About JoAnn

I was raised in San Diego in the fifties and sixties. I grew up loving the outdoors and being physical. I loved the ocean and as soon as I could drive I started going to the beach to surf. In the late sixties I went to Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo and I ended up majoring in Physical Education. The motto there was to learn by doing which went well with my kinesthetic learning style. Sports were my interest at that time. I was on the track team, the volleyball team, the powder puff football team and surfed in my spare time. I ended up getting a California Life Teaching Credential in Physical Education and Art.

In 1971, I moved to Ukiah, California where I landed my first teaching job. I had a temporary position teaching physical education, and also coached volleyball, basketball, and track. At the end of the school year the teacher that I was taking the place for came back and I was out of a full time job. Then I started teaching through the adult school in Ukiah. Over a period of several years I taught physical fitness to women and seniors, stress management and aerobic dancing. I started having children, and so I taught an exercise class for pregnant women. I loved living in the country and didn’t want to move back to an urban area. I wasn’t able to get a full-time teaching job, so I got in to sales: automobile sales; in-home sales; and I was a Xerox representative. In the eighties, I studied Science of Mind and became a practitioner. I also wrote a newspaper column called Minders for a couple of years. It was about how to use affirmations in one’s life. I also became a rebirther.

In the mid-eighties I was able to get a teaching job in the public schools–finally. I taught one year of elementary school (which wasn’t my cup of tea); one year as a temporary teaching physical education in a middle school; seven years teaching/running the Young Parent Program at Ukiah High School; twelve years teaching art at Ukiah High School. I retired from public school teaching in 2006.
In my late thirties I noticed that I had a problem hitting an overhand serve and also hitting a spike in volleyball. People told me that it was old age. I couldn’t believe that. I later found that I had lyme disease (I had been bitten by numerous ticks over the decades). My last couple of years teaching at the high school level was difficult. I had a lot of trouble with my memory. I ended up cutting back to working sixty percent of the time–that was all I could handle.

A couple of years ago, I ran across EFT again. I had come across it earlier, and didn’t like what I thought was negative languaging. In the summer of 2005, I was holding my infant god-daughter, Kamala. She weighed less than ten pounds, and several times I felt as though I was about to drop her. It was a wake up call for me. In less than a year, my son and his wife were going to have a baby–my grand daughter. I imagined holding her a lot, and I didn’t want to drop her. I used EFT to help me to exercise daily, to get back into shape (so to speak). When Tessa, our grand daughter, was born, I was ready to hold her without feeling as though I was going to drop her. It was EFT to my rescue!!! I have also used EFT to help me with my memory.

I learned EFT by studying the videos that Gary Craig sells, and reading thousands of EFT accounts. There are lots of inexpensive materials available to study. Then I practiced using it on everyone who would let me. One of the things I really love about EFT is how easy it is to learn. I love Gary Craig’s newsletter, and if you are interested in learning EFT I would recommend it most highly.
