Joy Notes

After working in the healthcare industry for more than 30 years, Nio unexpectedly stepped into the role of patient in 2021. She was at the salon getting her hair done when she started experiencing excruciating abdominal pain. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with an abdominal obstruction and sepsis. Despite multiple near-death experiences during surgery and treatment, Nio survived and made a full recovery. Now, on the other side of the healing process, and equipped with a new perspective on vulnerability, resilience, and the value of community, Nio is determined to empower and inspire others to live with meaning. Nio is a certified energy leadership practitioner who uses her coaching education, executive healthcare background, and life experience to help individuals and teams connect with their authentic selves, set and achieve goals, and cultivate a culture of community.
