Why I Do the Work I Do – My Story

Why I Do What I Do

Before I became a healer…
Before I became a mother…
Before I started holding space for others to rise…
I had to walk through it all myself.

My journey began in the shadows long before the sacred, grounded life I now live. In my younger years, I turned to addiction to numb the pain I didn’t know how to face. I was carrying deep emotional wounds, silently screaming for love, safety, and belonging. Substances became my escape, but they also became my cage.

And wrapped around those addictions were relationships that mirrored my own unhealed pain cycles of dysfunction, disconnection, betrayal, and heartbreak. I gave away pieces of myself just to feel wanted. I tried to fix others so I didn’t have to face what was broken in me. I stayed in places that felt familiar, even when they hurt, because I hadn’t yet learned how to choose me.

Eventually, the addictions, the broken relationships, and the emotional chaos brought me to my knees. And in that moment raw and stripped bare something inside whispered
No more.

That whisper became my turning point.

I stepped into my healing journey not as a professional, but as a woman desperate to save her own life. Reiki came first and when I felt the energy move through my hands, I knew I had found my way back to myself. It was gentle, yet powerful, quiet, yet deeply transformative and it reminded me that I was never broken only buried.

As I healed, layer by layer, I began to rebuild my life from the inside out. I became a mother, determined to raise my children in a way that honoured truth, connection, and emotional freedom. I began creating a life rooted in compassion, clarity, and conscious choice one I had never seen growing up, but deeply craved.

And this is why I do the work I do.

Because I know what it’s like to feel lost, to search for love in the wrong places, to silence yourself for fear of being too much or not enough.
I know the ache of failed relationships and the shame of starting over again and again.
I know what it’s like to live in survival and I know how powerful it is to choose healing.

My work isn’t just about holding space it’s about guiding people through the depths, because I’ve been there too. I help others reconnect to their truth, break old patterns, and reclaim their power not through perfection, but through presence.

I work with those who are ready to stop running and start remembering. Who want to heal their past, rise from their pain, and build something real within and around them.

This work is my soul’s calling.
It’s not just a profession it’s my lived experience turned into purpose.

Because if I can rise from addiction, heartbreak, and self-abandonment so can you.
And I’ll be right here, walking beside you, every step of the way.Warm regards,

Joy
