Trip Facilitators
With over 25 years combined experience in leading and guiding shamanic expeditions focused on spiritual transformation, Earth Heart Expeditions facilitators provide a comforting light on your flight into the unknown.
Expanding your consciousness can be a wonderful and challenging road. It helps to have good guides as you travel new paths on your spirit walk. Each of the Earth Heart Expedition facilitators brings their own personal and unique shamanic experiences and spiritual transformation to the journey.
Each facilitator has, like you, been there for the first time stepping into the void. Every time we take a group we deepen those experiences, no two journeys are the same. As we face the participant?s challenges again and again we learn how better to assist the participants through all the various challenges faced on these amazing life-expanding journeys.
Most importantly, the facilitators all continue to do the work because of a deep heart calling to offer the same powerful experiences they have had to others- meet your guides?

Joyce is a Registered Polarity Practitioner, a Practicing Herbalist, and Certified Yoga Instructor. She was inducted as an Andean Yachak Shaman after years of study with Ecuadorian Yachaks. In her private practice, Joyce combines counseling, energy bodywork, herbal remedies, yoga and shamanic techniques to create a safe and supportive space for natural healing to take place.
During her studies, Joyce has formed a deep bond with the indigenous people of Ecuador learning their many traditions and has observed how visiting with and learning directly from indigenous cultures has changed many peoples? abilities to see themselves as part of a new vision. To this end she formed Earth Heart Expeditions offering shamanic journeys to visit with the elders in South America. These trips are designed to encourage personal transformation and an awakening of spirit consciousness.
Joyce offers workshops and community gatherings in all areas of learning how to walk more gently on our mother earth, Pachamama, and has been teaching workshops in various fields for alternative healing schools since 1997. Creating custom ceremonies and gatherings for individual groups is one of Joyce's greatest gifts. Joyce was a presenter at the 2003 annual Women?s Herbal Conference in Peterborough NH.
Joyce sees clients in Belmont and Concord NH; available for consultations and healings in Polarity, Herbal & Yoga Therapy, Shamanic Journeying, Soul Retrieval and Traditional Andean Shamanic Healings.
