“I’ve attended many of Joy’s classes and retreats over the years and I always find something new to take away. Through her acceptance, presence and kindness, Joy guides me to a place within that I wasn’t sure existed. I would recommend everyone—beginner to experienced practitioner—to sit with Joy and see where she can lead you. ”

“Joy is a wonderful teacher. There’s no right or wrong in her mindfulness classes, as she’ll remind you each week. The environment is warm and encouraging. If you lose your way just start again. She gives suggestions to bring awareness to your everyday life so, no matter how busy you are, there is time for mindfulness.”

Hi, my name is Joy. I help people who struggle with anxiety, exhaustion, and busyness to slow down and savor life.
Mindfulness and meditation seem daunting but I teach practices that are easy to work into your day. These are low-commitment but high-impact tools that are quick to master.
With my guidance, mindfulness goes from something you wish you did regularly to a well-formed habit integrated into your life.
