Stay Rooted!

Joy Evans, MSW (she/her) combines trauma-healing with sound and forest therapy to lead people out of the perpetual stress response, to reconnect with the details of the senses and return to clarity, centered self, and vibrancy. You, my friend, are worthy of rest, and I hope my videos bring you deep peace! All of my videos are invitations to slow down, connect with your heart, reset your nervous sy

stem, and notice the healing presence of nature. I post new videos regularly that inspire awe or joy and often mix nature’s rhythms with the calming sounds of my alchemy crystal singing bowls. Check out my Patreon community, Sound Healing Rooted in Nature, for access to short & longer videos + livestreams.

As the last of our Cherry blossoms were blown away this morning I began to cry.

It’s been 3 months without this sweet little smile, and it’s the first spring without family Sakura photos since we moved to the PNW.

SweetPea hated photos, but I got motivated to document her 19th year of paws 🐾 on earth.

We miss your Sakura smile, SweetPea!
🌸🫶🏼💕

✨Every one-on-one sound healing session with Joy is a unique soundscape guided by your intentions and supported by the gentle energy of beautiful crystal singing bowls.

✨These energy healings session create a practice for you to connect with your body, your emotions, and your heart. It’s a practice of self-compassion and pathway to emotional healing.

This past month, during sessions with folks from communities of recent immigrants and/or connected to Minneapolis, there has been a repeating intention in every session... folks want to feel calm.

These are folks working toward community change — we weren’t focused on about being calm so that injustice could be ignored. It’s about developing skills of presence, self-compassion, and resilience that allow you to keep engaging. With all that is happening in our communities, it’s not surprising that the nervous system gets activated. We need ways to tend to pre-existing hypervigilance in the body. Sound healing can be a powerful modality for practicing what calm can feel like.

For February, I’m honored to hold private Sound Healing sessions for you and up to two more people at the same rate as an hour one-on-one session.

🌈 I want you to be able to give the gift of practicing co-regulation with those around you who might never try sound healing on their own.

Joy combines trauma healing practices with sound healing to lead people out of the perpetual stress response to reconnect with the details of the senses and return to clarity, centered self, and vibrancy.

The UC Berkeley PATH to Care Center offers Sound Healing with Joy as a remote service. Spring Semester sessions are open to UC Berkeley students, staff, faculty, affiliates, and community members of all genders directly or indirectly impacted by sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence (dating and domestic), stalking, or sexual exploitation.

✨ Registration at: bit.ly/SoundHealing25

These 1:1 sessions offer a way to engage in direct energy work to release trauma from the body. The sounds from the alchemy quartz crystal singing bowls can be impactful physically on the mind/body and allow the brain to enter a peaceful theta (or pre-sleep) state, helping the mind to settle, the parasympathetic nervous system to engage, and the body to access the benefits of deep rest. Using guided breath work and nature imagery along with the sounds of the singing bowls, sound healing offers a practice of deep relaxation.

What do singing bowls sound like?
You can listen to Joy playing her quartz crystal singing bowls on YouTube: youtube.com/
