Offering & About Joy
Sometimes, we can circle the same challenges for years...Never quite surfacing — let alone surfing — the oceans of potential we know exist.This is where Organic Intelligence® shines.It shifts the way we look at things, and gifts us profound droplets of fresh guidance — direct from the source: pulsating through the timeless wisdom of our blood, bones, and biology.Your very own wellspring of healing and growth awaits.
What I offer:
Organic Intelligence® Coaching
This is a non-directive, supportive style of coaching that uplifts the self-healing intelligence already at play within you.Guided by your own north star, and held by the Organic Intelligence® framework, our sessions together support the natural discovery and emergence of greater well-being, clarity, compassion, vitality, and capacity — empowering you to feel easefully ready to embrace more of the life you're here for.
How this is unique...
I support your healing and growth without the intensity, excavation, effort, and endless techniques we are often told are essential — which can actually become a part of what holds us back from our highest potential.Genuine healing and growth — that which creates sustained improvement rather than just short-term relief — does not require us to give our effort, brave our pain, or find external answers.On the contrary, our ability to adopt such a tiresome mindset, even for a time, is strikingly telling of a greater power already beneath the surface...Our miraculous resilience and dedication to healing — despite centuries of unthinkable challenge — and our undoubted belief that what feels missing exists somewhere, says worlds of what we’re made of and the wholeness we innately know.Anchoring a solid boundary against the exhausting conditioning we are collectively suffering, and a protection of the innate wisdom of your biology:I endeavour to uplift your genuine potential by simply reflecting — like a moon — the brilliant sun of your natural self-organising impulse.This approach illuminates your innate wholeness and empowers your sovereignty, ease, and joy — simply by helping you strengthen and widen your connection with the ready source of answers and integration within you.As your self-partnership with your true nature strengthens, this increasingly frees you to reclaim the energy we are conditioned to spend on struggling and working it all out — instead, simply enjoying your effortless healing and growth, and spending your precious energy on what matters the most.
About Joy
I am a sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate being with balanced, pragmatic roots in ecology, biology, and behavioural science. Ten years ago, after decades of suffering from repressed trauma, a mild traumatic brain injury set me on a profound healing journey. That path revealed the gifts of my sensitivity and showed me how our innate, effortless self-healing capacity can bring true liberation and renewal.From these diverse threads, I weave a rich tapestry of care—from science, intuition, lived experience, nature, and embodied poetry—all in service of supporting your uniquely wild and precious journey of re–membering your innate wholeness.From my in-depth training in Organic Intelligence® and other somatic modalities, on the backbone of years of devoted self-practice, I bring an integrated understanding of what it takes to reclaim our direct relationship with the self-organising intelligence of life — the force of nature that heals, grows, and guides us into a better future.My compassion moves me to help your path to greater ease, joy, meaning, and well-being unfold more fluidly and efficiently than it ever did for me.
Foundations of my offering:
Purpose
I am moved to lovingly collaborate in uplifting and reawakening the true potential of humanity. I believe we are here to create and celebrate beauty, regenerate our collective past into new life, and remember how to live directly from the love and joy that spark life — the true power of our nature.
Land Connection & Intuition
I have a fluid connection with Earth — communicating directly with land, ecosystems, trees, water, animals, and the wholeness of human beings. Hearing and sensing these beings’ unfathomable compassion and wisdom has become my greatest support and collaboration — both historically and ongoingly informing the core of my work and service.Intuitive reflections, listened wisdom, and integrated energy support are naturally available and offered in our collaboration together, as aligned and desired. I have received my level 1 reiki practitioner attunement, and have offered energy support to animals and humans most of my life.
Lived Experience
For years, I knew intimately what it felt like to know there is much more to myself and life, yet feel unrelentingly held back — by fear, self-doubt, shame, overwhelm, chronic pain, and other chronic health conditions — unable to access and embrace the greater potential my heart knew is possible.Over 9 years, I tried over 60 healing and personal growth modalities in search of a way to feel better and create the life I yearned for. Now — thanks to the support of Organic Intelligence® — I feel evermore alive, clear, and empowered, and what used to feel like a lifelong journey of healing has transformed into a lifelong expansion of enjoyment.I now understand that ease, pleasure, and joy are not only our birthright, but they are more empowering and healing than anything else possibly could be. I have learned how to gently strengthen these resources of wholesome goodness, for myself and others, in easeful and naturally-accessible ways.
Professional Training
I offer my work and service from a progressive scientific understanding of neurophysiology, nervous system health, behavioural biology, trained technical skills in non-directive coaching and somatic facilitation, and study and contemplation of complex systems.My own path of regeneration and emergence ultimately led me into two professional certification trainings in modalities that facilitate the natural self-healing capacity of the body, each in different ways. I am a:• Certified Organic Intelligence® Coach
• TRE® Provider (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), in trainingInterestingly, both OI and TRE are rooted in self-healing approaches that I discovered in my own body several months before learning each modality existed. This gave me an embodied understanding of the benefits of the approaches alone, and the additional and essential benefits from being held and supported through them in a safe, compassionate, neurobiologically-informed container. This is particularly true in certain stages of re-partnering with one’s self-healing nature.
Personal Practice
In my rich history of personal experience in over 60 healing and growth modalities, I found a surprising few that improved my life in real, meaningful, and lasting ways. Some of these approaches have been keystone on my path, and some still support me today.What I learned to orient toward were the people and modalities that consistently guided me back to myself—to my own personal wellspring of resource, reassurance, and guidance.Each repetition of re-orienting back to this gentle strength was both a relieving miracle in itself, and a strengthening of the muscles that now keep me ever-more-rooted in the rich soil of wholeness and belonging—that earth we are all anchored in together, even when we don't feel it.
Land Acknowledgment
I live with deep gratitude and reverence for the lands and waters of the place I call home—the unceded territories known and cared for by the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) peoples for thousands of years.The ever-present essence of the vibrant, richly fertile land that flourished before the name and concrete of Vancouver, BC existed is a continuous presence beneath my feet, pulsing through me even today. It fills me with admiration, grief, resource, connection, guidance, and inspiration.

Our bodies hold a natural wellspring of wisdom — a tangible intelligence that supports our healing, growth, and authentic life path.When this wellspring is physiologically liberated from our systemically-conditioned tendency to effort against what's wrong, it becomes a steady-flowing river of resource— carrying us gracefully, all the way, to the boundless ocean of our true nature.
