Joslyn is of mixed heritage, with Afro-Indigenous and Irish roots. She comes from the Umoⁿhoⁿ (Omaha) people, whose deep connection to the Missouri River continues to shape her understanding of relationships and belonging. This connection to land and lineage infuses her work as a somatic therapist with reverence for the stories held in bodies, families, and communities.

She sees everything as a relationship—we are always in relationship to or in relationship with. In her practice, Joslyn seeks to listen to the body’s messages—sensations, emotions, thoughts, and symptoms—as invitations for deeper understanding. She views these messages as bridges guiding individuals toward greater connection with themselves and the world around them. Through movement, stillness, storytelling, and presence, she creates a space to honor the unique wisdom of each body while exploring relationships between the personal, systemic/institutional, and communal.

Joslyn has worked with at-risk teens and young adults, the BIPOC community, and people in recovery. She is excited to continue serving these populations while expanding her work to include couples, individuals exploring self-discovery and identity development, women navigating the female experience, and those seeking to explore their relationships to sexuality and intimacy.

Joslyn is a current graduate student in the Somatic Counseling program at Naropa University studying Body Psychotherapy and pursuing a certification in Dance/Movement Therapy. She also holds a 1000-hour certification in yoga and meditation. She finds joy in working with others to rediscover vitality and reclaim themselves through their bodies. She is drawn to the power of movement—whether small or large in expression. She also sees storytelling as movement: an embodied communication that allows us to stay present with what arises in the body as we speak. Through these lenses, pathways for transformation and intimacy emerge.

Joslyn is deeply drawn to family systems work, parts work, and the exploration of ancestry and genealogy through a culturally competent lens. She understands the body as a vessel for personal experience, ancestral memory, and spiritual connection. Grounded in a transpersonal perspective, she views somatic work as a spiritual practice—a pathway to the spirit through the body.

Outside of work, Joslyn thrives in motion. She finds renewal through training in dance and strengthening her body in various rigorous forms of movement, both in the gym and outdoors. Fashion and music inspire her, while tending to relationships, health, and healing grounds her. She is always questioning the edge of what she knows, finding growth in curiosity and reflection.
