Joyce Holistic fitness and wellness coach
Joyce is our holistic fitness and wellness coach. Her 20 years of bedside nursing experience gave her a deep respect for prevention and for the daily habits that support long-term health, and that's what she helps clients build.
Her functional fitness program is grounded in gait, the way you walk, and human biomechanics. Low-impact exercises progress with weights and equipment to build sustainable strength and coordinated, athletic movement. She also teaches beginner boxing.
Joyce found strength through combat sports during a difficult season, and she brings a caring, practical approach fueled by faith to wellness of mind, body and spirit. She offers one-on-one and couples training, including faith-based coaching that supports marriage reconciliation and lasting connection.
