Meet Joy Gabriel
Hi, I’m Joy Gabriel, and I’m thrilled you’re here, ready to explore what Sedona Goddess Retreats is all about. I’ve created these offerings as an opportunity for women to step into their feminine power and reconnect with the deep wisdom that resides within. At Sedona Goddess Retreats, we believe that restoring an intimate connection with your feminine essence is an essential part of the journey to healing and empowerment. We also honor the importance of reclaiming the sovereign embodiment of both the divine masculine and sacred feminine essence, creating a harmonious balance within that allows for deep transformation and authentic self-expression.
As the Creative Director, I’ve spent over 20 years as a Transformational Coach, Practitioner and Facilitator, guiding women just like you. My own healing journey began in my early 20s, when I embarked on a deep exploration of the mind/body/spirit connection to transform layers of unworthiness and shame. Through profound growth, I gradually healed from childhood trauma and broke free from limiting beliefs.
Along the way, I came to understand how our unhealed shadows can keep us playing small, undermining our well-being and fulfillment. A realization I encountered firsthand through struggles with compulsive eating, isolation, lack of self-confidence, and poor choices in relationships. I had to overcome the challenges of shame, betrayal, and overwhelm as a single mom. Yet it was ultimately the pain of being disconnected from my power that pushed me to find a new way forward—a way to love myself fully, express my gifts, and live authentically.
My journey eventually led me to Sedona, a place with an energy uniquely suited for transformation. Here, I've been blessed to work alongside incredible clients, practitioners, and healers from diverse paths. I want women like you to have the same opportunity—to feel deeply supported, rising stronger and more vibrant than ever.
I believe every woman is born whole and worthy, connected to an unshakeable power and wisdom within. Sedona Goddess Retreats was conceived from this deep commitment to our collective healing and empowerment.

Our story: A Journey of Sisterhood and Transformation
The Birth of Sedona Goddess Retreats
There was a pivotal moment in my life when something profound awakened within me—a recognition that the divine feminine flows through me and all women. We are born whole and worthy - our bodies serving as sacred temples for our love and deepest knowing. I came to understand that many women might never have the chance to awaken this inner power, not because they are less deserving, but because our traditions and society seldom speak of it. This realization led me to seek out teachers and wise women who helped me restore my connection to feminine power and embody this wisdom, even within a patriarchal world.
It became clear that I wanted to share this gift with others—to help women embody their divine essence and shine their light in the world. Thus, Sedona Goddess Retreats was born—a transformational journey where women can reconnect with their inner goddess, heal past wounds, and step into their true magnificence. My deepest intention is to provide the tools and support for women to thrive and radiate their brilliance wherever they go. ~Joy Gabriel
