About Me - Katrina Joy

BArts, GradDip, MEd (res)

Hi I’m Katrina,

Joy Lab was born out of both my lived experience and my professional journey. With Joy as my middle name, I’ve learned—often through challenge—that joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling, but a practice, a courage, and a way of connecting deeply with life.

Through Joy Lab, I share what I’ve discovered: that creativity, mindfulness, and authentic expression have the power to transform us. My values are rooted in compassion, curiosity, and community. I believe learning should be engaging, inclusive, and life-giving—not something that boxes us in, but something that frees us.

In our workshops, you’ll find space to build confidence, spark imagination, and create meaningful connections. Whether through storytelling, poetry, or meditation, I guide others to rediscover their own voice and strength, drawing on both my background as an educator and my personal journey of resilience.

Joy Lab is more than a workshop—it’s a community of people who choose to live, learn, and create with openness, courage, and joy.
