About me
Joey Garcia is an author and healer who guides adults and teens into happier, more satisfying relationships, especially with themselves. She has been a radio news reporter, a TV producer, a corporate executive, a high school teacher, and a counselor for homeless teens and adults. Joey was the on-air Relationship Expert for Fox40-TV for more than a decade. Her expertise has been featured in KTLA radio, HuffPost, USA Today, Deutsche Welle, KVIE public television, Capital Public Radio, Global Woman TV Sweden, Australia’s Ticker News, and the Dear Prudence podcast. Born in Belize, she is descended from a long line of traditional healers. She has facilitated spiritual retreats and personal growth workshops in Belize, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Sacramento, California. A sought-after editor and platform coach for authors, she also provides spiritual coaching for adults.
The warm, compassionate style of When Your Heart Breaks, It’s Opening to Love, will make you feel as though you’re talking with a close friend, one who understands heartbreak because she’s been there herself. A true friend who doesn’t sugarcoat the necessary steps for healing. The kind of friend who consistently delivers realistic advice.

Author Platform Coaching
When you hire me as your author platform coach, you’re hiring a writing coach + an editor + a platform coach. I’ll help you shape and edit your novel or nonfiction book while we work together to create a community of readers for your book and build a platform that attracts the media and opportunities.
