Do you resonate with any of these struggles?

✣ You feel stuck in your calling or creativity.
Maybe your creative work or dream is on the backburner—or maybe you’re not even quite sure what you’re called to do.

✣ You’re weighed down by emotional baggage.
Church hurt, childhood pain, or relational trauma have left you struggling to find healing and peace.

✣ You’re at a crossroads of a major life transition.
Whether it’s divorce, a career shift, retirement, or empty-nesting, big changes have you feeling unsteady and uncertain.

You are not alone!

I’m Joy, and I’d love to help you find courage, healing, and direction.

Growing up as a missionary kid between Chile and the US, I often longed for a sense of belonging, to feel at home in my own skin. As an artist and mom of three, life’s demands have sometimes left me feeling overlooked and disconnected from myself.

Over time, I’ve learned to care for my soul, fully accept who I am, stop abandoning myself in relationships, rediscover a deep connection with God, and step into what I’m made to do. I created Meridian Soul Care because I’m passionate about helping people like you do the same.

A Gentle (and Even Fun) Approach to Soul-Deep Healing

Soul care is at the intersection of mental health, self-care, and spiritual formation. As a soul care coach, I understand that emotional healing and spiritual growth require more than quick fixes or surface-level solutions.

Through my Jesus-centered coaching approach, I create a gentle, judgment-free space where people can process their struggles, rediscover their God-given purpose, and find authentic healing.

With specialized training in Brainspotting (a trauma treatment like EMDR) and personal experience navigating spiritual trauma, I help people work through everything from creative blocks and church hurt to major life transitions and relationship challenges.

Whether you're a busy mom feeling overwhelmed, a creative seeking to reconnect with your calling, or someone healing from past wounds, soul care sessions offer practical tools and spiritual guidance tailored to your unique journey.

I believe that taking time to listen deeply, honoring each person’s history with God, is what creates space for genuine transformation. Through intentional soul work and intimate connection with Jesus, my clients develop emotional resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and step confidently into their next season of life.

Questions

Questions *

  • Soul care is essentially caring for your soul.

    Meridian Soul Care is a Christian peer support service at the intersection of mental health, self-care, and spiritual formation.

    Effective care for our souls requires us to slow down enough forour souls to be seen, safe, soothed & satisfied.

  • Scripturally I align with the Apostles' Creed which reads:

    I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

    I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;

    he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

    I believe in a God who is deeply personal, present, and overflowing with love. His love is not just something to understand but something to experience—a constant invitation into healing, transformation, and true belonging.

    I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came to reveal the heart of the Father. His life, death, and resurrection opened the way for us to live in the fullness of God’s love. Through Him, we are invited into intimacy with God, not through striving but through grace.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, who actively moves in our lives, guiding, comforting, and revealing truth. He speaks to our hearts, leading us into deeper encounters with God’s love and aligning our lives with His purposes.

    I believe that healing comes through connection—with God, ourselves, and others. Soul care, reflection, and creative exploration are sacred ways to make space for God’s love to meet us in the deep places.

    I believe we all belong in the love of God before we even believe. No one is excluded—there is a place at the table for everyone, no matter your race, gender, orientation, culture, denomination, or political background.

  • Yes! I am now accepting male clients in 2026. Particularly pastors and men in ministry.

  • Think of these sessions as soul sessions through art! My studio is filled with playful supplies for you to explore—because the goal is simple: to play, create, and connect.

    Art is a sacred space where the soul breathes. It is a place of reflection, healing, and encounter—where creativity becomes a pathway to experiencing the love of God.

    Soul care through art is not about skill or perfection; it’s about presence. It’s about making space to process emotions, engage with God, and listen deeply. Whether through journaling, sketching, painting, or simple creative expression, art helps us externalize what is stirring inside. It becomes an Ebenezer—a marker of where God has met us.

  • Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique that uses eye movements to help individuals process and resolve emotional and physical trauma. It is based on the premise that certain eye positions can access and activate areas of the brain where traumatic memories are stored. 

  • I offer one or two payment options. I also have a pray & pledge option for donations and a number of scholarships each season.

  • 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 first session. After the first session, no refunds are given.

  • No. Therapy is designed to diagnose, treat, and heal mental health issues, childhood trauma, or other disorders.

    Soul Sessions, on the other hand, offer peer support and a compassionate, accountable presence in your life.

    These sessions provide space for you to reflect on your relationships, explore your own answers through creative practices, and experience a sense of healing—but they do not follow traditional therapeutic modalities or provide clinical diagnoses.

    I am not a licensed therapist and do not offer therapy. If you are currently working with a therapist, I encourage you to continue.

    Meridian Soul Care is not a replacement for therapy but can serve as a complementary support in your healing and personal growth journey.

  • These sessions are intentionally designed to focus entirely on you—your process, your needs, and your growth. There is no expectation to give back or reciprocate. As a paid service, this time is fully dedicated to you.

  • I offer a thoughtful and gentle application process, including a questionnaire, a discovery call, and soul care experience opportunities beforehand. This allows us plenty of time to discern if it’s the right fit before any payment is made.

  • One round is four 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.
