I'm a movement instructor and recovery practitioner in Salt Lake City — and a neurodivergent one, which shapes everything about how I teach and work.
For years I moved through spaces that asked my body to perform a certain way, look a certain way, push through what didn't feel right. Freeljoy is what I built instead: a practice where your nervous system is the priority, where slow is sacred, and where nothing is ever forced. The name is my own — a word I made from freedom, feel, and joy — because that's the order it has to happen in.
Hello
I'm Joy
What neurodivergent bodies need turns out to be what every body deserves: clear breakdowns without jargon, room to sit when you need to, cueing that respects hypermobile joints, and a trauma informed teacher who listens to your no as carefully as your yes.
Whether you're on the pole or on the table, you're a participant — not a performer, not a patient.

& credentials
My background spans degrees, certifications, CEUs, professional and private training in behavioral science, pole instruction, flexibility, assisted-stretch, Myofascial Release, structural integration, NLP, FMS, Reiki, SSE and The Wheel of Consent — woven together with a trauma informed somatic emotional-release approach I've developed through years of research and implementation. As an avid learner of the human body, I will never stop trying to understand it better.
