​

                                     Hi, I am Joanie, the driven owner and founder of Proteawell. I am                                        interested in wellness (making choices to promote health),                                              philosophy (approach to life and decision-making), and art                                                (creativity and expression), and how they contribute towards                                      health, which I will explore in my role as a lifestyle, health, and                                  wellness education. 

​

Professional Experience: I have a master's degree in Nursing Education. I spent four years in a PhD program focusing on social identity threat and healthcare experiences based on phenotypes (e.g., skin tone differences), with a qualitative research emphasis (phenomenology).

​

Clinical Experience: I have more than three years of academic teaching experience teaching undergraduate nursing students and other healthcare career courses, and more than ten years of clinical (nephrology, intermediate care, trauma, and telemetry) nursing experience. I am a certified yoga instructor and have completed additional training in restorative yoga. I recently became a kidney health coach.​​​​​

 

 My professional experiences have allowed me to work closely with many healthcare recipients (patients) and healthcare professionals, and I look forward to being a part of your wellness journey.​
