Tonya Joyce refused to believe her doctor’s when they said she’d never walk again, she’d never talk without a stutter, never recover from a second horrific car crash.  She didn’t take on that diagnosis, she instead chose to prove them wrong.  She shifted her mindset and looked for others who had done just that, to prove to herself that she could too and to act as her inspiration, on her journey to recovery.  Now she shares her story with the world in order to inspire others, that anything is possible, you can heal your body when you choose that as a possibility and focus on what you CAN do instead of what you CAN’T do. It wasn’t easy, but her desire to walk again was stronger than the pain of those first small steps as she started her healing journey.  Tune in to be inspired and please share this episode with anyone in your life that needs to hear it.

About the Guest:

Tonya Joyce: 

I am a mother of 5 beautiful children and two young granddaughters. They are my world, and I am so grateful to be here with them and for them, as I have experienced not one, but two horrendous car crashes. I went from being my children’s parents to being their patient for most of their childhood. Getting through the pain and hardship these accidents caused myself and my family has taught me how truly powerful the mind is. The journey of recovery has given me extensive knowledge and experience practicing the healing arts benefiting the body and the soul. Today is a gift, and I am here to share my knowledge with others.

Not only did I survive these car accidents, but I also survived childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking as a young adult. These experiences have made me a strong advocate for women survivors in several areas. 

The doctors said I would never walk again, talk again, return to work or university. I have proved them all wrong as I painstakingly went from a wheelchair to walking in heels and even walked on fire! I have returned to university and full-time work with the Province of BC and have started my own company to help others build their toolbox to wellness. Yes, we can define our wellness together on our terms with the right tools.
