Here's what I'm all about...
Â
Hello and welcome! I'm the heart and soul behind Joy Stone Coaching.
My journey into the world of spiritual and soul coaching wasn't linear; it was born out of my own struggles with anxiety, self-doubt, and the constant pursuit of "enoughness." Like you, I appeared confident and "fine" on the outside, but inside, I was battling a relentless inner critic and a feeling of being perpetually stuck.
I grew up in a tumultuous and abusive environment, constantly battling feelings of insecurity, unworthiness, and a sense of not belonging. However, I made a conscious choice to not let my past define me. I took full responsibility for my life, even for the parts that weren't my fault. This radical shift in mindset set me free and allowed me to rise above my circumstances...
My path to healing began when I realized that traditional self-help methods and surface-level solutions weren't addressing the root of my struggles. This realization propelled me into a deep exploration of holistic and integrative approaches to well-being. Through this journey, I discovered powerful insights, practices, and teachers that facilitated profound personal growth and healing.
Empowered by my transformation, I felt a calling to support others navigating similar paths. Thus, Joy Stone Coaching was born—a space dedicated to guiding women through their unique journeys towards inner peace, self-acceptance, and a life led by their truest selves.

Professionally, I received my positive psychology training under Harvard Professor Tal Ben-Shahar, and hold numerous certifications in meditation, breathwork, yoga psychology and practice, and western positive psychology. I am the bestselling author of If I'm So Spiritual, Why Am I Still So Anxious? and Releasing Self Doubt.
