JoAnna’s academics extend from Community College to the Sales floor, the gym floor, and food service businesses where customer service is a strong skill she continues to extend for over 10+ years. Reading self-help and fitness books is truly not just something to pass time, but something to help build knowledge and create more opportunity for her clients.

Education is important to JoAnna and she will be a lifetime learner and forever student. She is graduating Fall 2025 with a BA. in Psychology from SUNY Empire State College - Online, and as of Feb. 2024 - JoAnna passed her exams as a National Academy of Sports Medicine - Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Corrective Exercise Specialist. She began as a

She began her journey and interest in 2010 as a Saunders High School Cheerleader and Culinary Arts Major, creating Begin with You in Fall of 2014. JoAnna has always been active, yet she was only a Cheerleader from childhood for 2 years, and 2 years in highschool.

JoAnna discovered her deeper passions in young adulthood and college for Nutrition and Fitness after dealing with a lot of mental health circumstances in family and life overall, as we grow - life is not linear and she found healthy modalities to cope during times of grief, distress, in mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual ways of well-being.

Fortunately, yet unfortunately, by birth - JoAnna was blessed with 20/20 Vision only in her left eye and Amblyopia with 20/400 Vision in her right eye. This was a hinderance as per doctors and protective parenting style - where she was not allowed to play contact sports. JoAnna loved basketball, volleyball, and softball just in her at home play from pre-teen to teenage years. She wished to play basketball in middle school, volleyball in highschool, and softball safely in physical education class. Yet, there was a lot of insecurity and fear instilled, she always had to wear sports goggles, sit on the bench, or just felt overall anxious to participate. She finally overcame this in 2013-2014 as a Founding Team Leader with Saunders Highschool Blue Diva Dozen with 12 amazing girls who helping bring back the cheerleading team, which is quite the challenge as a Yonkers Public School, but we did it!

JoAnna is now 1:1 Personal Training privately, social media managing for a restaurant and fitness company, and building a brand that focuses on networking with the community, small businesses, and carries her friends, family, and community for a lifetime of well-being, which all starts with the mindset of “Begin with You”, every day.
