Meet Joy
Joy Shaw is an artist, alchemist, and guide who helps people turn their lived experience into embodied wisdom and authentic expression. Her work is rooted in the understanding that we are human beings, not human doings—and that conscious creation flows from beingness. When we remember who we are, embody that truth, and create from within, life itself becomes a form of art.
Joy’s path has moved through birth work, motherhood, trauma, radical recovery, and the long, devoted journey of healing mind, body, and spirit. Surviving a stroke became the threshold that awakened her to presence, deepened her reverence for the human experience, and ignited a lifelong commitment to living intentionally. She learned that transformation is not a task; it is a relationship—with self, with truth, with the intelligence of the body.
What she offers now is the synthesis of decades of lived experience: a grounded, intuitive, creative approach to becoming who you truly are.
Joy’s facilitation blends embodiment practices, reflective inquiry, creative exploration, and the subtle art of pattern observation. She guides people through the discomfort that precedes expansion, the shadow that reveals truth, and the thresholds where identity meets possibility. Her work is an invitation into living art, where you learn to experience yourself as both the canvas and the creator.
Joy’s life is her practice - quiet mornings grounding in nature, deep presence with her daughters, creative exploration, and the continual refinement of her own becoming. She believes that when you live from your being, expression becomes effortless, and when you express your truth, creation becomes art…living art. Joy believes that when you choose to evolve into the person you were always meant to be, and consciously create from that authentic space, then what you do is becomes a natural expression of who you are.
Her philosophy unfolds through four dimensions of transformation: Harmony, Authenticity, Alchemy and Evolution.
If you feel the nudge, the stirring or sense that you are on the edge of becoming, Joy would love to hear your story.

A Note on This Season of My Life
As I enter this new chapter of empty nesting, my work is becoming more mobile — naturally woven with the landscapes that restore and inspire me. I’m traveling more, spending time in wild places, and letting nature shape my own creative evolution.
This mobility allows me to meet individuals and communities where they are: offering support, workshops, ceremony, and deeper transformational spaces in the places that call to me — and to those who feel called to this work.
If you’d like to bring me to your community, collaborate, or explore what’s possible, you’re welcome to reach out.
And if you want to follow along with my travels and unfolding adventures, you’ll find them shared on my social channels below.
