Joanna Barbera

Singer-songwriter and mindfulness guide Joanna Barbera has carved out a unique path at the intersection of music and meditation. Hailing from the Hudson Valley, NY, and now rooted in Nashville, she harmonizes her twin passions: crafting soul-stirring melodies and guiding others on their journey to self-discovery through yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness practices. With decades of experience in both realms, she has led transformational workshops and wellness programs that have guided countless individuals toward inner liberation and balanced living. Her artistry has traveled the globe, from tours across Europe and the U.S. to healing concerts at wellness retreats in Costa Rica. Her music has been featured on multiple television productions, including NBC's Criminal Minds, and she has released three independent albums. Barbera hosts mantra music events throughout Nashville, with celebrated performances at venues like City Winery, where she transforms traditional concerts into immersive mindfulness experiences.
