About Joyce

My life today is filled with purpose, good health, and peace of mind.  I enjoy being a Wife, Mother, Step-Mother, and Grandmother.  It has brought me a lot of joy and some heartache adding a lot of wisdom and experience to my life.  I love the joy and laughter my Grandchildren bring to me.  I enjoy my pets; two golden retrievers - Daisy and Angel, and two cats - Prissy and Sassy. I enjoy being out in nature and I’m grateful for the beauty around me.  I enjoy gardening, playing tennis, walking, scrapbooking with friends, and riding my bicycle.  My intention is to support and help others experience good health, well-being, and a joyful life.  I receive so much pleasure and fulfillment as I share in my client’s journey of finding courage to live the life they have always wanted.

After years of going through life trying to prove my self worth, and over striving for acceptance and love in unfulfilling relationships and unfulfilling jobs I decided it was time to take charge of my destiny and make some changes.  On my personal path I’ve always had a natural curiosity and desire to learn.  This laid the foundation for lifelong learning and self-improvement.  My experiences led me to seeking support, information, classes, and help on depression, panic attacks, lack of fulfillment, dealing with death, meditation to connect with my own spiritual understanding, and help on focusing and making choices that would support my health and well-being.  Each of these opportunities of growth and transformation led me to an attitude of gratitude, knowing I have choices, and gave me the courage to take risks; supporting my life changes and how I view myself, my life, and the world.

I have found freedom in unlocking my vision as I practice daily making choices that support ME.  I practice taking risks daily and though painful at times it builds my self confidence and it’s taking me further out of my comfort zone into a more meaningful life that I enjoy.  It has been through this journey that I decided this was the work that called to my heart.  Through my coaching I can help others to experience what I have found.  It has been an amazing process for me and now I have the joy of witnessing my clients’ process of “Unlocking Their Vision” and begin to live life to the fullest - thriving instead of just surviving.

My passion is to share with you all that I have learned; the insights, tools, and skills to give you the support and help you need to move in the direction of healing, unlocking your vision, recognizing what you want, what you need, and finding the courage to take action.  Sometimes we don’t even know what we want or need until we purposely begin looking inside our heart and mind.  I will be there to support you in this process, with compassion and understanding.  I will support and encourage your accountability to yourself and your needs.  We can’t change the past but we can be present now, choose to take courage, and reach out for help in moving forward to a fulfilling life of good health, well-being and joy.  Accept and realize there is a beautiful person inside of you and as the healing begins your vision and your new life will unfold.

I am passionate about coaching and committed to professionalism. In 2005 I began formal certification training and work with the Fearless Living Institute and founder Rhonda Britten, www.fearlessliving.org.  I am a CFLC, Certified Fearless Living Coach and my coaching is based on Rhonda Britten’s book “Fearless Living”. Rhonda Britten is the author of: Fearless Living, Fearless Loving, How to Change Your Life in 30 Days, and Do I Look Fat in This (Get over your body and on with your life). Depending on my client’s needs my coaching will be based on all of Rhonda’s books. The concepts and tools in these books are invaluable and provide my client’s with the tools to Live the Life they desire. 

In 2007 I became a member of ICF (International Coaching Federation). By maintaining membership in ICF, coaches inform others that they are part of an influential voice that is shaping the future of coaching around the globe. I’m a member of the San Diego Professional Coaches Alliance providing tools and support helping coaches tap into their full potential. I also trained under the Life Purpose Institute and founder Fern Gorin; qualifying me with the title of Certified Life Purpose and Career Coach.
