​Welcome, sleepy friend

I’m Joanne, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. ​I’m a storyteller, narrator, and the creator of Drift Off.

​

I created Drift Off with one simple hope: to offer a peaceful space where people can slow down, quiet the mind, and find comfort at the end of a busy day.

​

Before Drift Off, much of my work was rooted in caring for others. I’ve worked as both a registered nurse and massage therapist, supporting people through comfort, healing, and care. Home is a beautiful corner of Canada, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and the peaceful beauty of wine country. I live here with my husband and care for our wonderful daughter, Emily, who has special needs.

​

I find joy in simple comforts — quiet walks, reading, cooking, spending time with friends, and creating the cozy stories and episodes that have become such a meaningful part of my life.

​

What began as a love of storytelling has grown into a community of listeners who return each night looking for calm, comfort, and rest. Alongside the podcast, I’ve created audiobooks, a premium listening experience, and my Dream Shop — a collection inspired by peaceful living and everyday comfort.

​

At the heart of everything I create is the same intention: to bring a sense of peace, comfort, and gentleness into the lives of others.

​

Whether you found me through the podcast, my audiobooks, or this cozy little corner of the internet, I’m so grateful you’re here.

 

Your friend and host!​​
