Joanne Lutz, Founder of The Consciousness Collaborative is a Life Coach and Business Consultant.  She is a co-founder and facilitator of the What's Next?! Workshop series and has been providing coaching and consulting services since 2000 within the context of her organizing business, Apples and Oranges Business and Personal Organizing.  Joanne's career path has been a winding one, from real estate and advertising sales to professional career placement and funeral service counseling.  Her choice to focus on coaching and consulting took years of personal discovery.  "I've learned that each of us has gifts to share, and often, we get distracted or sidetracked from our own innate abilities.  We cover up our essential selves with defenses born of some life trauma.  And still, the resilience of our core selves is astonishing.  For years I rejected every notion that coaching was the right work for me.  I covered my eyes to this gift, and still, others saw the glimmer of it through the cracks in my defenses.  As I have peeled the onion of my personal armor, I have experienced the value of sharing one's core self.  And, so I embarked on this, my life's work, walking along the path with others who would like to discover and share the gifts within them.  The truest gift, I believe, is to be attendant for one's self, so that you may also see and be present for another.  I feel such passion about the beauty of this work, as it always reflects where a client is in the moment.  It is an honor to be invited to support and guide others for moments of their personal life journey."

After 20+ years of on-going personal work, Joanne recognizes that there are many ways to tune into one's self...to be present.  What The Consciousness Collaborative offers is a network that enables clients to experience a variety of modalities with professionals who know and trust one anothers guiding principles.  Whatever the practice, the members share the ability to help clients access information that allows for learning, personal growth and Consciousness in ways that are as individual as the person. 

"Each of us holds within us experiential memories.  In my own personal journey, I have had to find a way to connect my head to my body.  For years I walked around so lost in my head that when a therapist once asked, 'what's happening in your body?' I responded, 'what body?'  I've learned that my body has held memories forever, and when I am willing to listen, I can learn tremendous information from that which is held in my cells.  By listening to the wisdom within me, I am able to be present.  And it is the fullness and presence of the core self that allows a person's unique gifts to manifest."

The Consciousness Collaborative is a group of professionals who share their exceptional abilities helping clients to access whatever truths are held within, by creating a safe space for a new experience.  Simultaneously, the members are engaged in the work of their own personal journey.  "For me, it is an essential concept of the Collaborative that every member continues his/her individual work.  From my personal process I believe it is only through the work of our own soul-retrieval and mindfulness that we may truly be present with others."  

"I am honored to call these practitioners my colleagues.  I would encourage you to experience as many of these modalities as possible, because you never know what pathway may allow you to access your core.   And it is through this core that each of us has the opportunity to manifest into our most essential and beautiful self!"
