The Art of Joy
We are Trésa and Ashlee, a mother-daughter duo we believe that every life experience presents itself to take us on a journey of expansion. A journey to wholeness. A journey to joy. We also believe that joy can overcome anything in this world if it is chosen.
Our goal is to help you navigate the light and the shadow by amplifying others' voices and sharing raw truths to encourage a shift in perspective. Our greatest teachers are those who have navigated the dark and are brave enough to share. This is the community of the Art of Joy. This is the journey to wholeness.
