About Me

If you’re navigating the turbulent waters of divorce, dealing with your ex, or trying to find what “normal” looks like after divorce, Joy understands completely. She was a working mom with 2 teens when her husband’s infidelity rocked her world. She struggled with roller-coaster emotions and trying to jump through the legal hoops to get it done, all while keeping her kids on track. After the final decree was completed, she took time for herself to heal and rebuild a life that was uniquely her own, and now she wants to help you do the same. Joy retired from a 30-year career in law enforcement to focus on what her new life with her kids would look like and how she could be of service to other women. It began as a yoga teacher and meditation facilitator and then continued to grow into life coaching with her students. She realized that she could narrow that scope even more to help women with the hurt, anger and frustration of divorce. In her sessions, she utilizes tangible resources along with holistic methodologies to help focus her clients on their goals, their emotional regulation and their children to help them save time, money and emotional energy through the divorce process. As a recent empty nester, Joy realized that since she works remotely she could live anywhere and has relocated to the Charleston, SC suburbs to continue to find new opportunities and adventures. Divorce is an ending, but it’s also a beginning to a new chapter you get to write any way you see fit.
