Meet Joni Woods

Joni Woods, founder of Journey Coaching

As the founder of Journey Coaching, I specialize in guiding clients through personal growth, relational healing, and values-based leadership.

After navigating my own journey through divorce and rebuilding, I discovered that healing isn't linear—but it is possible. My mission is to help you develop self-awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and build emotionally safe connections.

Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I'm also an active community leader, serving with the Women's Exchange of Washtenaw, United Way, and Washtenaw Business Association.
