About Joy

Joy began exploring natural medicine in 1987 and began working with flower essences in 1997. She was drawn to the essences because they address the underlying emotional and mental causes of dis-ease while gently reminding us of balance. So she went directly to the flowers themselves to begin learning their medicines. She apprenticed with a master flower essence teacher on Maui and became inspired to further explore the healing energies of plants. Her dance with flower essences then branched into exploring essential oils and their healing scents and energies. Eventually, she created the products for The Essence Experience™, a company she founded, and also designed many personal formulas for individuals and groups.

Joy has also studied and practiced yoga for ten years. She explores an eclectic practice that invites personal inspiration and authentically opening to the moment as a journey of discovery. She invites everyone to listen for and move with their inner energy. She also teaches authentic movement classes and meditation exploring innocence and unfolding freedom from within.

More recently Joy has been studying  several forms of bodywork and subtle energy healing arts at places such as the Acupressure Institute and the Institute for Psycho-Structural Balancing.
