Meet Joyce

Joyce Nash-Ewen
Master Hypnotherapist & Reiki Level II Practitioner
Greetings, and welcome to A Spirit Freed!
I’m Joyce, a Master Hypnotherapist certified by the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists and Level II Reiki Practitioner. My only goal is to assist my clients in healing and freeing themselves from whatever is holding them back from becoming their most authentic and powerful selves.
I spent most of my career life–30 plus years–as a bookkeeper. So, you might well ask, “why start a new career as a hypnotherapist so late in life?” Good question–I’m glad you asked! Being a bookkeeper provided me and my family with a consistent, fruitful income for all of those years, but did not give me the opportunity to give something back to my fellow human travelers. It never gave me the meaning in life I have always craved. It was also rather boring.
As a life-long seeker of all things spiritual, I discovered a long time ago that we humans are indeed spiritual beings having a human experience. But it wasn’t until I discovered hypnotherapy, specifically transpersonal or spiritual hypnotherapy, that I came to more fully understand the breadth and depth of what that statement actually entails. I also found in hypnotherapy the perfect tool for helping others to heal themselves and with that, my true calling.
As you well know, dear reader, life on the physical plane can be hard–brutally and tragically hard. However, it can also be full of joy, peace, meaning, and love. What determines the difference? Is it solely up to the fates? I don’t think so! In the course of my life, I have faced two major depressions, a divorce, a child with severe social anxiety and eating disorders, loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, as well as several health problems including heart rhythm issues and obesity. Is my life now perfect? Heck no! Whose life is? Am I now able to weather these emotional storms and come out the other side with my sanity and my love for life still in tact? Am I able to continue to grow and evolve into my best self? Absolutely!
This is where spiritual hypnotherapy shines as a modality for true healing and ultimately fulfilling our highest potential. It allows us to quiet our racing thoughts, heal the past wounds of our hearts, and access the wisdom of our own Spirit Selves. I then decided to also become a reiki practitioner to assist my clients with healing any energies that were holding them back and grounding all of this glorious healing into their energy bodies.
I bring to my spiritual practice my intelligence, intuition, and wit, a compassionate heart, and a lifetime of experience overcoming my own adversities (as well as helping others do the same). Most importantly, I am able to hold for my clients a space of genuine love and complete non-judgment that allows them the security and freedom to be fully and honestly their true selves. It would be an honor to hold this space for you and to assist you in healing and evolving to your BEST self!
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
– C. G. Jung


About the A Spirit Freed Logo
Nash = Nigh the Ash
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol of the connection between the physical and spiritual realms. The perfect symbol for hypnotherapy which allows us in our physical bodies and minds to access the love, healing, and wisdom of the spiritual realms. And, with the maiden name of Nash, trees have always held a special meaning for me. The Infinity Symbol wrapping the tree trunk is a reminder of both our eternal spiritual nature and the eternal love of the Divine.

Testimonial
“I had a hypnotherapy session with Joyce in October, 2022 as a part of her training. I was nervous at first because I had some skepticism going in concerning protection and feeling safe. Joyce made it a point to make me feel protected as such. I very much appreciated this.
I also appreciated her compassion and nonjudgmental listening. It proved to be very beneficial for me during the session. She was extremely patient and supportive which were welcome qualities, especially during such a vulnerable activity.
Because of her excellent display of compassion and patience, I’m hoping I can have another session with her before she starts charging her deserved fee. When she does, I would be happy to have a paid session with her as well.
As with all things, practice and experience only make one better at their craft — a craft Joyce is already proving to be strong at. So I anticipate she will get better and better as time goes on, even though she is already a great hypnotherapist.
I highly recommend working with Joyce to work through traumas that may be blocking you in achieving future goals and tasks.”
