Joy Isn’t Earned. It’s Reclaimed
CCulturally responsive therapy, executive coaching, and somatic tools for high-achievers navigating overcontrol, perfectionism, and code-switching.
When you struggle with overcontrol, you’re stuck in overdrive. This can feel like you always have to hold everything together, stay vigilant, and prove your worth. It convinces you that rest, ease, and joy are rewards you can only earn after everything is handled flawlessly.
At Joy Now Therapy, we believe joy isn’t a reward for perfection…it’s a practice for right now.
We create somatic tools, immersive workshops, and executive coaching spaces designed to help you honor the survival strategies that kept you safe, while giving you practical, body-based tools to unmask, regulate, and step into sustainable ease.

Grounded Expertise. Lived Experience.
Hi, I’m Laurie Manns, Founder of Joy Now Therapy.
As a clinician and somatic practitioner, I built Joy Now Therapy after seeing high-achieving women professionals constantly run on empty—trapped in a cycle of overperformance and hyper-vigilance just to feel secure.
I created this space to bridge the gap between high achievement and nervous system safety. Through body-based tools, coaching, and clinical innovation, my mission is to help you put down the armor, regulate your system, and reclaim joy as a daily right—not a future reward.
