About JoAnn

JoAnn Manzella is best known as an intuitive, passionate leader. She has been a successful entrepreneur for 14 years. Her combined business and life experience has evolved to make her a highly sought after lifestyle and wellness coach.

JoAnn graduated Kean University with high honors and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Education. Shortly after, she entered the real estate business and worked for 10 years with clients on their biggest financial investment of their lives. While raising her family, she became certified as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach. She decided to pursue helping women with their health and fitness goals and launched a fitness business as the co-owner of Jumpstart to Fitness, LLC.

Not only has JoAnn had a diverse business background, she also brings in a strong personal component to her coaching. She has been married for 18 years and together, with her husband, is raising 5 beautiful children. While she was pregnant with her first child, JoAnn and her husband were confronted with an unusual request. They were asked to care for two children ages 2 and 3. These two boys came with considerable mental and emotional problems, which they continue to be challenged with today, 11 years later. The road has not been an easy one but JoAnn realizes that the blessings her family has received have been a truly priceless gift.

She is able to relate in a special way to today’s mom dealing with challenging situations as she has been successful herself in raising 5 children (doing all the mom things; softball coach, soccer mom, homework, sleepovers and all the other fun stuff) running a household with her supportive husband, and maintaining an entrepreneurial attitude and coaching business. Her compassion and expertise lies in helping women achieve their greatness. She continually helps her clients make quantum leaps forward to achieve ultimate success and balance in all aspects of their lives.
