About Jovanna
Jovanna Surillo is a speaker, facilitator, media host, and founder of River to Root. Her work explores the beliefs, subconscious patterns, conditioning, and life experiences that shape who we become—and what it means to intentionally return to ourselves.
Jovanna has spent years creating conversations around mental health, spirituality, personal development, identity, and human transformation.
Through speaking, facilitation, media, and River to Root, she encourages people to examine the stories they have inherited, recognize the patterns influencing their lives, establish healthier boundaries, strengthen self-trust, and reconnect with who they are beneath external expectations.
Her central message is that while our experiences can shape us, they do not have to determine what comes next. Greater awareness gives us an opportunity to participate intentionally in the direction of our lives.
