About Me

Hi, I’m Joi, the owner of Joi of Holistic Coaching! In order to find balance, we must pay attention to our entire self, from our crown to our root. I began this program because there were so many people missing vital parts to their self-care. Not having a working self-care plan is like not having a strong core – everything is a bit harder. That is why I encourage everyone to begin with self-care before diving into anything else, especially shadow work.

Being a woman of color and a witch meant I had to find a path that was not necessarily traditional. I have been in therapy and took many psychology classes, as that was my minor in college. I knew I could add something to this space for others like myself who want to better themselves but wanted to have a healthy blend of spiritual practices.

The BIPOC community is often underrepresented in the spaces of witchcraft and other earth-based practices. I also wasn’t always comfortable discussing my practices with my traditional therapist. I mean, “hey I’m psychic,” feels like it would have gotten me locked up or coming in twice a week.

After a pretty ugly breakup with an ex, I lived away from my family and I hated my job. I was depressed and frustrated with the way I saw myself and my life. So, I began a journey to truly understand and embrace myself, shadow side and all. I began a podcast with my friend, Praxie, I journaled, meditated, and studied because I knew I could be better to and for myself. My love for my spiritual practice motivated me to see the world in a way I did not think I could. I did not want emotions and would logic my way right out of them. By not being able to validate my own thoughts and feelings, I was unable to clearly understand my trauma.

I had to learn how to be honest with myself. Once I came out the other side by friends and family began to notice the difference. They were shocked too. Shortly after I met the man that was to become my husband, I began a business that would thrive within the next two years and begin building this company you see now. I had a lot of learning, growth, to do before finally embracing the path I always wanted to walk.

Before doing that, I did not have the capacity to accomplish my dreams because I was too busy holding the nightmares at bay.

I was proud and happy of all that I had accomplished. When others began asking my advice I knew one dream that was still with me. I want to help others overcome trauma and their negative self-talk so they could thrive too. That’s when I knew coaching was for me.

So I hit the books again and obtained my certification in spirituality and coaching. I am also studying to complete my herbalist and yoga certifications. Doing what I love what is such a privilege, I love the humans who entrust me with their emotional growth. I have learned so much on this journey that I cannot wait to share my wisdom. To do something to help raise the vibrations all around us. I respect every belief system so if you don’t resonate with earth-based spirituality but you still want to grow with me. Please do not hesitate. The most important thing is to do the work so we can all grow together. Take a look at our services and reach out to me today!
