Reconnecting to yourself, building healthier relationships… all that good stuff.

Sandika Joy Coaching

Do you want to move forward?

Just by being here, you’ve already taken a step toward change.

I’m Sandika. Coach, trauma informed practitioner, and fellow human.

Together, we explore the experiences and emotional wounds that may be keeping you stuck so you can build healthier relationships and create a more fulfilling life.

Reconnect to yourself.

Life can leave us carrying patterns that quietly shape the way we relate to ourselves, relationships, work, love, trust, and the world around us.

Trauma. Heartbreak. Anxiety. Grief. Shame. Self abandonment. Relationship wounds. Relationship anxiety. ROCD. Burnout. Fear.

Sometimes we know exactly where those patterns began.

Other times, we simply know something feels stuck.

My work is about helping you gently explore and heal the experiences, emotional wounds, and protective patterns that may be keeping you disconnected from yourself and the life you want to create.

Together, we’ll work toward healthier relationships, deeper self trust, emotional healing, and a more aligned and fulfilling life.

How we work together.

My approach blends trauma informed coaching, nervous system healing, emotional healing, relationship work, parts work, and practical action.

Rather than endlessly analyzing problems, we work to gently uncover and heal the wounds, fears, and protective responses that may be keeping you stuck while helping the body shift out of fight, flight, freeze, and into greater safety and calm.

Depending on your needs, our work may include:

• trauma processing, emotional release, and Gentle Trauma Release (GTR)

• nervous system regulation

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed parts work and inner child healing

• relationship and attachment work

• self worth and inner critic work

• values and identity exploration

• practical coaching and accountability

• healing self abandonment patterns

• relationship discernment and communication

This work is collaborative, experiential, and deeply personalized.

There is no rigid formula.

Together, we create a process that supports healing, reconnection, and lasting change in your life.

I heard through the grapevine…

What my clients are saying…

  • I am so grateful to Sandika for working with me through the trauma release method. I truly felt this was a safe space to share my trauma and work through managing the emotional triggers. I know I got some great tools through the sessions and have seen my anxiety decreasing and am sleeping much better. Thank you Sandika for your gentle nature and encouragement through the process.

    ― Michelle S.

  • Sandika is a jem. Helped me walk through one of the darkest hours of my life. She truly cares about her clients well being. Very easy to open up with. Genuine.

    ― Shannon Q.

  • Sandika has been such a safe space for me whilst I’ve navigated the weird and scary world of anxiety and OCD, teaching me tools I can use throughout the rest of my life. Her wisdom and perspective continues to encourage me towards the life I want, and I’m incredibly grateful to her for that!

    ― Penny J.

  • I have been working with Sandika for about one month now and she is breath taking. I haven’t felt so comfortable opening up to how I really feel with anyone, but with her calm and reassuring nature makes me able to do so. The way she explains things and teaches me how to look at things/life/problems a different way just helps. I am so blessed to have come across her and am excited to continue my work with her.

    ― Ashley M.

  • I met Sandika in Mexico, where she introduced me to her awesome and skillful ways of helping the world become a better place—one person at a time. I immediately felt Sandika's power—the power of love—which she seems to transmit through her passionate work and transform people's lives. Thank you, Sandika, for the light and the joy you bring to the world. Keep on shining and helping those who need it most. May you be abundantly blessed.

  • It has been truly life-changing for me working with Sandika. I'm grateful for the support and guidance she provided. I went from being overwhelmed by life and my relationship. It’s been an amazing experience.

    — Gavin S.

  • I came to Sandika and I am so glad I got connected with her! I initially came to her following a breakup but was able to dive deep about issues I had with self image and with family to feel more healed. She has a very compassionate direct approach and found her tools a great compliment to traditional therapy methods. Thank you Sandika for your work and I look forward to continue implementing what I learned with her!

    — Pallavi O.

  • I have had sessions with Sandika for a year and a half, and her methods (including trauma release, IFS, and empowerment coaching) have made a huge difference in my general feelings of wellbeing on a daily basis. Through her compassionate approach, Sandika has helped me to reframe limiting beliefs, make important links between past hurts and current symptoms, and let go of some of my more painful memories. I feel lighter and more able to take on the world from a place of empowerment thanks to our work together.

    — Iris G.

  • When I started seeing Sandika almost 6 months ago, I was struggling so much with anxiety and ROCD. The techniques she has taught me and practices we have implemented together have helped me so much! I used to overthink everything about my relationship, now, I'm engaged and so excited for our future together!!

    — Olivia M.

  • Sandika has supported me to reframe interpersonal and personal challenges as beautiful opportunities for growth. Her warmth, gentleness and compassion created a safe space for me to work through early beginnings and memories and I amazingly started to struggle less and less in my day to day. When triggered, I now have a suite of tools I can now use anytime as a means for development rather than detriment. I am eternally grateful for her kindness and time, our sessions have been life changing! Sandika just gets it! I have felt so safe opening upto her during our sessions. She has provided me with an abundance of tools to navigate my childhood trauma and ROCD. Thank you Sandika!

    — Misty T.

  • It is difficult to sum up how much Sandika has impacted my life, over the last year and a half. When I first met Sandika, I instantly felt connected and heard. I do not think I would be at this point in my healing journey if it wasn't for her tools, guidance, and unwavering support. If you are debating whether to move forward as her client, the answer is you should. She opens up a new world of the unknown, that you probably didn't even know existed!

    — Alicia B.

  • Sandika helped me transition to a new chapter with a unique approach that I couldn’t find in traditional therapy. I am grateful for her gentle but straightforward guidance. With compassion, wisdom, and humor, she helped me “unblock” myself and reconnect to my inner strength. Thank you Sandika! ❤️

    — Jiana K.

  • Sandika is the best! With our work together, I was really able to channel my woman energy and make it through a really challenging life transition. So happy to feel better and stronger now - especially when I didn't know when I would feel good again. Thanks Sandika!

    — Grace K.

  • Sandika is one the greatest healers and coaches I have ever worked with. Her energy and insight were invaluable to me during my healing journey. I will forever be grateful for finding her! She is an incredible coach.

    — Michelle C.

  • I really enjoyed working with Sandika! She's very approachable and kind. I loved the practices she gave me to work on outside of our sessions (I still utilize them from time to time). I was looking for someone to guide me through IFS work and Sandika did that wonderfully.

    — Azul C.

Healing takes time.

The experiences we go through can leave lasting emotional patterns that shape our relationships, self worth, nervous system, confidence, and sense of self.

Healing is not always easy.

But little by little, things can begin to shift.

Together, we work toward emotional healing, healthier relationships, deeper self trust, and a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

And you don’t have to do it all alone.
