Meet Joanne Sumner
I am passionate about helping businesswomen succeed and I would love to connect with you to see how we may be able to create more health, happiness and success together for the greatest number of people. I am a serial entrepreneur, with businesses over the last 16 years in fields ranging from human potential and flourishing to ethics of artificial intelligence.
I am an experienced coach, holistic therapist and trainer, and retreat facilitator, and I bring this experience to my Athena region. You can find out more about my wellness business here www.joannesumner.com
The Winchester Region is my second franchise with Athena, having run the West London region for several years. One of my talents is helping people realise what they want from their lives and businesses, and helping them to create that.
I bring total commitment and joy to my work and look forward to supporting you in your business journey, wherever you may be on it.
I invite you to book a FREE Chemistry Check with me at a time that suits you. This will give you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have prior to visiting and to discuss which group will be the best fit for you and your business.
Come along and experience one of our meetings to see if we are the right fit for you to help you grow.

GROUP INFORMATION
I proudly manage the Winchester Region, comprising of three groups, Winchester Central, Winchester North & Stockbridge and Winchester South & Eastleigh.
All are popular, dynamic and vibrant groups where you can be assured of excellent business connections, to meet local businesswomen and step out of the isolation so many female entrepreneurs can feel.
All of the members pride themselves on the strategic connections that they have created, collaborating with each other to create new projects and services.
Winchester Central meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month from 12 – 2pm (excluding August & December).
