    Working with Diane has changed my life in such an incredible way. I was feeling as though I was…read moremissing something within myself I could not place my fingers on. After working with Diane, she put together the perfect Gem Essence Tincture for me. Trusting myself was not something I was taught or felt could happen for me. I feel whole for the first time in my life and it is a direct result of working with Diane. Her kindness, caring and passion were a delight to be around. Working with Diane to be here where I am today is such a gift. 100% recommend Diane! It is one of the best things that has happened to me this year! Thank you, Diane!

I've been in the trenches, and I've learned to stop wasting time measuring up to other people's success instead of tapping into my "inner knowing" the truth of what's right for me and my life. Your "inner wisdom" is your ability to navigate all of life's demands and come out the other side, rejuvenated, happy, and enjoying life. I can help you tune in to your inner truth, in addition to putting the steps in place to build the life you desire.

In addition, I draw from my life journey, including owning multiple successful businesses and 18 years of coaching, to provide practical guidance for women ready to take the first steps to change their lives.

    Jo-e has done more for me than any health professional I've seen, combined…read more She's played the roles of therapist, health counselor and life coach for me all at the same time. I was in one of my cycles of depression when I saw someone recommend her in a facebook group. I've been seeing her for a year since then and my mental state and health have improved immensely. My deep depression has not come back since seeing her and when I feel myself inching back to that place I schedule a session with Jo-e and one hour later I feel like I've gotten a tune-up and more tools to use in my life. We've been working on my generalized anxiety and stress management over time. She's worked with me diligently on my health, which is what she proved was important to work on first. I had been exhausted to the point of tears for about 8-9 years with no answers on how to fix it from any doctors. One doctor told me "most women are tired". Anyway, after adding carefully selected vitamins and supplements to my schedule, changing some habits and new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety, I had relief for the first time and actually had energy. I stopped the vitamins suddenly at one point and the exhaustion came back. We've continued to work on my sinuses and digestion, as well. She knows her stuff. Jo-e also helped me establish a better foundation for my marriage and I think saved us from a lot of turbulence in the future by helping me find stability and a healthier way of expressing myself. My mom told me "I finally got back my daughter from before" and she was referring to my happy and positive self from before I was 13 years old (I'm 29 now, for reference)! Thank you for helping me be more "me", Jo-e.

    5 Stars just isn't enough! Jo-e deserves more!…read more Before I met Jo-e, I seen about 3 or 4 therapist about depression, anxiety and family trauma. Those session were ok, but it was nothing like the sessions I had with Jo-e. When it comes to opening up about your personal life, it can be difficult to be vulnerable and trust someone with your life problems. From the first session I knew Jo-e was my go to personal health/life coach! I was finally comfortable opening up and expressing my personal mental health problems to someone. When it came to sessions, Jo-e always dug deep into my roots to see where exactly my problems sprouted from. Me, being a direct person, she always made sure to tell me what I NEEDED to hear not what I WANTED to hear. We started working on the food I ate and what I put into my body to fuel my soul. You wouldn't want to put cheap gas into a Ferrari would you? Exactly. I focused on eating cleaner which gave me the energy the get through my daily activities and not be so drained at the end of my day. The type of ENERGY I'm talking about it MENTAL ENERGY. I literally felt better MENTALLY, just by eating cleaner food. Food is one thing, but we also focused on being in the present. Jo-e guided me in practicing mediating, gratitude, and living my life at this very second. Not living in the past nor living in the future. She gave me the tools and exercises to work with that I would have never even thought about on my own. I started from having it all, but being miserable at the same time. I had an amazing career in the aerospace industry, but hated life. Great Job, benefits, medical insurance, stocks, everything you name it. My personal time was very limited and depression came along, so I reached out to Jo-e. I was single for the longest time, thinking love wasn't meant for me. I had a passion in Film/Photography, but was too scared to make the life changing risk. Jo-e was my quarterback to get through this depression. I practiced everything she taught me, ate most of what she recommended to me, and most of all practiced and accepted that I am enough. I'm enough for myself, others and the world. Today, I'm a freelance videographer, I live life on my own time, I having a beautiful girlfriend that I love, I eat cleaner, and my mental health is better than it has EVER, ever been before. Do I need to say more? Mic Drop....

    I was afraid of therapy, I was afraid of being over medicated. I had a lot of fears, I had a lot of…read morepre-expectations. I was afraid that I would get someone that just wanted to push pills on me. Afraid of a big stooge for big pharma. What I found instead was a psychiatric nurse practitioner (I hope I got that right) That explains to me what he's prescribing and why, making sure that I understand it before moving forward. I always feel like I'm in control of my own treatment and I never feel pressured and I always feel welcome and comfortable. Mike has made me feel comfortable and alleviated all my fears, and I never even had to state them to him, he's just a chill guy on top of being good at the medicine aspect of mental health. The whole office he works out of his very professional and it comes highly recommended by me.

    Run! First, he is…read morelate for the appointment. He begins by getting stuck on my last name and what famous actor has my name? I try to move him along and now he wants my address, telephone number, family history, etc. I reply that I filled all of that information out in the intake packet, did he not receive it? I have a copy with me. Apparently I'm the only person in the room prepared for this appointment. He says something like he doesn't look at it because he likes to make up his own mind. That's fine, but maybe don't ask me and fill it in yourself later because it doesn't give me a great first impression. We're here to get someone to manage my daughter's medication. We've moved here from out of state and she's taking some medication a developmental pediatrician typically oversees. Apparently in Salem, there aren't any developmental pediatricians so we were told to look for a mental health nurse practitioner. I should have read the reviews here first and not wasted our time. Next, he asks questions clearly trying to find any improvement or differences and declares you cured. He's known you less than 20 minutes but okay. Convenient for his upcoming statements about his patient cure rates. He draws on a write erase board he keeps propping up on a chair but when you press for more information he's got anecdotal evidence or nothing. He's wildly unprepared and even his plugged in computer is having issues. Too bad he can't cure it. Long story short, he doesn't believe in pharmaceuticals and is only interested in curing everything with diet, vitamins and lithium. Lots of his patients are on lithium and successful with it. You don't need a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or anything for him to prescribe this because it's on the periodic table so it's okay. You just start with one pill and work your way up until you feel good. He goes on to say that it'll be hard to know when you feel good/normal because you probably haven't before. Oh and no worries he will gladly up it anytime like in winter for seasonal affective disorder even though you don't have that either. The state also requires him to test your blood when you're on lithium but he doesn't know why and thinks it's dumb. Speaking of blood, he knows about blood tests that other people don't know about. How does no one else know? I'm betting it's because they're not based on any real evidence or facts. When he gets those bloodwork results, he can cure depression, anxiety, autism, just about anything really. Yay! Let's all get on this dangerous crazy train and see where it goes! If you're still not sure you want to join him, you should know he's had an 80% success rate with his patients but he has nothing showing that fact either. His office is cluttered but his bookshelf has empty shelves. Weirdly, nothing he refers to and wants to show you is among the clutter. My guess, because it doesn't actually exist. It's a really strange experience meeting with him because he isn't interested in why you're there in the first place. He actively moves the conversation away from that. Instead, he has this canned spiel he's trying to sell you on whether it relates to you and your particular situation or not. If you try to play along and he spouts specifics not relevant to your situation, he says outlandish things like he can cure autism. I don't know how he's still practicing or how he has any good reviews? If I diagnosed him, which why not- I have opinions too, I'd say he's ADHD and could really use some pharmaceuticals to help with his executive functioning, organization, listening and presentation skills. He's just off on tangents and then works his way back to his canned non scientific opinions. He doesn't perform any diagnostic tests or even refer to the established criteria for his opinions. He just says whatever comes to mind. I really hope if you or your child have a neurodiverse diagnosis that you don't buy the snake oil he's selling. Please do better by yourself and your family by going to see someone actually familiar and experienced with your diagnosis . I truly believe he is dangerous and does more harm than good. I strongly suggest someone in authority to do something about this guy. I'll say it again, run don't walk away. You've been warned.
