Increasing Lifespan Through Lifestyle
“By any means necessary" is often an attitude that emerges in moments of emergency or crisis. But what if we considered our day-to-day routines with the same urgency as last-resort decisions? Would emergencies become less frequent? Would it change what we define as necessary?
The Necessary Means is a coaching service rooted in wellness and lifestyle as preventive care. Our integrative approach blends the core pillars of Clinical Herbalism, Nutrition, and Pilates to help you build sustainable habits that support your overall well-being. We guide you from your current lifestyle into a wellness-first way of living that is organized, flexible, and realistic — never rigid.

Testimonials
Since taking Pilates with you my running has gotten so much better. I can run for longer, my breathing is better, and I feel more aware of my running posture.

As someone who is used to heavy lifting and athletic training, I didn’t think Pilates could give me a good workout. However, Joanna will have my legs shaking! She is great at customizing programs to target exact muscle groups, she is very very focused on precise form and posture to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your workout. Pilates with Joanna has improved how I’m able to do all of my other workouts because of the mind body connection I’ve developed. I love Joanna! Book with Joanna!

I have bulked up in the past but not like this. In the past I would pretty much do a “dirty bulk” and only focus on eating more and not so much of what I was eating. Now that I am watching what ingredients I am putting into my body on my current bulk, I’ve noticed I’ve so far been able to remain much leaner than on my previous attempts! Even though I’ve gained 7-8 pounds so far I have been able to retain vascularity and definition which I was not able to do when I would dirty bulk.

In all my years as a personal trainer, having taken a few Reformer classes, I can say with full confidence that the work you do stands out. You lead with clarity, intention, and passion. Your way of training is effective, respectful, and powerful.
