Career Coaching

Feeling stuck, burned out, and craving something completely different?

You’ve been giving everything to your career, but now you’re drained, frustrated, and wondering if there’s more to life than this. Maybe you’re:

An accountant dreaming of working on a horse ranch
A bank executive longing to become an artistic director
A tech marketer ready to start the pottery business you’ve always been dreaming of
A stay-at-home mom who’s been out of the field so long, you don’t know where to begin

If this is you, you’re ready for a big shift. But the transition feels terrifying. You don’t know how to get from A to B, and that uncertainty can feel paralyzing. I get it. I’ve been there.

MEET JOYNA

Find out what led me to this point.

I know what it feels like to realize you need a change in your career…and to try to ignore it anyway.

In my past career as an educator, I was checking off all the boxes in living life “right”, and from the outside, I looked fine. Inside, I felt anxious, frustrated, and deeply out of alignment. I was STUCK to the point where I finally had to put the brakes on everything…

Let’s see how our stories connect—and how we can begin turning your dreams into something real.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So much has changed in the last year since I started working with Joyna! When I started working with her, I was in a very deep rut and controlled by my anxieties and low moods. But Joyna has been the steady friend that has helped me to learn to love myself, take better care of myself, and see my future in a more positive light. Things are beginning to open up for me now, and I feel more excited and hopeful about my future than I ever have before, thanks to my coaching work with Joyna. Know that with coaching, you have to meet the coach half way by taking action and steps, but if you are ready to make a positive change in your life, Joyna is a great guide to have with you! She brings many skills to the table, but the ones I want to highlight here are her kind and caring nature, sense of humor, and flexible approach to working with her clients - taking in their ideas as well as offering her own. If you give her a call, I am certain you won't regret it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyna has been absolutely fantastic to work with as I launch my own business. She has a wealth of resources and tools to help with whatever it is that you are addressing in your life and I found that I came away from each session energized with new ideas to further my career and align my life more deeply with my values. She has been an invaluable help to me over the past six months we've worked together and I highly recommend Joyna to help you achieve your personal and professional goals!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyna is such a joy to work with. During our time together, I have learned so much about myself and how to navigate through professional and personal challenges. Joyna brings her full self to every meeting--even in virtual meetings, her warmth and caring nature shine through. In the first six months of working with her, I can honestly say that I trust her completely and that I know she has my best interests at heart. She has a true talent of listening to your issues and then using exercises to reframe and guide you to a point of transformation. I am looking forward to continue working with Joyna for as long as I can. Can't recommend her enough!

I started working with Joyna in early 2020, and not only has she been a phenomenal career coach but a mentor. Joyna is a true professional who possesses grace and exemplifies openness and compassion. In all the coaching sessions I've had with Joyna, she has guided me step by step according to my comfort level. I've benefitted from every single session, always coming from every session feeling at ease, inspired and confident; she has helped me create my definition of success and envision a realistic and healthy future. Joyna's creativity and guidance is endless; every exercise she guides me through is tailored to my learning style, situation, and need- she always has the perfect practice/exercise at the right time. I am sure everyone would benefit greatly from having a life and career coach like Joyna, who brings sunshine, laughter, guidance, clarity, mentorship to your personal and professional life! Joyna deserves a million gold stars, and is worth her weight in gold.

Oh, and let me not forget to tell you about Joyna's fantastic newsletters, they are filled with wisdom, laughter, tips and tool that you can apply to  your personal and professional life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyna is a phenomenal coach who has inspired and guided me to feel more confident in my personal and professional goals and vision, and, because of her support, I've found lots of opportunities for growth and development! Throughout the coaching sessions, Joyna was professional, intuitive, curious, progressive, and supportive. She was fully present for each meeting, prepared with thoughtful questions and an open mind. I found our coaching to be a terrific blend of left-brain right-brain work, many of the tools and exercises I continue to go back to for continued support and reflection. Her guidance not only helped me see myself outside of my personal view but helped me get to the heart of what empowers me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyna's coaching is the best investment for self care I have ever had from an employer.  I feel lucky to learn, get personal insight and have fun while developing long lasting life skills.  Getting to know my strength and understanding where my "weaknesses" stem from and how to overcome them has changed how I approach life and it has proven to augment the development of how to better approach challenges.  I'm loving this!  Anyone who is open to developing their personal approach to life's challenges can not go wrong with Joyna.  She is amazing and I am blessed to get this opportunity.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Joyna for eight months and can say that we have (unexpectedly) touched on all aspects of life. She is the attentive ear and caring voice that everyone could benefit from, but not everyone is lucky enough to have when they need. I originally went to her for support after a difficult life event but since then she has become someone I can count on to to listen and help me work through anything that I'm struggling with, big or small. Whatever it is, I know that talking to Joyna will be a step in the right direction. She's full of great questions and has a knack of shining a light over the good ideas I had unwittingly discarded. She's great at following up on the things we discuss with useful information. She keeps me motivated and accountable, for the self imposed deadlines, yoga I know I need, any goal really. Joyna is on my team, helping me figure out the best way forward. I'm grateful to have found her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyna is the best life and business coach I’ve ever worked with, and the results have been beyond what I hoped for.  Upon our first meeting, I knew that there was a wealth of expertise and coaching strategies behind her calm, nurturing manner. And, indeed, my work with Joyna has resulted in more effective leadership, better time management, greater work life/personal life balance, clear intention and more joy, all of which help me build a stronger team for our organization.  And, beyond our individual coaching, Joyna has provided breakthrough team-building workshops which have helped our staff re-connect after 18 months of working remotely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn't sure what to expect, but knew that I had been stuck like a broken record for years. Joyna has guided me through a transformation.  She is highly skilled and has immense ability to apply this practice in guiding me to new ways of viewing situations, reframing my view of the path ahead for my career and my life.  Things that were insurmountable feel erased, choices that were at odds are now in concert, and scary "caves" to get lost in now have clear and joyful paths through.
