Experiential Learning
Philadelphia + Virtual
Hi, I’m Joy
My work helps people feel more connected, present, and alive in their everyday lives.
Stress, numbness, overthinking, societal demands, technology, performance culture, and the expectation to constantly keep up - these pressures have become the new norm.
I can help you learn how to experience your life differently. Feel more connected to your body, your senses, your relationships, your pleasure and the experience of life as a gift..
Connection doesn't live in your head
Most people try to think their way through connection.
What to say.
How they’re coming across.
Whether it’s landing.
Meanwhile, your body is already picking up everything.
The tone in someone’s voice.
The shift in energy.
The moment something opens, or closes.
If you’re not tuned into your senses, you miss it.
Our Forgotten NATURE
Sensuality:
We’ve been taught to seek pleasure in achievement—checking off the to-do list, reaching the next milestone,
but this is a limited in comparison to the joy and bliss we experience when we are rooted in sensation, presence and appreciation for the moment at hand.
Our bodies hold a different kind of pleasure
When you begin to pay attention through your senses, not only do you uncover and experience more,
you also reshape neural pathways in your mind, helping you access the parts of yourself that have become dull or numb over time.
Pleasure doesn’t have to be reserved for sex. Pleasure can be found in the smallest, most ordinary moments.
