Why I do what I do


I want to help you move from feeling stuck, fearful, and exhausted to enjoying a juicy, deeply satisfying life. Do you know what you want but feel blocked from going after it? Are you more concerned about what others think and feel than what you think and feel? Do you feel like you're faking your own life and do you worry that someone will find out? Do you say yes to things you don't really want to do? Does it feel like there isn't enough to go around and you are never going to get your share?

For years I felt stuck and afraid. I wanted more/better/different but wasn't sure how to get it and wasn't completely sure I deserved it. If you feel that way, I want to support you while you learn how to make the changes that will create the life you want. You were designed for pleasure and enjoyment. It's built in to your body and your brain. Most of us got stuck in early habits and patterns that rob us of having a life that is comfortable, enjoyable and desirable. I want to help women move from tight and blah lives to boundless contentment and joy. 

I want to help women who used to love sex but now it's just another f-ing thing on their to-do list. You may be worried that you will never rediscover your inner sexiness and may even be afraid that your relationship will end if you cannot relocate your mojo. 

About Joy


I have a Masters Degree in Social work.  I worked for over 20 years providing mental health services, working with adults and with geriatric patients before opening my own coaching business.

When I was in my mid thirties, I developed severe endometriosis. I felt ill much of the time and the interventions I underwent from Western medicine weren't really helping. I was taking very strong medicines with significant side effects and the conversation was tending toward surgery to remove pieces of me I'd rather keep.

I explored alternative forms of healing and spiritual growth, hoping to find a solution for my own health problems. I began my Reiki training in 1995. I found much more than I'd expected - a gentle yet profound and easy-to-learn healing practice that helped me balance the physical, emotional and spiritual components of myself. I felt healthier and more tranquil, and had greater clarity about what I wanted in life. 

Reiki felt like a simpler and more effective way to accomplish what I had been hoping to do in social work, so I started my holistic healing practice in March of 1997. I received my Reiki Master attunement in November of 1999, and began teaching Reiki in March of 2000. In conjunction with my Reiki training, I started learning about and working with the healing properties of crystals. Later I took classes in Karuna® Reiki and Urevia® as well, as I have continued to explore a variety of healing practices.

I began my coaching practice in 2003. I enjoy helping entrepreneurs achieve their vocational dreams while also creating a healthy work/life balance. I understand the challenges of creating a business from scratch, since I've done it. 

In 2019, I took a rigorous year-long course in Sex, Love, and Relationship Coaching from the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality. (Here's a LINK for more info about the program.) I learned amazing techniques for helping women reconnect to their bodies and their genuine selves and rediscovering their power and juiciness. I am a few practice coaching hours away from being certified.
