ABOUT JOY

Joy followed a whisper to Malibu Canyon, where she rebuilt a life for her family after years of oppression. A writer, advocate, and founder of Rewild Tribe, she offers trauma-informed one-on-one coaching sessions and facilitates groups supporting people through grief and life transitions.

Joy is pursuing her master’s degree in counseling psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, with an emphasis in depth psychology. Her clinical experience includes individual and group work supporting people navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and grief. She creates compassionate spaces to feel heard, explore boundaries, and reconnect with inner strengths.

Joy stood on the frontlines of her daughter Lacey Grace’s cancer journey. Lacey’s light and legacy continue to shape her writing and work.

“Advocating for my daughter and creating the waves necessary for patient-centered care is an act of revolutionary love.”

Joy also offers forest bathing, sound baths, ocean therapy, restorative yoga, and other healing modalities. She draws inspiration from soulful experiences, the intimacy of the forest, and untamed femininity. When not writing, offering support to others, or deepening her training, Joy can usually be found exploring under a canopy of trees, enjoying the exhilaration of the ocean, or embracing the love and laughter of her family within the warmth of her home.
