About The Book

The book begins with the foundational principle of “Know Thyself,” exploring the importance of self-awareness, reflection, realization, and evaluation as necessary steps toward personal growth and healing. Joanne explains that by understanding who we truly are, we unlock our ability to heal, transform, and thrive. She emphasizes that every person, regardless of age, experience, or background, has a natural life force within that can be activated through mindful living and movement.

One of the book’s most impactful sections introduces the Five Magic Sources of Life for Longevity, Breathing, Drinking, Eating, Moving, and Sleeping (BDEMS). Joanne unpacks each of these essential elements with wisdom and clarity, showing how they work together to support physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. She doesn’t just explain their function. She guides readers to use them intentionally and properly, emphasizing that it’s not what we do but how we do it that determines our well-being.

The final section of the book celebrates dance as a form of healing and worship. Joanne believes that movement is medicine, and dance is a sacred act of expression that can awaken the soul, raise energetic vibrations, and restore harmony within. Whether it’s a gentle sway or an energetic burst of rhythm, dance becomes a metaphor for life itself, a reminder to flow, to be present, and to live fully.

Dance and Be Well is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves, their body, and God. Whether you’re on a path of recovery, personal growth, or simply looking to feel better and live more fully, this book offers a powerful toolkit for renewal.

In the end, Joanne’s message is clear and empowering:
“You are the ultimate healer of yourself.”
