Joan Brooks, Training Director

Joan BrooksAt the end of a day-long workshop with Ilana in 1997, Joan knew that not only would this be the work she’d do for the rest of her life, she also knew in her bones that she would one day teach this work to others. At that time, Joan committed to do whatever it takes to be the best Synergist she could be… and she has. After completing a 4-year certification training, she quickly became a Teaching Intern, and then Faculty.

She has continued to hone and deepen her skills as both Synergist and teacher.

Joan has devoted her life to helping others heal from the wounds and trauma of life. Today, in her private practice, she primarily helps women who have experienced sexual trauma heal so they can step into their full power and take their rightful place in the world.

Understanding the importance of being seen and known as an expert, Joan has extensively studied and trained in how to build a thriving practice. She is delighted to be able to share her knowledge and experience with those in the training program.
