I come from a lineage of strong, intuitive women, healers, wisdom keepers, and medicine women whose traditions have shaped the way I walk through this world. My roots span South America, Africa, and Asia, carrying the stories, strength, and resilience of those who came before me.

Yet, for years, I followed the path I thought I was supposed to take, building a corporate career in Sales, HR, and Learning & Development. On paper, I had everything: security, success, and a fast-paced, fulfilling life. But something was missing. No matter how much I achieved, there was a deep longing inside me for something more.

Then, life gave me a pause. In Portugal, I experienced breathwork for the first time, and everything shifted. It wasn’t just a practice; it was a doorway back to myself. This breakthrough led me deeper into Family Constellations, NLP, and shamanic practices, blending modern tools with the ancestral wisdom I carry. Through this transformation, J.O.Y was born, a sacred space for healing, growth, and reconnection."

"Through it all, one thing has remained constant, my husband, Jack Korsten. We've been together for over 20 years and married since 2013, growing and evolving alongside each other. Together, we are raising our daughter, Lua (our moon), who reminds me every day of the importance of presence, breaking cycles, and living with intention. Motherhood has deepened my understanding of healing, not just as something we do for ourselves, but as a gift we pass on to the next generation."
