Hi there, I’m Katie Joy.
YOUR HOLISTIC OPTIMIZATION COACH & JOY EXPANDER
I’M THRILLED YOU’VE FOUND YOUR WAY HERE
I want to take a moment to acknowledge the challenges you may be facing. Perhaps you're in a space where the quest for fulfillment feels like uncharted territory, or you're eager to tap into your unique gifts while juggling the responsibilities of life. Burnout might be knocking on your door, leaving you craving more joy and meaning in your day-to-day life. You’re ready to remove what’s blocking you so that you can experience everything you were meant for with ease.
I understand these challenges intimately because I've walked a similar path—a path marked by deep reflection, healing, and growth across the spectrum of health and well-being.
My journey to becoming a wellness coach has been a deeply personal evolution. As a former athlete, my initial exposure to sports psychology, physical therapy, and nutrition ignited a passion for health and wellness, alongside my love for coaching youth sports. A long streak of what would become career-ending injuries became a pivotal tipping point, which led me to mindset practices, not only as a coping mechanism but as a means to reinvent myself.
Motivated to channel the passion and energy I could no longer invest in competing, I explored areas that felt genuinely meaningful and in service to others' personal development and joy. In addition to discovering one of my greatest passions and teachers, surfing, I also experienced the transformative power of yoga, which became a cornerstone of my healing journey, having devoted 15 years to my practice and immersive studies in Kerala, the Ayurvedic capital of India.
Despite nearly a decade of success in Fortune 500 tech, I twice walked away in pursuit of deeper meaning and a clearer understanding of my purpose. The constant struggle with burnout and unfulfillment led me to take a leap of faith, diving into a career in wellness coaching to align my passion and gifts with my life's work.
Through specializing and obtaining certifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the Science of Well-Being, rooted in psychology and neuroscience, while also drawing from diverse global modalities, I honed my approach before launching my practice. My passion for learning, growing, connecting, and uncovering deeper meaning has taken me around the world, where I've lived, loved, worked, volunteered, and immersed myself in the study of all things related to well-being and joy. This journey has not only shaped my expertise but fuels my commitment to guiding others toward a life rich in purpose, joy, and profound well-being.

I intricately weave together a diverse background and transformative personal journey from lifelong trauma to liberation and passionately living my purpose.
What sets me apart is the breadth of my knowledge that goes beyond my certifications to actual life experience, overcoming hardship by taking a deep dive into immersive practices as to rewire my beliefs and create an expansive life on my terms. I’ve walked the path and can offer experience, support, and perspective, whether you’re looking to build a whole new life from the ground up or fine tune your mindset to unblock you from your greater success. I’ve rebuilt my life from the same framework I take my clients through.
Having navigated my way through burnout, unfulfillment, and destabilizing family crisis, I connect empathetically with my clients on a deeper level and understand the complexities and pressure that come with sustained top performance, staying afloat amidst crisis, and the process of reinventing myself. I know the toll it takes on all aspects of health and as a result, am equipped with an in-depth resource toolkit to support your healing, reprogramming, and achievement of limitless well-being and success.
My commitment to continuous learning is deeply personal. This self-discovery informs both my studies and my work with clients, allowing me to approach coaching with a nuanced understanding of resilience and the transformative power of healing from within. My goal is not only to guide you toward wellness but to facilitate a journey towards a life rich in purpose, joy, and expansion.
