The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the Universe, to match your nature with Nature.” -Joseph Campbell
Living up to her name, Joy is filled with joyful energy! Born and raised in Colorado, Joy grew up deeply immersed in nature with countless hours spent on the back of her horse, swimming in white water rivers and charging up mountains. She fostered an intuitive ability to tune into subtler realms of reality and to hear Nature’s song. This sweet song gifted Joy her life’s mission- to spread love and healing so that ultimately Mother Earth can evolve and thrive as we are all intimately connected.
Mission in mind, Joy obtained her bachelor’s degree in Fine Art as a way to use creative expression to communicate the subtle intricacies of life. Since 2016, Joy has been honored to teach yoga and offer energy healing by way of Usui Reiki. As a second generation Astrologer, Joy offers support and guidance through astrological services and loves to weave astrology into her yoga classes, events and retreats!
Ultimately, Joy’s intentions are to inspire physical, mental and spiritual alignment. Through this beautiful union, you will feel joyful and in harmony with Nature’s sweet song!
