My name is Joy Davy, and I am here to help you get to where you want to go.

I have been helping people find their paths since 2000, when I began working with survivors of domestic violence. In my life I have been a college English instructor, a free-lance artist, a bilingual elementary school teacher, and a doula!

I went back to university in my late 40s to earn my masters in counseling, and became a therapist.

At 57, I  self-published a non-fiction book under my own name. It is about pet grief, and can be found on Amazon. The title is Healing Circles.

I wrote and traditionally published my first novel (under a pseudonym) at the age of 60, and then wrote two more.

I began studying my fourth language, German, at the age of 62. At 67, I added Life Coaching to my professional portfolio to work on redesigning life with women like you—and like me—who keep on growing with intention.

I am fluent in Spanish and French and am happy to coach in these languages!

I have a masters degree in English, a masters degree in Counseling, and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. In my work with you, I am a Master Certified Life Coach.

All of this is only to say, I understand that inner prompting to forge a new path, to create a new dimension in life; I’ve done it a few times, and I would love nothing more than to help you to realize your own dreams, whatever they might be.

I see clients virtually and work with people in Skokie, Norridge, Oak Park, Darien, Chicago, Gurnee, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, New York City, Phoenix, Quebec City, Montreal, Mexico and France.
