About Us
Meet Dr. Joanna
Specializing in Women’s Health, Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum
What began as a passion for supporting women as a doula and prenatal fitness specialist grew into a much deeper calling — one that led Joanna into emergency medicine, functional wellness, and ultimately the founding of Haven Health.
Her early work supporting women during pregnancy and postpartum sparked a deep curiosity about the body’s design and the many factors that influence a woman’s health through each stage of life. That curiosity led her to pursue licensure as an EmergencyMedical Technician, where she gained firsthand experience caring for patients in high-pressure situations through trauma medicine and emergency response, including working with Grady in Atlanta.
While emergency medicine offered invaluable clinical experience, it also revealed a pattern Joanna could not ignore: many individuals were arriving in crisis after months or years of unresolved symptoms, often without having been given the time or guidance needed to truly understand what their bodies were communicating.
This realization ultimately led Joanna to pursue deeper training in functional wellness and root-cause health. She studied through the Trinity School of Natural Health, becoming a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy (BCND) through the American Natural Wellness Practitioners Board (ANWPB).
Today, Joanna specializes in helping women navigate hormonal imbalance, fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and complex health concerns through a thoughtful, investigative approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand the deeper patterns within the body.
Outside of Haven Health, Joanna’s life is centered around her family. As a mother of seven, much of her time is spent in the everyday rhythms of family life — shared meals, conversations around the table, and the constant activity that comes with raising a large family.
Joanna also enjoys staying active through CrossFit and when she has time to slow down, she loves exploring small downtown areas and discovering cozy coffee spots along the way. Whether at home with her family, moving through a workout, or wandering a quiet downtown street with a good cup of matcha, Joanna values the simple moments that restore energy and create space to appreciate life’s everyday rhythms.
Through Haven Health, Joanna works with women and families seeking deeper answers to complex health concerns — particularly those navigating hormonal changes, fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and chronic symptoms that have not yet been fully explained.
Her hope is that every person who walks through the doors of Haven Health leaves feeling more informed, more supported, and more confident that meaningful healing and understanding are possible.
Meet Maddy, CNHP
Rooted in faith and driven by a deep passion for wellness, Maddy graduated as a Certified Natural Health Professional through the Trinity School of Natural Health. She is passionate about helping individuals understand the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms and guiding them toward healthier foundations through natural, supportive care.
Maddy’s approach focuses on root-cause wellness, low-toxic living, and practical lifestyle support, helping clients make sustainable changes that support the body’s natural healing processes. Her Christian faith plays a meaningful role in how she approaches her work. She sees caring for others as both a privilege and a form of ministry, striving to serve each person with compassion, integrity, and encouragement while pointing back to the wisdom of the One who created the body.
Her journey into natural health began through her own personal healing experience. After being prescribed birth control at a young age, she later made the decision to discontinue it, which sparked a deeper curiosity about hormone health and the body’s natural rhythms. That experience led her to begin learning more about how lifestyle, nutrition, and environment influence overall wellness.
While working in two chiropractic offices early in her career, Maddy was surrounded by practitioners who emphasized natural approaches to health. That environment exposed her to the powerful impact of holistic care and further strengthened her desire to pursue a career helping others navigate their own health journeys.
Outside of her work at Haven Health, Maddy enjoys spending time with the people who matter most to her. Whether sharing a home-cooked meal with family and friends or simply enjoying meaningful conversation, relationships are a central part of her life.
Cooking and baking are some of her favorite creative outlets, and she enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. She also values staying active and spending time outdoors — often going for long walks to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
During the summer months, Maddy’s favorite place to recharge is her family’s cottage on the lake, where she enjoys slowing down, making memories, and appreciating the beauty of nature.
Meet Emilie
Client Care Coordinator
Emilie helps ensure that every Haven Health client has a smooth and welcoming experience from the moment they reach out. She assists with scheduling, communication, and the many behind-the-scenes details that help the Haven Health team care for clients well.
With a warm and attentive presence, Emilie enjoys helping people feel comfortable and supported on their journey with Haven Health.
Outside of work, she enjoys many of life’s simple and creative hobbies. She loves baking — especially working with sourdough — along with crocheting, thrifting, antiquing, and what she jokingly calls “any good granny hobby.” During the spring and summer months, she spends much of her time tending to her large vegetable garden and has recently begun learning the art of canning.
She also enjoys reading, exploring local farmers markets and vendor events, golfing, and spending time with her husband Charles and their dog, Ozzie. A perfect afternoon for her often includes browsing a favorite shop or relaxing with an iced matcha in hand.
At the heart of Haven Health is a simple belief:
People deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported when navigating their health.
Our mission is to provide care that is:
Thoughtful — taking the time to understand the full picture of a person’s health
Investigative — looking beyond symptoms to uncover deeper root causes
Individualized — recognizing that every person’s body and story are unique
Empowering — helping clients understand their bodies so they can move forward with confidence
We believe that every person carries inherent dignity and worth, and that caring for others is both a responsibility and a privilege.
This perspective informs the compassion, patience, and attentiveness we bring to every client interaction.
Stay connected with Haven Health and our local community.
