Carol: Great success stories. Thank you. Dorothy, how has Joy Coaching® America benefited your life personally and/or professionally?
Dorothy: Joy Coaching® America has had a profound effect on my life personally, as it has helped me come to terms with my own grief and heartache. The music has helped me have a sense of peace, knowing that a loving Heavenly Father is there to comfort and guide me. Professionally, Joy Coaching® America opened a new door for me and a way to share my compassion and love to all and to help each person through their own journey.
Carol: How do you feel the Joy Coaching® America Program, as it focuses on reducing stress, through deep relaxation, accessing the 5 senses, could be beneficial in anyone’s life?
Dorothy: The Joy Coaching® Program can take anyone that is open to a place of deep relaxation by using the five senses from the youngest child to senior citizens. We all need comfort and understanding. My friends’ young children beg me to bring the lullabies and oils to tuck them in at night because it makes them feel “special and loved.” A client in his mid-seventies told me “Everyone needs this!”
Carol: Is learning to be a “Joy Coach” in any way difficult? I would think not as it seems such a unique modality.
Dorothy: Joy Coaching® is easy to learn, but in giving a session, you need to rely on your own intuition and muscle testing to determine what the client may need. That’s the difficult part – you must be in tune with the client.
Carol: Are sessions long?
Dorothy: The Joy Coaching® sessions are usually about 60 to 90 minutes long.
Carol: Can sessions be done remotely?
Dorothy: Yes, the Joy Coaching® and The Emotion Code sessions can be done remotely. I have even done Foot Zone therapy remotely as well.
Carol: Why does the world need Joy Coaching® now?
Dorothy: The world needs love and understanding now more than ever. People have been isolated “quarantined” from normal interaction with peers and/or with family members and that is producing perhaps additional stressors and problems. Research has revealed that almost 50% of adults are experiencing depression from the recent events.
“Nearly half of Americans report the coronavirus crisis is harming their mental health, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll. A federal emergency hotline for people in emotional distress registered a more than 1,000 percent increase in April compared with the same time last year. Last month, roughly 20,000 people texted that hotline, run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.”

I recently went over to a friend’s house, her son (a father to 7 young children) made a comment that really concerned me. “I don’t even know why I am on the planet anymore. How can I support my family with no job! It’s to the point that I don’t really care anymore of what happens.”
Joy Coaching® can help in many ways. Here are just a few ways how a Relaxation Session can help: (Karyn Lynn Grant, LMT of Joy Coaching® America)

Carol: What are some of common misconceptions about releasing, relaxing and rejuvenating?
Dorothy: Some of us have spent years collecting and stashing negative or hurtful emotions, so it may take so time for them to be fully released. This process has been compared to peeling an onion – only to find other emotions need to be released. During a session, the client may experience many emotions and hopefully end with feeling peace and joy. Unlike a massage, the client is fully dressed and face up on the table for the Relaxation Session.
Carol: Any challenges that you have found when a client begins this work?
Dorothy: Usually the client has concerns of what emotions may be discovered. Everything that is shared or discovered is fully confidential and treated with respect. Sometimes, the client does not remember the experience that caused the emotion and that is OK!
Carol: What is the most important point you would like the readers to know about releasing, relaxation, and rejuvenating?
Dorothy: The Relaxation Session is a gentle nurturing session with application of pure essential oils, inspiring music, and nurturing touch. It is never too late to release emotions that are holding you back. Being in a state of “fight or flight” is detrimental to your wellbeing. I am here to help you discover and release them so you can have a life of joy and fulfillment.
