JOY is a life
transformation specialist from New Zealand who teaches by example how to turn
tragedy into triumph, how to deal with fear, grief, stress and pain, and how to
embrace change to create happiness and success regardless of circumstances.

 

The first time she died was at15years
old, after flying off a cliff on a motorbike. She was declared dead on the
operating table and when revived was told she would never walk
again.

 

Within seven
years she had overcome massive odds, including a pain killer addiction, to become a medal-winning
ballroom dancer and a
highly successful business executive.

 

At 24 she was hit by a drunk driver
and brain injured in a car accident. Doctors said she would likely be dead or
vegetative before age 30. Her frontal lobes scanned like those of an autistic
child. For the next 18months she walked with death as a constant companion.

 

By age 30 she had co-created Australia's leading computer support organization.  She
was the first individual ever to be nominated for an IT&T Award for Excellence in Industry Development,
and the first
woman to sit on the board of the Queensland branch of the
Australian Information Industries Association. She became advisor to both State and Federal Government after single-handedly co-opting
the unanimous support of every major computer organization in the country. She
developed and ‘established an end-user support traineeship that introduced
an entirely new, much-needed path within the IT Industry which created
thousands of jobs at the level where they were most needed’ - quote from Connecting Queensland Magazine

 

JOY! started that company with a $30
government cheque that bounced. Her formal education ended with the bike
accident at 15. She has only set foot in a university to lecture, and knows
nothing about computers to this day.

 

At 34, personal tragedy saw her
lose everything for a third time. She went from a leader in Australia's
Computer Support Industry, to a single Mother on welfare in a year. Attempts
were made on her life, making her a victim of the biggest domestic violence
siege ever staged on the Gold Coast of Australia.

 

Five years later she was a Member of
the Australian Association of accredited Alternative &
Natural Therapists - AAANT,
certified in a variety different holistic health modalities. She had again healed herself and now was
teaching others how to do the same. Her passion had become
psychoneuroimmunology: how the way we think affects our physical health and
well being. She began a healing and metaphysical practice.

 

In the new millennium JOY! made a
personal commitment to travel the world, teaching the many things that she had
learned about how to thrive under any circumstances.

 

July 2000 she arrived at LAX with two suitcases, a briefcase and a nine-year-old
daughter. She knew no one on this continent, had no idea of what to
do next, and was not yet aware that everything she had placed in storage had been stolen
and that she was now holding all she owned.

 

In May 2004 she
left her home in Austin Texas to go to Mexico for the day. She expected to
return in time to kiss her now 13-year-old daughter good night. Instead her New
Zealand visitor’s visa was canceled and she found herself locked out of the
United States for a year.

 

She knew no-one in Mexico, did not speak Spanish, and had nothing with her
but the clothes she wore across the border.

 

In 12
months she went from alone and desperate in the terrifying border town of Nuevo
Larado, to renown and prospering in the paradise of Puerto Vallarta. That
story; ‘The Miracle Updates’ is now looking for a publisher.

 

Her latest book 'No Worries,
Mate!' details the 'De-worrying Process' she uses to stay sane in
the midst of the continued grand adventure that is her life.

 

JOY!’s
passion for the last 20 years has been collecting ‘emPOWERment tools’: Skills
and techniques to succeed more quickly, easily and powerfully,
in any area of life. Currently
she is making videos of these tools so that more people can learn how to move as
quickly and easily as possible through whatever stress or challenge presents
itself.  

 

Everything
she teaches is simple enough for a child to do and produces
immediate positive results. Each emPOWERment tool takes
three minutes or less!

 

JOY! can help you discover exactly what you want, and
show you how to get it more easily and quickly, while having much more fun
along the way!  Quote from Heather Ribbs
