Our Story

Hello there, and welcome!

I'm Joanne Hanckowiak, the founder of Notes To Self Academy, established in 2017. It brings me great joy to connect with you.

​

My journey has always been one of continuous learning, fueled by a deep passion for personal growth and development. Throughout the years, I've had the privilege of working in diverse settings, with my favorite being education. Building communities of global learners and assisting others in living authentically are at the heart of what I love.

As a perpetual student, I find immense joy in the cycle of learning, growing, and sharing. My purpose here is to serve as a source of warmth, light, and inspiration. I, too, seek out these elements in my own life.

​

Having drawn inspiration from eloquent writers, coaches, and researchers, I understand the transformative power of reflection, reassessment, and perseverance in personal growth. Through triumphs and challenging losses, I empathize with the hurdles you may be facing.

I believe we are all evolving works in progress, deserving of being seen, accepted, supported, and cheered on.

My commitment extends to cultivating a nurturing community where authenticity, vulnerability, and dedication to growth thrive. Whether you're drawn to inspiring quotes, mindfulness tips, our online breathwork course, or simply seeking a space to be yourself and uplift your spirit, you've found a home here. NotesToSelfAcademy.com is your safe haven.

I'd love to connect with you, so please feel free to reach out. I'm here for you.
