About Joyce
I moved from Hong Kong to France completely burnt out from corporate life - and because home had started to feel superficial in ways I couldn't keep ignoring. Sometimes you have to leave a place to see it clearly.
I'd worked in executive search in Hong Kong's financial industry: high-functioning, anxiety-driven, a perfectionist, a people-pleaser; the kind of exhausted that doesn't announce itself until your body forces the issue.
Hypnotherapy changed things. Not by replacing what I'd tried, but by reaching what talk alone hadn't: the childhood experiences that had quietly written my rules - what I believed about myself, and the patterns those beliefs kept feeding. Speaking to the parts of me still holding those old feelings, the inner child, is what let me change, not just understand why I wasn't.
Since then, I see my past differently. I'm more patient, with myself and others. I understand unconditional love, not just as an idea.
Since leaving Hong Kong, I've rebuilt life as an expat three times over - France, Mauritius, Spain. Each move meant leaving a community behind and starting again. That's part of why this work matters to me: I'm not describing the expat experience from the outside.
I trained at École Centrale d'Hypnose in Paris, and have since trained further in:

Who I work with: people who need inner healing with someone who speaks their language. People who understand the pattern intellectually but keep landing back in it, and are ready to be helped, not just to keep managing alone.
