Welcome to Joy Somatics

Are you overwhelmed by symptoms of chronic stress and past trauma while navigating the hormonal changes of menopause?

Despite hormone therapies or years of talk therapy, do you experience any of these symptoms?

Struggle with anxiety, tightness in chest, difficulty breathing, or panic?

Disconnected or strained relationships at home, socially or at work?

Feeling shame from procrastination, avoidance, or constant numbing?

Feel scattered, ungrounded and tense in your body?

Feel hopelessly stuck in repetitive activation-overwhelm-collapse cycles?

Feel exhausted and discouraged from chasing symptoms?

Have difficulty being present, poor memory, poor focus?

Experiencing chronic pain, digestive and sleep issues?

Headed for another burnout?

If so, let's discuss your symptoms and how somatics and breathing behaviour retraining can create more grounded ease in your life.

Leading with the breath and body can open the door to more resilience and capacity.

MY APPROACH

While I use foundational somatic, body and breath-based methods with all my clients, I approach every journey a little differently depending on goals and needs.

Where does your healing journey begin?

My name is Joy Onyschak

I am a Somatic Practitioner & Certified Breathing Behaviour Analyst.

 

With over 15 years experience, I support women, mothers, and professionals who are overwhelmed by nervous system dysregulation learn to self-regulate, befriend their bodies, and become present for their lives.

 

Using a trauma-informed approach, I integrate:

 

  • Somatic, body-based tools grounded in neuroscience

  • Nervous system education

  • Biometric breathing assessment and retraining

As one of the few practitioners in Canada certified in capnography-based breathing assessment and retraining, I can help you learn how to self-regulate for long-term change.

Make nervous system wellness part of your menopause care.
