"Healing lives with holistic, compassionate care"
ABOUT JOANNA HERMANO, PT, AC:
I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Therapy, a Master of Science degree in Physiotherapy, and a Diploma in Transpersonal Counselling Psychology. I have also pursued various continuing education courses to further my skills in the assessment and treatment of orthopedic injuries, as well as to explore the mind-body connection to healing.
I am a proud mom and enjoy travel, yoga, playing piano and singing, growing veggies in my back yard, hiking with my labradoodle Ziggy, and camping with my family.
COUNSELLING SERVICES:
(to book a counselling session, please e-mail me directly at [email protected])
I am here to listen to you, to truly hear you, and to remain open-minded and curious. You can bring all aspects of yourself and your struggles to the session and will be met with compassion and empathy. I aim to support and encourage you, and to challenge you where appropriate. And my wish is that you may gain valuable awareness, experience a new perspective, and/or experience meaningful positive change in your life.
If any of the following descriptions apply to your life, then you could benefit from therapeutic counselling:
• feeling stuck, lacking joy, or unsatisfied with aspects of yourself or your life
• relationship difficulties or feeling disconnected from others
• stressed, anxious or overwhelmed
• grieving a loss of any kind or dealing with a life transition
• out of alignment with your life purpose
• longstanding physical pain that has not responded to treatments
• interest in personal growth and broadening your self-awareness
I truly believe that we all have the ability to heal, and enjoy helping my clients realize this potential.
I currently offer therapeutic counselling sessions in an online format only. This allows you to experience the benefits of counselling from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere in the world.
PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES:
(to book a physio session, please call Thrive Physio at 905-524-0000)
I currently provide physio services on a part-time basis at Thrive Physio. Sessions are always one-on-one for the entire session. I love helping my clients break through barriers to achieve new levels of well-being and quality of life, particularly those living with pain or physical dysfunction associated with the following conditions:
• fibromyalgia
• back pain
• neck pain with or without headaches
• stress
• postural issues
• chronic pain syndromes
• arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
• repetitive strain injuries
• sciatic pain
• and more
I integrate both traditional and alternative interventions such as manual therapy for joints and soft tissues, rehabilitative exercise, therapeutic taping, modalities, acupuncture, stress-reduction techniques and client education to create my own unique style of care addressing the whole person; body, mind and spirit.
