About Joy
Hi, I'm Joy, it's lovely to meet you! And it would be my pleasure to work with you and the animal/s you share your life with. To reassure you, here's a bit about my background:
I grew up as a Lancashire Lass – you may notice a northern twang! Then, after Uni I spent 16yrs working in London's corporate machine. However in 2014, I decided to retrain completely … and become a Dog Trainer. I set up Joyful Dogs with the goal of helping dog owners enjoy the best possible partnership with their pooch.
In 2025 coincidence and two ongoing health issues led me to book a spiritual healing session, which I can only describe as miraculous! The alopecia and lymph gland issues I'd endured for over 20 years - which no medics had been able to remedy – improved radically. It was incredible, and such a relief. I am very grateful to the incredible healer and her guides for their gentle, wise care. In fact, I was so astonished by the ‘energy healing’ I decided to study it and retrain. I became a qualified Animal Reiki healer and am also certified Animal Communicator. I see these modalities as other ways to support our dogs (and animals in general) – it’s been a joyous experience!
Understanding how to work with Spirit to channel the universal wisdom (available to us all) has opened my mind to new possibilities. It would be my pleasure to work with you and the animals you share your life and your love with.
