Acupuncturist and Feng Shui Practitioner
Joy Andrews is an acupuncturist, feng shui practitioner, astrologer, business owner, and consultant for entrepreneurs and nonprofits.
Joy’s work is centered around validating people’s experiences of trauma and helping them feel seen, heard, and able to transform their pain into epiphanies. She has applied the wisdom of acupuncture, feng shui and astrology to transform her own painful experiences–growing up during a civil war in Guatemala, experiencing religious trauma, experiencing extreme physical pain–into gems of grace-filled insight and a feeling of inner wellness.
Her career weaves together many walks of life; she was raised in the hospitality industry, went on to study international business, and worked in advertising for multi-million dollar clients. During the economic downturn of 2009, she took a leap after being laid off, followed her intuition, and pivoted her career into the healing arts. She earned a masters degree in acupuncture and became a wellness entrepreneur. She’s written award-winning business plans, ran a successful wellness center, hiring and managing a heart-centered workforce, and consulting for organizations.
She’s passionate about combining her love of healing and spirituality to help people invite their own power and intuition into their day-to-day living to navigate their body, home, and work with more ease.
Her private practice in Silver Spring, Maryland and her website is joy-andrews.com.
