they offer to the world.

Prior to each session, Joanna allowed me the opportunity to vent about anything occurring in my present life so you knew what we should focus on for our session. This truly helped me more than words can express as it allowed me to focus on my emotions for that present moment and be able to move past that in a positive way so I was left feeling less negative energy and with more positivity. I remember one particular session we discussed an unfortunate incident I had with a previous coworker, and it was really bothering me to the point where I was feeling angry and not wanting to forgive her. You were able to conduct such a powerful session where I imagined I was talking to her and forgave her for my own peace of mind, and as we did this practice together I was able to release all this anger I felt and was ready to feel more at peace.

Joanna also led another session where you allowed me the opportunity to imagine myself successful a few years from now and I was able to think about things I would like for myself and future practice. This gave me so much to think about and challenged me in a positive way. It was also a nice distraction from my current daily stressors of school and work. I appreciated this very much. Joanna truly has a gift of allowing others to feel they can be vulnerable with you and choosing the best way to help them for not only that moment, but the future as well. There were times when we worked together I also felt you had great intuition about my needs, and that is also a wonderful gift you have to offer.

I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone who is seeking peace and mindfulness practices tailored to their needs. She is very kind and challenges you in a positive way to get the most out of your sessions together.
Joanna effectively serves as your guide and is there to help you throughout your journey. Thank you so much Joanna, and I have truly learned so much from you, and I also felt a sense of comfort during our time working together!

Joanna is an incredibly intuitive and attentive listener. She has a gentle, approachable presence that made me completely at ease during our hypnosis sessions.

In one session we revisited a pivotal childhood experience – one that I have long associated with deep shame and a sense of failure. I was hesitant to go there but with her gentle guidance, I was able to see that moment from an entirely new perspective – one filled with empathy and understanding for my younger self.

It was a very profoundly healing experience. I usually pride myself on working through things on my own, but I couldn’t have done this without Joanna.

Whatever you’re looking to work on, I highly recommend her. She’s a gifted hypnotherapist!
