Meridian Soul Care helps women—entrepreneurs, creatives and art mamas—find healing and belonging through one-on-one sessions and soul care circles by creating space for personal reflection, art practice and soul growth.
Hi, I’m Joy Star Bright! I grew up as a missionary kid going back and forth from Chile and the US. I’ve always longed for a sense of belonging inside, to feel at home in my own skin. Often I don’t fully understand what others understand—like I continually “missed the memo.”
As an Art Mama, I have always taken time for my art and taught my kids to enjoy art. I’m so grateful for my three amazing kids, but my days can get swallowed up in their needs and the general demands of life. There are times I feel overlooked, like I’m losing myself.
This statement describes this exactly:
“We became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process” – ACA Yellow Book
Recently, I’ve started learning how to fully accept myself and the stage of life I’m in. I’ve stopped abandoning myself in my relationships. In doing so, I’ve been able to find my way home to God and discover my truest self.
Sometimes artists and creatives can feel appreciated for what we create, but still have a deep sense of loneliness. Connecting with other like-hearted creatives can help us not feel so alone in our creative journey.
During the pandemic I worked through difficult marital issues, broken friendships, and the loss of safe community. As I look around, I see many others deconstructing and reconstructing their faith as well. If it weren’t for special soul companions who helped me along the way, I wonder if I’d still have faith at all. That’s why I started Meridian Soul Care—to help others heal, grow, and thrive in their journey of faith and creativity.
Soul Sessions are one-on-one hour-long sessions with me using a four-fold focus called Heartscape: A Soul Survey. In this 6-week package we will use creative expression, spiritual practice, and intentional reflection to pump life back into your heart.
These sessions will care for your soul in the context of the most meaningful areas of our life—the Four Relationships:
The initial package will be 6 one-on-one sessions scheduled over 6 weeks: an intro week, four weeks focused on the Four Relationships, and a wrap up week to help you move forward on your own or schedule more sessions as needed.
This 6 week package includes:
Or you may choose from the following plans:
I have room for 4 clients this season .
Soul care is the regular process of cultivating spiritual practice, taking inventory of emotions, growing in personal acceptance while also forming meaningful relationships with others and our creative work.
I provide a gentle application process, including a questionnaire, discovery call, and personal journaling prompts ahead of time. We should have ample time to decide if this is a fit before the payment is made.
Six weeks, meeting once a week for a 60-minute session.
About 1-2 hours a week for your personal reflection time. It can be taken in 15min segments. It doesn’t have to be all at once.
I offer a free 30-minute discovery session to decide if the package is right for you, and a full package refund up through the start of the second session. After the second session, no refunds are given.
Therapy is treatment intended to diagnose, relieve and/or heal a mental health issues, childhood trauma or other disorders. Soul Sessions are intended to offer peer support and an accountable presence in your life. In Soul Sessions you will have space to evaluate your relationships and discover your own answers using creative exploration. This will alleviate pain and provide a measure of healing but it will not look like traditional therapy using scientific researched modalities nor diagnose a clinical disorder. I am not a trained therapist, therefor I do not offer therapy. If you are currently seeing a therapist I encourage you to continue with treatment – Meridian Soul Care is not a therapy replacement but to be used in tandem, as support in your recovery and mental health journey.
These sessions are designed with space for you in mind. It will be entirely focused on your own process and needs, without the need to reciprocate. Because this is a paid service, it is specifically for you.
