Підтримати Joy Chmura

Hello, thank you for stopping by! My name is Joyce, you can call me Joy. My pronouns are She/They. I have been a practicing Licensed Massage Therapist for 16 years and am a certified Reiki III Sacred Flame Energy Healer. I love what I do! I love the connection and care I can offer to my community. My ability to see where care and nourishment is needed is a gift I feel so grateful to offer.

In recent years I have had a few unexpected challenges that have helped bring focus and clarity into my life and this beautiful world we live in.

To keep this part short and still give a little context: Perimenopause started-->Autistic and ADHD traits started presenting strongly-->Autistic burnout hit, with severe depression and extremely reduced executive functioning-->True REST & recovery started--> I disappeared from much of my external world to cope with managing my internal world and keep my business/income from drying up-->I lost friends, lost the ability to communicate, learned some about my trauma responses, learned a lot about how to process hard things, how to be in the uncomfortable & how to land back in my body after living exhausts me out of it, learned no one knows how to communicate, keep trying--> Lots of nature walks, lots of solitude, lots of re-acquainting myself with my emotions--> Moved into recovery and started to dream again --> Practicing the art of Pacing and listening to my inner wisdom--> Making plans and believing in myself again. --> MAKING SOME MOVES! :)

And here we are.

This is when I ask for you to believe too! Whether in me, Joyful Soul Wellness, your own dang self! Whatever we choose--> we must keep believing.

My main reason for starting this account is to provide a boost during a busy and transitional season. Joyful Soul wellness is moving spaces, to a new home in a community wellness center, surrounded by trees and birdsong. Blosm Studio is a new healing space in the heart of the Wedgwood neighborhood of North Seattle. https://www.blosmstudio.com

It has taken over the space the Seattle Audubon society had been using and, delightfully, sits on a land trust in which the old growth trees are protected giving us a sanctuary of peace in the midst of the bustling world. I feel so grateful for my community here in Wedgwood and throughout the Seattle area. I am so honored to be chosen to continue to offer intentional connection and care and Believe the next version of Joy and Joyful Soul Wellness to blossom into existence will lead to even more ways to curate healing spaces, foster safety, build up belief, explore authenticity and lean into curiosity. You are so worth it. We are so worth it.

I thank you, my dear community and will continue to share in the overflow of the care and support that I have and continue to receive. Plans for Outreach, volunteering and connecting with causes throughout Puget sound is on the horizon. I look forward to sharing my journey as it unfolds.

Your support and help will go a long way in supporting me, Joy, in my curiosity and creativity. In exploring how curating spaces and moments to bring out authentic expression and deeper understanding of ourselves.

Help navigate this world with me and together we can re-envision what it means to thrive. I am so grateful for your love, care and support! Thank you. -JOY
