How does it happen? The research-based practices I teach rewire the brain for more joy, better health, and happier relationships. Your brain is wired to focus on the negative to protect you. But if you can’t turn the alarm bells off when the danger passes, you suffer. Western culture amplifies negativity by championing thinking over feeling, disconnecting you from your body and felt experience, often in subtle ways. Our culture focuses on complaining about things we have no power to change. When you internalize this message, your energy drains away. You can empower yourself by learning to think and feel together, without turning away any of your parts. With compassion and joy, you can discover and live what’s most important to you.

As long as folks are practicing, the results keep coming in. A weekly community supports daily practice by offering accountability, inspiration, and a gentle place to land when times are tough. The skills I teach build goodwill, a sense of playfulness, and the ability to deeply listen to oneself and others. A practice of joy blends fun and compassion, readying us for whatever life throws our way!

What are the differences between the class packages?

All class packages use the same Core Joy Series curriculum.

• At the Silver level, you receive a series of 8 lessons that were recorded with a live group. PDF practices come with that series.

• At the Gold level, you receive that recorded package + 4 live sessions with a cohort of 8 people or fewer to review and practice what was learned in the recorded series.

• At the Platinum level, you meet live with your cohort of 8 or fewer people for each of 8 sessions, weekly tailoring the work to your life in a live class setting. All sessions are recorded for your own reflection and learning afterwards, available for a minimum of 3 months. These recordings are not available outside the cohort.

• In addition, each level has its own collection of bonuses, which are listed below.
