rowing up in New York, Joyce Rockwood always wanted to help when she saw people struggling with lethargy and unhappiness. During her 10-year career in advertising, Rockwood dove deeper into her own health and connected the dots between her eating habits and her emotional state. “I started to change my eating habits because I noticed when I ate certain ways, I felt much more enthusiastic about life and much more emotionally elevated,” Rockwood said. Practicing out of the North Valley, Rockwood is now a gut health expert, a gravi-
ty-based certified colon hydrotherapist, doTERRA essential oils educator/distributor and an enthusiastic proponent of well-being. Her practice is a long time coming.

For nourishment, Rockwood tells clients it’s not what they eat but the combination of it that yields the biggest results digestive, sleep, skin and immunity changes. “I work with people helping them to re-establish their connection to what proper nourishment truly looks like,” Rockwood said.
