"After only 6 weeks of working with Joy I had begun to resolve major life challenges that, after years of traditional therapy, I found myself still struggling with. Her intuition and wisdom has proven invaluable and her constant encouragement and genuine enthusiasm is unmatched. With a lot of hard work and a gifted teacher by my side, I truly believe, for the first time, that there is a better way to live this life and that lasting change is possible. I consider myself blessed to have Joy with me on this journey."

So what is a Life Coach?
"A Life Coach is very much like a sports coach—someone who is considered an expert, or for certain has a great amount of expertise, in a specific area that you specifically want to become more empowered. By availing yourself of their knowledge, wisdom, advice and direction, you can become better and more in control at something that can really make a difference in your life."
How do you do that?
"I spend as little time possible on the past. Just enough to understand some of the reason and rhythm behind the behaviors patterns and beliefs that have kept you limited, and in the way of having what it is you truly want and deserve. But after that, it’s all about staying in the now and dealing with the issues of today. My intentions are always to inspire and encourage my clients to use their own personal power to create the ultimate fantasy; Having an easier and more joyful Extraordinary life...No Matter what the circumstances."
Is that what you do as a Life Coach?
"Yes, that and a lot more. Each person comes to the table with their own personal mishagosh, their own issues, hang-up’s, family dynamics, assets and liabilities...as well as their own individual goals, wants and needs. My job as a Life Coach is to zero in on what is really getting in their way for them to have what they really want in life.
My goal is to help my clients expose their inner demons and relieve their pain and frustrations so that they can more clearly access what they really want. During this process I provide them with easy tools that can instantly be utilized to help them move thru and on to the place they want and deserve to be. "
Why do you think you are the perfect choice?
"Well if your desire is to have an extraordinary life...no matter what the circumstances or so called “reality” is swirling around you, I honestly believe that my life experiences have earned me a PHD in that area, and you couldn’t have come to a better place! I have lived such a diversified life, walked in many other people’s shoes, researched and worked with thousands of women over the years, when my clients tell me how they can easily relate to my down-to-earth suggestions, I know what they mean. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to make a positive difference in other peoples lives. To share the life lessons that have changed my life, and to demystify “the secret” so that each and everyone of us can create the life they want in an abundant world filled with love and joy. "
Why does anyone need a Life Coach?
"I don’t know if anyone really needs anything but food, water, a safe place to sleep, someone to love and be loved by. Having a Life Coach needs to come from a choice to create a better version of the life that you are now living... and the desire to reach out to someone you believe can help you do that.
Why does a champion like Tiger Woods still work with a coach? Why did Oprah choose go to Dr. Phil to coach her before she went to trial? Why do thousands of very savvy bright people all over the world chose to work with Life, business or physical coaches? Because they know that to become better, possibly the best at what they do or who they want to be, working with a coach will get them to where they want to go faster, better equipped and in much better shape. "
So how does someone begin to work with you?
"Since my clients are usually very busy people with very busy lives, I give all my sessions over the phone...so giving me a call is a good beginning. We then can discuss my fees and design a program that works perfectly for you! Usually we speak once a week, day or evening depending on my clients time constraints, for a specific amount of time. In other words, I am very flexible as long as the commitment is there: You want help and I want to help you. For me, that’s the key that opens the heart and will change your world."

**excerpted from a national radio interview
"After a very difficult four years, going through a deep depression and a weight gain of about 100 pounds, I was almost ready to do something about my life, but didn't have a clue where to begin. A friend convinced me to go to one of Joy's seminars and I felt a connection. A couple of months later, I was still feeling lost and decided to get a second dose of Joy. After breaking down into tears while she hugged me, I decided that it was time - I was finally ready.
We started our individual sessions in October and though I can be VERY stubborn and have struggled a bit, at times (it's very hard to undo 20 years of negativity), I've really made some differences in my life. With her coaching, I've now lost 35 pounds and still climbing, I feel emotionally stronger than I have in many years, and am getting closer and closer each week to making major changes in my career, relationships, and in my life as a whole. I expect that by next year I will be a totally different person - and LOVING IT!!"

"I have been working with Joy for six months, reading her book and listening to her voice. I found her messages to be simple to understand, yet highly motivating. When I'm angry, I read the anger story and tips and then listen to the audio. She reminds me how to feel these things and incorporate the results in my life.
Our phone consultation sessions have been a high point in my week and she has helped me get intimacy back in my relationship, love back in my relationship with my dad and joy in everyday things."
