By The Way Coaching…
Walking alongside, inspiring, guiding, and offering hope.
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE STATELINE
Serving individuals in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin in person—and supporting clients across the country via Zoom—we’re here to walk alongside you through life’s most tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating major transitions, facing end-of-life realities, or moving through the depths of grief, meaningful support can make all the difference. Together, we create space for healing, clarity, and a sense of sacred direction.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
Our Services
BTW is a great resource to walk alongside you during transition, loss, and the quiet weight of everyday life to reach a sense of peace and to challenge yourself to make the changes you have been dreaming to achieve. We work with you to create a brave and compassionate space, where you can slow down, breathe, and listen deeply to what your soul is saying. A space where meaningful questions are asked, hidden strengths are uncovered, and long-held dreams are gently brought to life. Together, we’ll co-create a new reality that can lead you to new discoveries about your self and the world you inhabit.

I had the chance to work with JoAnna over the course of a year through classes and shared coaching, during a time of transition in my life and career – and I’m so glad I did. As my coach, she brought a thoughtful mix of deep listening, honest questions, and encouraging nudges when I needed them most.

LEAD COACH
Sourdough baking, soap making, sewing vintage clothing, and pastoring a small but scrappy church have all taught me something about life, death, and the beauty in between. I’m a coach who walks with people through transitions—whether you’re navigating change, facing the end of life, or moving through grief. I believe deeply in the sacredness of each person’s journey and the wisdom of the Spirit of the Divine. Let’s partner together to gently explore where you’re being called next, with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
Hold space for your inner self to breathe, grow, and heal.
