After relocating to Florida in 2017, Joey faced the profound loss of her spousean experience that changed the course of her life. Seeking healing, she found her way to yoga. Her first Restorative Yoga class brought a sense of release and peace that she had been searching for. That single class sparked a deep calling to share the transformative power of yoga with others. Joey earned her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification and soon after completed her 300-hour Advanced Training , continuing to expand her knowledge and connection to mind-body wellness. She holds additional certifications in Reiki , Sound Healing , and specialized yoga practices, allowing her to offer a truly holistic and nurturing experience for her students.

When shes not on the mat, youll find Joey working out at the YMCA, spending time with her family and friends, doting on her beloved Bichon, Maya, or capturing lifes beautiful moments through her photography.
