About Joanna Shakti:
As a product of the women’s move for independence and equality, Joanna Shakti (formerly known as Joanna Kennedy) did her part and got an electrical engineering degree, an MBA, and a chance to quickly climb the corporate ladder. Outside the office, her marriage fell apart and she cried herself to sleep at night. Then one extraordinary day in 2001, she found the cause of her pain – she’d buried herself away and become what everyone else wanted her to be and “Joanna” was nowhere to be seen.
Shortly before leaving her corporate position, she received an inspiration – a call from Grace – a knowing that she had to share her realizations so that women (and the men in their lives) wouldn’t need to suffer the same pains, heartaches, and disappointments that she and the men in her life had.
Joanna has personally experienced practically every dimension of relationship and is very well acquainted with the challenges of being feminine in a masculine energy business world and achievement-oriented society. At the same time, she is well acquainted with the challenges men face when living with and relating to a “revolutionized” woman as well as the societal conditioning to be a “sensitive new age guy.”
Joanna combines deep experience in masculine-feminine dynamics with her many certifications including Advanced Certified Tantra Educator, Accredited Journey Practitioner, Certified Partner Yoga Instructor, and Visionary Leadership Coach to remind men and women of the power and potential of love – showing them how to reconnect with themselves and each other in profoundly loving, deeply intimate, and ultimately freeing relationships. You may have seen her as the Intimacy Expert on America’s Got Talent, or in her other appearances on Fox, VH1, and Comedy Central.
Ecstatic Intimacy, founded by Joanna Shakti, offers programs, events, and mentoring to men and women to empower them to put the hot and happy back into love. Joanna says, “There are too many nice guys who “finish last,” too many successful women who can’t seem to find a great man, and way too many people who find themselves in the friend-zone!” As the Soul Love Mentor, Joanna inspires anyone who hungers for deeper love and intimate pleasure… to find and create a relationship that is an expression of ecstatic authenticity, intimacy and ecstasy.
