My name is Joan Minnery and I’m 48 years old. I’m in a relationship with Keith Curley and I’m the mother of 22-year-old Bill Minnery. I’m a musical educator by profession as well as a special event coordinator and professional entertainer. I’m also the owner and director of Joan Minnery Enterprises which includes weight loss support groups and interactive health and wellness seminars and workshops. I lived life as an overweight person for most of my years but have shed over 150 pounds since 2010! Read my weight loss success story here on ShapeFit!
Services I Provide:
I provide motivational weight loss counseling, interactive health and wellness seminars and workshops. I also do motivational speaking, coordinate weight loss groups and implement programs. I’m a fitness and Zumba instructor along with being a health and wellness blogger and an online weight loss and fitness author. I’m currently working on my book entitled: “Walking My Way Back To Me” which is my inspirational journey of transformation. It’s about how putting one foot in front of the other changed my life from the outside, in.

My LONG Awaited Book Release of “Walking My Way Back To Me” Is FINALLY out! The paperback and the E-book version are available through ordering directly from my website.
Get ready to cheer, be psyched up to be energized and stand by with a box of Kleenex. My invigorating “Walking My Way Back To Me” is a smile enhancing triumphant journey that will ignite your spirit to root on the finish line!
“Walking My Way Back To Me” is my very raw hauntingly honest autobiography of living on the large side of life; featuring the truth behind how I successfully transformed my once poisoned body from a sob story into a successful adventure novel. I hold nothing back and lay it all out there in an emotional trip down memory lane. Written between the lines unfolds the foundation of a lifelong deep personal struggle with obesity: as a child, teenager, young adult, mom, singer, performer, minor celebrity and ultimately a very ill person in mind and body. My excessive overeating caused severe health issues leaving me with compromised pancreas, gallbladder and liver; along with acute vertigo and the onset of life altering Meniere’s disease.
My inspirational journey embraces the necessary steps to get well and the celebrations of my very public fight for survival. There is refreshing brutal realism of how I climbed to a self abusive weight of almost 300 pounds and what it took for me to lose half of it. Highly motivational, dramatic, cheerful, shocking, sad and funny; my laid back memoire is chock-full of Brantford residents and area mentions. I overcame the odds and evened out the game of life in my favor!
