SACRED EMBODIMENT COACHING

LIFE TRANSITIONS 

SELF-EMPOWERMENT

LOVE + RELATIONSHIPS

Presence takes practice.

For the highly sensitive
and deeply attuned---

somatic guidance and support
for capacity and calm

So much can be distilled to

your state of presence.

How fully you are here

in this moment.

How deeply you are listening to yourself and to others.

And how consciously you receive, move with,

and share energies

into the narrative whole.

Welcome!
I'm Joia.​​​

What do I offer you?

At its heart, my work is tantric

in the truest sense:

a deep reverence for the body as sacred,

and for presence itself as a practice.

My coaching sessions are judgement-free,

trauma informed, and spectrum celebratory.

I created DanceSongStory to offer

a calm, gentle, and encouraging space

for you to deepen into and direct your presence

with more clarity, containment, and confidence.

Observe your being with wonder and awe.

Discover and delight in the subtle qualities

of your unique and precious body,

and become more playful and intentional

with your expressions of self.​​​​​​

I'll practice with you.

PHILOSOPHY

Background

​Joia was shaped early by devotion.

She grew up in the Self-Realization Fellowship

of Paramahansa Yogananda, among people who lived and practiced care, wisdom, and a deep reverence for the sacred.

Long before she had words for it,

song and movement were her way of relating

to the world around her.​

Her work is informed through her own practices and lived experience: meditation in

the Kriya Yoga tradition, music and song,

dance and expressive arts,

intentional presence, and story.​ ​

 

Her voice has been described as "capable of expressing every facet of the human heart". - Danny Schmidt 

 

Joia is certified in Restorative Storytelling and is a VITA  - trained Sex, Love, and Relationships Coach dedicated to helping people return to alignment with their best, most capable selves,

and to meet the world, and each other,

with grace, intention, and care.​​​​
