MEET JOY
Joy is a stroke survivor who has experienced first-hand the effectiveness of a holistic – mind, body & spirit - approach to healing. Through nearly dying, not only was she empowered to take charge of her own healing journey, but she also found her true connection to the ineffable and finally discovered how she wanted to intentionally to live.
Over time, Joy’s dedication to the art of holistic living helped her develop a skill for assisting others experientially, practically and intuitively on their paths to wholeness. Joy also spent 15 years supporting families in childbirth and on their varied paths into parenthood. The process of becoming a parent can also be a beautiful impetus for personal growth, and Joy credits her own children with anchoring, grounding, and inspiring her to keep growing through each season. Her work in childbirth and holistic healing, as well as her experience of working through some of her own personal trauma history brought her an understanding of the profound value and beauty that can be found in exploring these challenging spaces of healing.
Often, the journey to healing begins with a crisis moment or in a stuck place, where the recognition arrives that things need to change. Then, there may be some deconstruction of unsupportive patterns and habits that may need to happen in order for repairs to be made. Joy’s unique journey has taught her that discomfort, which we often prefer to avoid, is really a gift that life offers us. Experiences that get us outside our comfort zone offer us an invitation into personal expansion and evolution, where we can better share the innate gifts that we each possess.
Similar to a technician or a mechanic, Joy’s work focuses on shepherding humans through processes of personal transformation and expansion, while educating and empowering them to be able to embody their full potential. Healing is not a systematized process. It is an ever expanding, unfolding journey. It’s a dance that you learn how to do, and as you get further into it, the moves refine and become more fluid and graceful, the steps more intricate. When we are healing holistically – addressing all the parts of the whole human – through the entirety our being, that process eventually just becomes a dance… until that process is just you, as an ever-evolving creative expression of life.
