Welcome to IMB
I am Josephine. I created IMB during a time when I was facing enormous adversity, challenge and loss. I know first-hand what recovery, reconnecting and rebuilding means for the mind, body and spirit. I now help others navigate the same.
While we cannot always change what has happened in the past or what life asks of us in the present, I believe we can cultivate the capacity to meet challenges with greater awareness, resilience, self-compassion, and hope.
Through mindfulness, meditation, breath, and gentle movement, I help people reconnect with themselves, rebuild and move forward with strength and purpose.
At IMB, we believe in creating meaningful experiences that inspire and connect. Let IMB help you bring your vision to life.
MISSION
To help people find healing, and gently build the inner capacity to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, self-compassion, and hope.
Through evidence-informed mindfulness, meditation, breath, compassionate coaching, and gentle movement practices, I support individuals in reconnecting with themselves, strengthening their nervous system capacity, and creating a life that feels calmer, more balanced, and deeply meaningful.
VISION
Wellbeing is not about perfection or avoiding life's hardships.
It is about understanding and developing the inner capacity to meet hardships with awareness, courage, compassion, and resilience.
My vision is to create a trusted community where people recovering from stress, burnout, grief, caregiving, and life's major transitions feel understood, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves and others.
IMB helps people discover that healing is not about returning to who they once were, but about growing into a wiser, stronger, and more wholehearted version of themselves.
CORE VALUES
Compassion: Every person deserves to be met with kindness, respect, and without judgment.
Integrity: To be honest, ethical, and authentic in everything I teach, ensuring my guidance reflects both lived experience and professional responsibility.
Hope: Even after profound stress, burnout, grief, or life-changing experiences, growth and renewed meaning remain possible.
Presence: Healing begins by meeting ourselves where we are, one breath, one moment, and one compassionate choice at a time.
Resilience: It is not about enduring more. It is about developing the capacity to recover, adapt, and continue living with purpose and self-compassion.
Courage: Healing often asks us to take gentle but courageous steps toward change, even when the path feels uncertain.
Connection: Healing doesn't happen in isolation. Meaningful healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us when safety, trust, and compassion are cultivated.
Growth: Wellbeing is a lifelong journey of learning, self-discovery, and expanding our capacity to live fully.
Accessibility: Mindfulness, meditation, breath, and movement practices should feel welcoming, practical, and available to people from all walks of life and abilities.

When Pain Becomes Purpose
Josephine's numerous intensive certifications and credentials speak to her continued commitment to supporting others in their wellbeing and healing.
But these holistic modalities later took on even greater significance with her own first-hand experience surviving domestic & intimate partner violence, then later navigating burnout, caregiver fatigue, grief, and the persistent PTSD and chronic pain symptoms she struggled with while also juggling a demanding law career and single motherhood.
Experience Brings Perspective
There are insights and knowledge that cannot be gained simply from reading a book or taking a weekend yoga course.
With the wisdom and understanding that comes only from lived experience, combined with thousands of hours of professional training and work with others, Josephine now helps individuals find agency again, navigate their journey towards healing, and explore supportive practices to reclaim their lives and finding greater self-compassion, self-worth, well-being and ease.
1-on-1 Sessions
When not teaching or facilitating groups or workshops, Josephine also provides 1-on-1 sessions drawing also from her Somatic Experiencing (Advanced-level) and iRest training for people living with the effects of trauma and chronic pain.
Volunteer Work
This year, Josephine is continuing to make a limited number of offerings available specifically to those navigating acquired/traumatic brain injury, and survivors of traumatic experiences including domestic or intimate partner violence.
