Joanna has worked with the Calliden Group on 3 occasions now to speak to a combined audience of over 200 women about general well being. Our dealings with Joanna from onset have been professional yet executed with utmost simplicity. Joanna has captivated audiences with practical advice and received many compliments along the way. She has taken the time to tailor her tips to suit individuals who have been most grateful for her support. Joanna is a picture of glowing health who is living proof that her beliefs work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanna and will definitely engage in her services again in the future. 10 out of 10 on every level. Calliden Group

Jo McMillan is a breath of fresh air as an MC. Vibrant, witty, well prepared and totally engaging of the audience attending. As an Ambassador to the Foundation, Jo also successfully conveyed to the audience that the function she MCed was a fundraiser, with funds raised on the evening indicating the measure of her success. We thank her very much for her contribution to the Foundation generally, and as a fabulous MC and speaker at our recent White Night Gala Ball, attended by over 200 guests.

Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc.

Joanna's advice on how to improve one's personal well-being through sensible exercise and better nutrition was well received by her audience of Rotarians and their partners at the annual conference. Her pleasant and informed approach to the subject was enthralling and she provided vital information with the right mix of humour and examples from her own life experiences. Joanna's delivery was both stimulating and challenging, such that many in the audience planned to make immediate changes to their own life styles in order to achieve more joy in their life. An excellent presentation!
