MEET
JOANNE My name is Joanne Franchina, and I'm
the founder of Inner Compass. I help people to live fulfilling lives by applying their inner wisdom in everyday situations.
I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are discovering the joys of a holistic approach to life through mind, body,
and spirit. I received my undergraduate degrees in English and Political Science
from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I have extensive professional experience as a writer (technical writing, marketing
communications and journalism), training course developer, business analyst, and quality assurance manager. In fact, it was the stresses associated with juggling motherhood and a successful professional career
that first brought me to learn meditation and life coaching skills in 1996. My extraordinary experiences with meditation
and the power of intention led me to further study of metaphysical and spiritual subjects, that ultimately resulted in a career
change of a higher order. I am a member of the International Coach Federation.
I am also a certified clairvoyant medium and ordained minister with Fellowships of the Spirit in Lily Dale, New York.
As you might expect from my background, I have become
quite skilled at finding balance between the practical and the inspirational, the logical and the intuitive, the material
and the spiritual. I have a unique, intuitive approach to life coaching
and spiritual counseling that is highly effective. I am also passionate about teaching; I love to share
with others the concepts and practices that I have successfully applied in my own life, and in sessions with clients.
I am blessed to have a supportive family and loved ones who help me to enjoy and appreciate life.
I enjoy walks in nature, music, and creative projects. I also enjoy getting to know people, so I hope you will contact
me and tell me about you!

TO EMPOWER AND INSPIRE YOU Individual sessions are available by appointment and can be conducted via telephone, or in
person at the Inner Compass office in Cincinnati, Ohio. Group events can be conducted at the client's location or
at the Inner Compass office. LIFE COACHING The purpose of life coaching is to help the client to produce fulfilling outcomes in their
personal and spiritual life.
Coaching is typically goal-based and proactive. Over
a series of sessions, I help the client to clarify their intentions, make appropriate choices, and take effective actions,
while I support the client in enhancing their inherent skills, resources, and creativity. My approach to life coaching is based on universal principles of intention, attraction, and action, and encompasses
a holistic perspective. I work with the client to create changes in their energetic patterns on multiple levels---physically,
emotionally, mentally, and spiritually---to help them manifest their desired outcomes. Rates for individual life coaching sessions: 30-minute
session, $40; 60-minute session, $70.
INTUITIVE READINGS The purpose of an intuitive reading is to communicate to the client loving, healing, and guiding
messages from loved ones in spirit. I use my clairvoyant mediumship abilities to receive this spiritual communication,
which is always intended for the client's personal empowerment and inspiration. A reading
may touch on more than one area of the client's life, such as personal growth, spiritual direction, relationships with
significant others, family situations, occupations, or health, yet many readings tend to focus on a core issue. Spirit loved ones are identified as their energetic presences are sensed; these are often relatives or friends who
have passed into spirit, and occasionally, spiritual guides who are working with the individual's higher self. Rates for individual life coaching sessions: 30-minute session, $40; 60-minute session,
$70.
SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS & LECTURES
Inner Compass offers a variety
of seminars, workshops, lectures, and special events. I am passionate about teaching and I thoroughly enjoy working
with groups. The courses that I have developed teach many of the metaphysical concepts and practices that I apply in
individual sessions with clients, and in my own life. Course topics include meditation; creativity and inspiration;
life purpose; intuitive and spiritual development; and creative manifestation. Classes can be customized to accommodate the special needs
of groups, and are structured to help participants retain the knowledge and skills that they learn so that they can apply
them successfully to their real-life situations. Inner Compass also offers courses and events that feature guest instructors. I am excited to bring
these people to our community because I find their teachings personally helpful. Rates for group seminars, workshops, and lectures vary by event and venue. See the Events
schedule above for current offerings and prices.
GROUP COACHING & DEVELOPMENT CIRCLES
Small group coaching and development circles are available
at Inner Compass in a variety of personal development areas, such as meditation, mediumship, creativity, and manifestation.
Groups are limited in size to ensure lots of individual attention, and coaching and development take place on an ongoing basis.
Some participants prefer small group coaching because it is somewhat informal, others because it is highly
experiential, and still others because it is very affordable. Yet everyone agrees that this development format facilitates
substantial and meaningful progress.
Rates for group coaching
and development circles vary by event and venue. See the
Ongoing Events schedule above for current offerings and prices.
READING PARTIES & MESSAGE CIRCLES Reading parties and message circles are popular with groups and those who
are new to intuitive readings. They are fun and affordable, and allow one's friends and family members to participate.
They can take place at the home of a host participant or at the Inner Compass office. A
Reading Party typically includes from four to eight participants. I conduct a private reading for each
participant in turn, and the participants socialize among themselves while it is someone else's turn. A Message Circle typically includes from
four to eight participants. All of the participants sit in a circle, and I provide a message, or mini-reading, for each
participant in turn. Rates for reading parties and message circles vary by the number of people and the
duration of the readings. Contact Joanne for details.

of God's Presence, is much sought-after for mediumship readings.
She also conducts bodywork sessions in a variety of modalities, and leads fun and informative workshops in a variety
of metaphysical subjects. Sharon Anne Klingler is an internationally recognized clairvoyant medium and teacher of
metaphysics based in Cleveland, Ohio. Her work has greatly influenced Joanne, who has been a student of Sharon's
