Hello! I'm Johanna.


I'm here to equip you with the skills, confidence and community to do meaningful work.

How? With programs to help you work better; manage stress and become more connected to the people and things that matter to you in your work, life and business.

"Jo has a real skill for getting to the heart of what matters."


"We had the kind of conversation we so often forget to have: What do you care about most? How can you align your work, and life, with these values for a healthier, more productive and fulfilled life?"

The Make Do Co. Academy

A bit about me ...


I founded Make Do Co. in 2015 in response to some of the gaps I was seeing in how we live, work and do business.

The goal of creating this purpose-led community was to bring together a group of people who wanted to make something they were passionate about and, in that process, do work that was meaningful and mattered to them.

But not only this – I wanted Make Do to be about more than work. Because how we fill our days is, of course, how we fill our lives. As a result, all my programs measure success holistically – by your goals, your mental wellbeing, your health and your genuine happiness.

I offer programs that will help you gain – what I call – “holistic leadership skills,” including meditation and yoga workshops to help foster calm, build resilience and manage stress; a communication workshop to help you argue better and make every interaction more productive; and a small business program to help you build the business you imagine.

I also offer one-on-one business and careers coaching to help you progress and achieve your goals.

I hope you will join me in the classroom soon, Jo.
