Serving those who need help the most is hard, to say the least. At Joy Channel, we like to provide care for the caregivers. We know what everyone needs is different.

Soul Sessions with Eric
As a certified life coach and sommelier, I have spent years developing a deep understanding of human interaction and what fosters connection.
I approach each project with curiosity - exploring what allows us to relate and what keeps us apart. I'm fascinated by what motivates and stops us in our tracks and how emotions fuel us. This curiosity is the bedrock of my coaching practice - a diverse practice involving various modalities to meet your needs.
I like to think about coaching as guidance, clarity, and creative problem-solving. It's an exploration of possibility. Coaching creates space to examine an issue and understand how it may affect us (physical stress, emotional stress, harmful thoughts and habits, etc.) It allows us to uncover how we want to show up for ourselves. Coaching is empowerment.
Things That We Can Specifically Partner On
creative joy investigation
discovering your empowered self
expanding the vision of your organization
emotional road mapping (identifying and processing challenging emotions)
uncovering/unearthing trapped emotion
processing stress due to isms (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.)
navigating potentially difficult conversations
boundary setting
reprogramming habits and limiting beliefs
guided journaling sessions (ideal for groups)
sacred text reading groups (what do you turn to for healing? This is like a show and tell for texts, song lyrics, poems, etc, that you turn to for healing, solace, and wisdom.)

Energy ReBoot with Alice
Energy Reboot Sessions
As we say at Joy Channel: “Being human is hard. Give yourself grace.”
In a world where harmful realities may be threatening those we love and are threatening our fellow human beings, we may feel defeated, overwhelmed, scared or depressed. How do we stay sane and be of service? How do we keep our moods and life in balance to stay hopeful? We believe we need each other to do so and we don't have to do this alone.
An Energy Reboot session is a phone or online meeting where you will be listened to and receive loving guidance with practical actions to take to get through the day and prioritize your sanity and health.
Energy Reboot sessions are not therapy. They are communal human-to-human connecting times to be seen and heard and get practical suggestions on what to do next in these increasingly volatile times.
Each session will provide practical actions to do to protect your energy and let go of toxic energy from the day and other people.
What to Expect:
Practical Self-Care: Learn simple yet effective techniques to protect your energy and reduce stress. This can include suggestions about food and body movement.
Mindful Practices: Explore mindfulness and visualization techniques to calm your mind and boost your mood.
Emotional Support: Share your experiences and receive compassionate listening and guidance.
Personalized Strategies: Develop tailored self-care plans to fit your unique needs.
We look forward to supporting you.
