PHILOSOPHIES

Identifying the need behind the behaviour, setting and implementing healthy boundaries between you and your child is vital in the development of self-regulation and emotional intelligence. Learn how to foster self awareness and empathy through daily practice of mindful and conscious parenting. 

Purpose begins in your child's life in the infancy stage as they observe and navigate the world around them. Raising a whole brain child  relies on opportunity, experience and practice.

Learn how to create a engaging environment and routine with your child  that supports and encourages their internal need for purpose and independence through practical life skills an dynamic play. 

We are given only one mind and one body in this life and it is our responsibility to care for them. Learn how to nurture your child's connection between mind and body and give them the opportunity to discover their best self through experiences which build on their established feelings of self-worth, imagination, exploration, humility and persistence.

ABOUT LAURIE JOY

About

Hi, I’m Laurie Joy, a Counsellor, Behaviour Consultant, and Emotional Regulation Coach based in Vancouver, BC.

 

I’ve spent over 20 years working with children, youth, and families across the globe. My work is grounded in emotional intelligence, brain-based behavioural support, and the belief that kids don’t need to be fixed,  they need to be understood, supported, and guided by emotionally sturdy adults.

 

My education is in Early Childhood Development and Professional Counselling. I have worked in both Montessori and traditional preschool settings, supported youth in group homes, and trained as an IMTI Autism-informed Play Therapy practitioner. I’ve coached families in-person and virtually, and created Joy in the Home in 2014 as a way to help families rewrite old parenting patterns and raise kids who are emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and resilient.

 

Alongside my direct work with families, I’ve also shared my approach through TEDx, international conferences, and parent and educator workshops, offering tools that are evidence-based, accessible, and grounded in real-life challenges.

 

I was that emotionally intense kid, deeply expressive, often misunderstood. That experience shaped me. And while I didn’t expect the amount of unlearning I’d have to do as an adult, around control, emotional suppression, and the “I’m the adult, you’re the child” mindset, doing that work changed everything. I now help others do the same.

 

I believe in meeting kids where they’re at — but not staying there. Resilience is built by moving through discomfort, not avoiding it. With the steady presence of a calm, attuned adult, even the most challenging moments can become growth opportunities. My role is to help you show up for those moments, not perfectly, but intentionally.

 

Whether I’m working one-on-one with a child, supporting a parent, or coaching both, I bring a balance of warmth, honesty, structure, and humour. If you're ready to make a change in your parenting or support your child in building emotional skills, I’m here for it.

 

And if you’re looking for support for your child? Even better. That’s where I do my best work.

 

Warmly, 
Laurie Joy

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

"Joy in the Home did wonders for our family! Laurie came into our home and spent a few short hours guiding and coaching us on how to best handle certain situations with our daughters aged 4 and 2. One of the specific strategies she suggested was the "calming cushion" each time one of our daughters was having a meltdown. My husband and I implemented that strategy instantly and I was shocked by how quickly the girls caught on!...Laurie has a true passion for helping families, her knowledge and intuition are second to know and children absolutely love her! I would highly recommend 'Joy In The Home' to any families seeking guidance with what to do with their spirited little ones."
