Joyce's Personal Story

"I moved to New York City in 1980. After several years I was able to created the company of my dreams, an international travel, meeting and event company. I was financially successful, had a strong spiritual community, a relationship, and friends. By all my standards I was successful and financially stable. I had finally created the life I thought was my life purpose. But little did I know this was about to change.

"For many years, I had studied metaphysics, Shamanism, Buddhism and numerous other healing traditions for my own personal development. After several years of spiritual work, I began to experience a yearning or calling from my higher self to relocate to a different city where I could spend more time exploring how to integration my spiritual teachings into a business. I struggled for several years pushing back the message from my soul to move forward. How could I leave the world I had created for myself?

In 1994, I relocated to Atlanta, shortly thereafter, I experiencing a devastating loss of my relationship and abruptly changed my career path. I was depressed, and lost in fear and doubt. I found myself in the 'belly of the dark night of my soul.'

"As part of my healing journey, I immersed myself into meditation to find direction for my life. I put together a program of study that included the science of the mind, metaphysics, Peruvian Shamanism, energy medicine, mind-body medicine, DNA re-patterning, and empowerment training. The only message I got back from my spiritual guidance was to work with women and empowerment.

"In 1999, I started a holistic wellness practice with Dr. Richard Clofine in Atlanta, Georgia. For years I used energy and healing techniques with people who had chronic and life threatening illness and trauma.

"In 2004, my business took a quantum leap when I decided to shift my work to transformational coaching, energy medicine and empowerment retreats in Costa Rica.

"While studying with a shaman in the Peruvian rain forest in 2005, it was revealed to me through a vision that my lifework was to 'help women rebirth themselves in a new way of being and living on the planet Earth'. I began to devote myself to guiding others as they discover their own life pathways and soul purpose. It so happens that, Costa Rica, with its lushness and beauty, is a perfect place to connect to the Mother Earth and allow deep healing to occur."

I am living my passion, purpose and destiny for my lifework and I am thrilled to be facilitating other women on how to remember their Soul Purpose and Destiny.
