Founder of Tropicize
Joanna “The Tropical Lady” Gustafson is a Stress-Free Living Strategist, nationally board-certified health coach, speaker, author, and co-founder of the multi award-winning island party band, the Tsunami Wave Riders.
As a steel drummer, co-songwriter, and lifelong lover of tropical rhythms, Joanna brings music, mindset, and movement together in a way that helps people — especially women over 50 — reclaim their energy, purpose, and joy.
Her programs blend science-backed wellness strategies with the warmth and fun of island life. From mocktails to mindset, spa water to steel drums, Joanna helps you “Tropicize” your life with simple, soul-soothing habits that feel more like vacation than obligation.
She’s the creator of Morning Aloha, The Tropicize Toolbox, and The 14-Day Stress Cure — and she’s known for making wellness feel doable, playful, and genuinely relaxing.
When she’s not coaching or writing, you’ll find her leading online beach breaks, creating tropical brain health programs, or performing live on steel drums in a dressy sarong — flower in her hair, of course.
“Your passport to paradise is just a song and a sway away!” - Joanna "The Tropical Lady" Gustafson
