Our Origin Story
How “Joyful Living” Came to Be
After processing profound grief and debilitating sadness in our respective journeys, we found healing through energy work, life coaching, and more. Between us, we have 30+ years of combined experience in the wellness space. We knew we needed to integrate our personal and professional wisdom to support others who are carrying the unimaginable.
And so, “Joyful Living” was born.
The Founders
Meet Alyson
Alyson Vehrs has been a trained life coach for 17 years and an energy healer for 10. Her highly developed sense of intuition is led by listening to what you’re going through and then asking the tough questions that get to the heart of the matter. This allows you to see the next steps for your healing on your own rather than being told what to do.
Alyson knows what it’s like to live in darkness and hopelessness. There was a time when she held in her emotions for so long that they eventually manifested in physical symptoms - specifically bipolar. The sensory input was so intense that her only solace was lying in a dark, quiet place.
Like many women, she has also experienced the upheaval of divorce and the darkness of depression. Her healing allowed her to recognize unhealthy patterns in her previous marriage AND the safe, stable connection when she met her current husband.
She finds deep fulfillment in helping other women experience the power of owning their choices, understanding themselves, and learning how to stand in their power with gentleness and connection.
Meet Katie
Katie Williams is a Joyful Living, Transformational Energy Coach. She has been trained in several healing modalities including The Body Code, The Transformation Code, and Grief Coaching. She has been doing energy work since 2014 and grief coaching since 2020.
Most importantly, however, her life experiences have made this work deeply personal. She not only understands it academically but also experientially.
She has lived through the unimaginable grief of losing a child. She’s been at the lowest of lows, but she’s been able to build back stronger each time.
Katie has used the tools and principles taught in the Joyful Living Connection Membership and witnessed a profound impact on her well-being and ability to thrive beyond grief.
She now lives in Idaho with her husband and best friend. They have 6 children together (one angel child). As she has prioritized her wellness, her children are thriving too. She is finally the mom she has always wanted to be. She is no longer yelling, overwhelmed, or consumed by her self-judgment and limiting beliefs.
She is deeply motivated by helping other women experience this same freedom and joy. She wants to help women who are in the middle of extreme grief to remember that hope and happiness are possible!
