Meet Joanna Espiritu, RN, Nurse Continence Advisor

Hello and Welcome! 

You can call me Jo!

I have been a Registered Nurse for more than 17 years. I have worked at surgical wards from both rural and urban hospitals. As much as I loved shift work, it was not loving me back. Nightshifts started to take a toll on my physical and mental health. Having our first child has set new priorities in my career. Luckily, I was able to transition into clinic work as a Nurse Continence Advisor (NCA). This new role allowed me to dive deeper into personalized care and support. 

Working at the Bladder Clinic as an NCA, I’ve heard so many women say, “Gosh, I wish I knew about your services 25 years ago!”. Although I had a little bit more time with these patients, I was only able to provide them a limited amount of appointments before discharging them from the program.

I know I do a great job in helping improve their overactive bladder, bladder pain and recurrent bladder infections but I find them suffering through poor sleep, weigh gain, and anxiety. This led me to a rabbit hole research of “How can I do better to help these women?”

Unfortunately, I had to leave my position at the Bladder Clinic due to my husband’s job relocation. Fortunately, this transition allowed me time to set up my private practice where I can help more women. I am happy and proud to be able to offer my services for women living in Alberta and British Columbia!

What Women Say About Joanna

Testimonials

My name is D.R. I had a URODYNAMICS study. It was performed by a nurse named of Joanne. She was so informative and put me at ease the whole time. I could tell she loved her job and does everything to make the patient as comfortable as possible. I am hoping that you can pass this along to her. We often don't get much kudos in life, but she certainly deserves a big one. Thank you Joanne

Joanna is my short-term colleague and a lifelong friend. She was the one who introduced me to the Nurse Continence Advisor (NCA) role. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. When I decided to become an NCA, Joanna took me under her wings and guided me through the beginnings of this new chapter of my life. As a new nurse in this role, I had so many questions lined up for her. Joanna was extremely patient and took the time to answer all my questions. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very professional in her approach. I saw the way she interacted with her clients and her demeanor and bed-side manner are gentle, calm, and positive. She made sure their treatments were individualized with lasting results. Coming to a new role was quite intimidating, and I knew I had big shoes to fill. But she guided me throughout and taught me everything I needed to know before I took over the clinic. She made sure I felt confident and comfortable as the new NCA at the clinic. I am forever grateful for everything she has done for me. With her outstanding quality of a person, I highly recommend working with her.
-Joyce C. (RN, NCA)
Joanna is a kind, warm and compassionate provider. She is so knowledgeable with all things bladder and bowel related from her experience as a Nurse Continence Advisor and for all Parenthood/postpartum from her experience as a Registered Nurse and parent herself. If you're seeking gentle guidance, you're in the right place.
