Peace, my name is Joy.

I come from saltwater people: a lineage of farmers, crab pickers, seamstresses, caretakers, educators, ministers, and entrepreneurs. People who knew resilience, community, and the sacred work of tending to what must be healed.

Born and raised in the American South, I carry the wisdom of my parents (survivors of Jim Crow and the Vietnam War), the strength of my African and Indigenous ancestors, and the complexity of my European lineage.

For 15 years, I've worked in healing and transformation across community spaces, clinical settings, and private practice. My approach is grounded in attachment theory, somatic practices, and earth-based wisdom. Nothing has shaped my work more than motherhood and my own healing journey, which taught me that transformation isn't about fixing what's broken but reclaiming who we are beneath survival and scarcity.

Becoming a mother revealed my commitment to intergenerational healing: looking honestly at the patterns I inherited, the ones I repeated, and the ones I was determined to break so my daughter could grow up rooted in security, joy, and belonging.

My work is also deeply shaped by healing from relational trauma and narcissistic abuse. That journey taught me that prosperity isn't just material. It's relational, embodied, spiritual. It's about cultivating secure, loving connections with yourself and others, learning what you deserve, honoring your worth, and choosing relationships that reflect your truth.

Whole with Joy was born from the moment I realized I wasn't broken. I had been living in broken systems and relationships that taught me to disconnect from my own value. Healing helped me remember who I am beneath fear, shame, and survival.

This work is for anyone who has felt the hollowness of not knowing who they are. For those healing from relationships that dimmed their light. For people tired of performing, proving, and abandoning themselves. For parents breaking cycles. For anyone ready to remember their wholeness and reclaim their joy.

Whole with Joy is a movement grounded in four pillars: Wholeness (integration, not fragmentation), Embodiment (your body holds wisdom), Joy (reclaiming aliveness as birthright), and Earth Connection (belonging to the living world). Together, these form a pathway back to your essence: your dignity, your worth, and your prosperity.

I facilitate transformational gatherings, offer individual prosperity work, and create spaces where people reconnect to pleasure, rest, intimacy, and the freedom to be fully themselves.

This is the work: bringing your joy into the world and building a life rooted not in survival, but in truth, intimacy, and true generational wealth.

If you're ready to begin this journey, I'd be honored to walk with you.
