There is joy on this side of a disability diagnosis.

Let’s find it together.

THE HEART OF JOY/SIDE

At Joy/Side we’re all about the both/and of life with a disability diagnosis.

A disability diagnosis can lead to grief, fear, and loss.

A disability diagnosis can also lead to joy, growth, and community.

**Joy/Side exists to lead you to both.**

Joy and grief. Hope and fear. New vision and mourning lost dreams.

A disability diagnosis might not have been the curveball of life you were expecting. But the world you’re stepping into is as joyful as it is heavy. And one thing’s for certain: You are not alone. We’re here to welcome you with open arms.

Let’s navigate your interrupted expectations to find your joy on this side of a disability diagnosis—together.

Hi, I’m Amber

Disability Coach and Consultant

When my son was 10 months old, he was diagnosed with significant needs, and our world changed forever. Our dreams for the future shifted, everyday tasks became overwhelming—the grief was real. But within the grief and anxiety and unknown, I reclaimed my joy, identity, and community.

Now, I’m helping moms like you experience the real joy that’s found on this side of a diagnosis.

Here at Joy/Side, you’ll find resources, support, coaching, and community to help you live well in the life you’ve been given.

From napping in therapy clinic parking lots, to the IEP guidelines for your state, to conversations with another mom who gets it—Joyside is here to be your friend and guide as you navigate these interrupted expectations and learn to live in the both/and of this disability life.

The overwhelm, the fear, the grief—I get it. I was right there. But there is so much joy on this side of your diagnosis;

I’d love to coach you there.

Are you a mom of a child with disabilities?

Together, we’ll honor the grief you’re experiencing, quit the cycle of avoidance and guilt when it comes to the details of caring for a child with disabilities, and cast a new vision for your life and your family.

We can process through things like:

Reclaiming your identity outside of your child
Finding joy and purpose in this diagnosis
Handling the administrative paperwork for programs like DHS, public school, and more.
Investing in your relationships to strengthen your circle.
Partnering with your church to get the faith support you need.

Whether you just need an hour to process with someone who gets it, or you’d like weeks of ongoing support, we’ll build a custom coaching program for you together.

Are you an organization supporting those with disabilities?

I have experience in navigating the public school system, a late diagnosis, church disability ministry, and much more.

I’m available for educational workshops for your staff team or sponsored group programs for the parents in your care.

In 60 or 90 minute sessions, we’ll cover topics like:

Transitioning into the public school system.
Fine-tuning your existing individualized education program (IEP)
Emotionally and practically processing a new disability diagnosis.
Finding integrative communities.

If you’re a church looking to launch a holistic disability ministry, I’d love to consult with you.

The Family of God is lacking without people with disabilities. If your church is ready to explore this territory for the first time or expand from a 1:1 program to a dedicated ministry, my experience building a disability ministry at a local church could be the support you need.

If your organization has a specific need, I’d love to create a custom program just for you and your clients.
