Dream + Lead + Inspire
As a Certified Joy Facilitator, you will be able to lead Joy Sessions™, workshops and retreats for individuals, groups, and organizations both in person and online. These experiences can range from short, high-impact sessions to full-day or multi-day immersions depending on your goals and audience.
I've had the privilege of facilitating Joy experiences with organizations such as lululemon, Poppy Barley, TD Canada Trust, SAJE Wellness, NAIT, Fairmont Hotels, ATB, Google and countless organizations. Each collaboration has shown that when Joy becomes part of the culture, engagement and connection naturally increase.
You will receive all of the training, resources, and ready-to-use templates you need to confidently bring this work into your own business or workplace.
The possibilities are expansive, and the impact is limitless.

Join me as we light up the world like a field full of fireflies!
I began The Joy Sessions™ in 2018 by combining my education, the wisdom of many teachers, and a lifetime of lived experience to create this one-of-a-kind facilitation program rooted in Joy.
Through The Joy Sessions™ and The Joy Method™, I’ve built a thriving business and a deeply aligned life. It has been my honour to support countless clients in deliberately designing lives filled with purpose, peace, and Joy.
From the very beginning, I held a vision of lighting up the world like a field full of fireflies. That vision has become the heartbeat of this certification.  A movement of next-level Joy Leaders guiding transformation in their lives, businesses, and communities.
I would love for you to be part of it. If you feel the call, apply today or reach out with any questions.
Here's to lighting up the world, from the inside out, TOGETHER!
