Remember to Breathe
Welcome, I’m Joanna!
I am a multidisciplinary experience designer, tea practitioner, and facilitator of contemplative journeys whose work lives at the intersection of presence, beauty, and embodied learning. With more than a decade devoted to crafting immersive environments, I am the founder of Mindful Immersions and the creator of La Sultana Tea House.
Through my work, I design spaces where inner exploration and sensory experience meet, weaving together mindfulness practice and thoughtful storytelling to create experiences that ignite transformation. I am also the writer of A Mindful Tea and the former founder and publisher of the award-winning Hayo Magazine.
What we can do together
A platform dedicated to slow, intentional journeys in places of powerful natural silence, including the Moroccan Sahara and the Colombian mountains. Through these pilgrimages, she guides individuals and groups — from creatives to leaders — into deeper states of clarity, nervous system regulation, and meaningful reconnection.
Mindful Immersions
A nomadic tea concept that weaves together tea mastery, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and Indian influences, and sensorial ritual. This tea practice is both an art form and a contemplative discipline, rooted in the understanding that small, attentive gestures can become portals into presence.
La Sultana Tea House
My facilitation style is grounded in deep listening, gentle structure, and years of personal practice within the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Whether in the desert, the mountains, or an intimate tea setting, my work invites a return to rhythm, to simplicity, self-management, and the cultivation of presence and awareness.
Private practice - 1:1 sessions
“I loved that the practice was so diverse. The theoretical part, in a very concise way, seemed vital and fair as an introduction to the practice. Sharing the sessions seemed like a plus to me because it is cool to repeat them. I think the additional material is very beneficial, complementing the practices with music and sounds connects me a lot. Thank you very much Joa for this space, for your time and for your love, it was felt in each meeting.”
Carolina, Club de Meditación
“Joanna that was so, so lovely and powerful. There is a streak of messages from people who are gushing about you! Lots of “I’ve never been able to meditate before” messages. So powerful. Feeling honored and grateful.”
Melissa Chapman, from Devoted Team – Private Team Event
“During the 6th edition of the Low Carbon City Forum, Joanna led a space for meditation and conscious breathing as part of the event's closing. It was a space for deep connection between the participants and opened doors to reflect that the changes we want to see in the world begin from within. In our inner silence. We highly recommend this experience in academic and technical environments because it is a wonderful complement to well-being and feeling our interconnections.”
Juliana Gutiérrez, Co-Founder Low Carbon City – Public Conference
