About Me

Home: Hope

I'm Joelle Fanciullo, a licensed social worker and holistic psychotherapist.  From early on in life, I have been fascinated by the mind-body connection and looking for ways to help others.   Today, my gift to clients is a wealth of knowledge and personal experience in the suffering and healing of deep emotional, physical, and spiritual wounds.  I've had quite the journey so far.

My Path in Healing
​
I've been curious about the body and what happens inside it for as long as I can remember.  As a kid, I remember frequently horrifying my parents as I watched surgeries on television, dreaming of treating ailments the same way one day.
​
Then, when I was in high school, I experienced debilitating, long-term sports injuries and a dramatic decline in my quality of life.  My relationship with my body soon turned self-destructive.  Yoga became a sort of magical solution for me, allowing me to transcend my pain, and I wanted to understand why.

I went on to study the mind-body connection, including the neuroscience and spirituality behind it.  Early into my studies, I learned...

  1. The body holds memories from past stress, and these memories affect us in the present.

  2. Long-term healing comes from within the self.

  3. Most of us can use some guidance to get to self-healing.  

​

I decided that I wanted to empower people with the tools for their own self-healing of body memories, rather than work as a medical doctor.   Over many years, I continued to learn through multiple degrees and time on both sides of the therapy room.  Today, I bring my lessons in mind-body healing to my clients in private practice.

 

My scars have given me access to immense power, because I now know how to pay attention to them.
