Meet Joy Macko

Founder of Healing Tribe | Remote Mindfulness Facilitator | Best-Selling Author

Joy Macko is the founder of Healing Tribe, where she offers remote mindfulness sessions designed to support emotional well-being, stress management, self-discovery, and personal growth.

A trauma survivor herself, Joy discovered mindfulness as part of her own wellness journey, exploring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Through her personal experience, she witnessed the positive impact that mindfulness and guided inner exploration could have on everyday life. Inspired by that experience, she wanted to share these practices with others, creating a space where people could slow down, reconnect with themselves, explore their inner world, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and self-awareness.

Beyond her mindfulness work, Joy is a best-selling author and an advocate working alongside federal, state, and community organizations in efforts to combat human trafficking. Her advocacy and community work reflect a longstanding commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and empowering individuals and communities.

Having lived internationally and experienced a range of cultures, Joy brings a broad cultural perspective to her work. She believes that everyone's journey is different and approaches mindfulness with curiosity, compassion, and an appreciation for the individual experience.

When she's not working, Joy enjoys traveling, writing, discovering new food cultures, and baking.

Her philosophy: Sometimes, the most meaningful journey we can take is the one that brings us back to ourselves.
