"I must say Joy, and I really want you to know this: I LEARN from you. You're a great teacher, and while I discover things from my own process- especially how to apply it outside of myself, I learn from the things you tell me by way of explanation. I'm fascinated by your input as well as learn from it, and I'm just grateful to have this opportunity which I'm realizing more and more is unique and specific."

- Laura-Michelle Iacovone,
Dean of Students, Center for Natural Wellness


In addition to working one on one with clients, Joy continues to teach in several capacities. As the Wellness and Emotional Growth Instructor at the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany, NY, she trains massage therapy students in learning more about themselves based on the credo that, "You can only take a client to the places that you yourself have traveled." Joy has created a curriculum for professional therapists that includes:
  1. Conscious Communication for self, and working with clients. This provides deep communion, so clients can genuinely feel a therapists care, listening and "attending" skills, and warm presence. This results in them feeling heard, so they can relax and receive. Thus creating a new found ambiance of trust and openness for their healing process. This also assists a therapist in having good conflict/resolution skills for life!
  2. Ethics/ Boundaries for the Therapeutic Professional
  3. Intention
  4. How to successfully navigate a client through an Emotional Release: Which is the greatest relief of chronic pain and negative patterns of behavior
  5. Client's Defenses based on study of Characterizing (The 5 Childhood Wounds)
  6. Life Balance for the Therapeutic Professional
  7. Support Systems: Who holds those that hold so many others? What will a professional therapist need for their own support?

"Hello Joy, This was the most amazing workshop I have ever attended. The knowledge and level of caring was amazing. You are a wonderful model for us all.

I was awake most of the night looking back on my life with much greater understanding, it was fascinating to now have a new context and lens to view my experiences. Thank you.

You blessed us in so many ways this weekend. I was honored and inspired by your love and dedication for this group. You were always positive and supportive in helping us risk, stretch and grow. You never had a single criticism, it was always focused on what we were doing well and that was critical to creating safety for us. I suspect that it can be very vulnerable to be in the presence of someone who can read energy and know the truth of our feelings. I never felt vulnerable, always supported and loved. You are amazing and beautiful. Each time I was reminded of your gifts and your love for us, I would consciously send you love and gratitude. I wanted to support what you were doing for us all."

-Marijo Puleo

"I have been still integrating this most amazing weekend ever! Joy.. Angel.. you are and were such a gift! You held, and I still feel, are holding this beautiful matrix of woven cords of light around our beautiful group of soul family that came together for a weekend that I feel changed me forever. I feel a portal opening and I still feel tethered and connected to source the way I did that weekend.

I have been listening to your CD (meditation). I feel the Angels and guides envelope me as I am listening. So much more has happened for me. God love you, Love and light to all of you , my special soul family!"

-Sheryl Infantino

"This morning when I walked out before sunrise, I felt open-hearted to be in the world. I haven't felt that in a long time. I enjoyed your presentation and your presence. Your enthusiasm and depth, (heighth?) of knowledge are inspiring. "

Thank you so much.

HANDS OF HEALING :

An Article by recent Brennan Workshop Participant, Gulbin Kinacigil

“There is no doubt that Dr. Barbara Ann Brennan is one of the pioneers of Spiritual Healing. Barbara Brennan, who is accepted as one of the world’s most talented healers and teachers created a revolution in human energy field and spiritual healing with her first two books, ‘Hands of Light ‘ and ‘Light Emerging ‘ have been always guiding books for he people dealing with healing in Turkey as well as throughout the world.

I have always been very close to themes of health and illness for more than twenty years as a dentist . And my intuitions and inner voice guided me, in the end, to the point that our main healing power is, within ourselves. The healing education and knowledge I got, and the practical works I did, made me understand and feel that power inside me. The books of Barbara Brennan and the other many precious books on spiritual healing, have been always the books that I have been benefiting from during this process.

So, after being in orrespondencewith the authorities of BBSH, I was guided to participate in their weekend workshop, which was held in NYC, USA, on the 25-26th of October 2008. Our teacher, Joy Adler, is a graduate and former faculty member of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.

Joy is a very cheerful and lively person. Her assistant, Maureen Devine, has a great heart full of love and compassion like Joy herself. Joy and Maureen worked together in a great collaboration and solidarity especially when Joy was channeling for healing in trance. Joy is a person who is reflecting her high healing knowledge and talent in every minute of her life, as if she is living healing in all means of her life. She is very humble at the same time.

Joy was playing music during healing since she was thinking that music effects the human energy field positively. Joy was sometimes singing and dancing for grounding, and opening her chakras before healing. Then she was channeling a high level of energy during meditation. Joy and Maureen were in a wonderful collaboration during these procedures. We observed that a great energy was flowing through Joy’s hands and filling the whole body and energy field during demonstration healings. I felt that Joy, is one of the living representatives of spiritual healing. She showed and made us experience and feel, how a healing is performed. “
