Leigh’s 12week Intensive 1on1 Journey

The Word says, “Pride comes before a fall.” I was standing in my kitchen one morning and felt a tug on my heart, and I heard, “Call Jo-Anne.”

I called her with tears streaming down my face and said, “I’m putting my pride in my pocket and I’m asking you to help me. I don’t want to feel stuck anymore!”

I signed up for the 12-week intensive coaching, and by the third week of the coaching I experienced a profound sense of change and healing. During the coaching session of the third week I felt a physical sensation in my brain, around the frontal cortex and on either side, which I experienced as the Holy Spirit bringing healing and restoration.

In the process I learnt incredible grounding exercises from Jo-Anne. She has an incredible gift for showing one how to recognise the lies we believe and how to reframe them with the truth of scripture. She gives practical examples of how to do this. I learnt to stop and recognise patterns as they showed up, rather than simply being caught up in them.

During one of the coaching sessions, while working through deep trauma, I was finally able to forgive myself for all the pain I had been carrying from being deeply wounded and abused as a child.

God is still in the business of healing and restoration. He is just waiting for us to say, “Okay Lord, I let go of my pride and I want to be changed.”

Jo-Anne is incredibly gifted at what she does, and it is her heart to see people walking in freedom. I will forever be grateful for the gift of a sound mind and for helping me see that I have this in Jesus.

He’s not done with me yet, but I’m so excited to see what else the Lord does!
