Cheers!! I'm Joy, An Enrichment Leader for our Memory Care Population+A Certified Health Coach!

Once Upon a Time....

I always considered myself a late bloomer. I backpacked at 31, when everyone else was 21, for three months through the Greek Islands, Turkey, Budapest and Prague. I even lied about my age since I was 10 years older than everyone else! I got married at 40 and twins at 41 and started a whole new career at 51 but now I am getting ahead of myself!

I am deliriously curious and at times, impulsive which has served me most of the time!   Prior to my coaching pratice, I was in a full time 25 year Fashion Career. It was an amazing journey and I loved the excitement and the travel, I traveled all over the world and worked with some pretty interesting people. My job was to go shopping in Europe and take pictures - pretty fabulous gig! I got to split my time between Los Angles and New York so I had the best of both worlds. 

After having children, I wanted to slow down my career which was challenging in the capacity I was working.  I got creative but sacrificed my health and woke up at 51 years young feeling horrible, exhausted,  in the middle of menopause and in a troubled marriage that I was trying to avoid. I made a decision that I wanted to be the healthiest version of myself for my children and knew that I needed to dial in my health and launch a career where I could be my own boss and be present for my twins when I made my move out of my marriage.

I jumped on my health program and 6 weeks later, I felt fantastic! I released 10 pounds, which eliminated daily back pain from scoliosis, and buried myself in the personal development that is the foundation of my program. I left my full time career 8 months later and launched my Coaching Practice and 7 years later, thousands of people have been transformed by my team.

My work in Memory Care+Dementia came from a place of wanting to volunteer but my heart got connected to the work and I am now an Enrichment Leader and I bring my knowledge and experience to my coaching practice. 

I hold a certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine to guide women 50 + on mobility, balance and flexibility.

Who would of known that I would find my passion to serve at 51! I am on a mission to model that our age is a gift and what a blessing to open our eyes every morning!  I have all this wisdom and don't want to slow down but live the longest and healthiest life engaging with my children and not turning them into my caretaker.
