Joy Rigel is an Emotional Intimacy Coach, Somatic Movement Specialist, and founder of the Qi Haus Foundation, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit creating community through experiences, experiments, and collaborations that explore, uncover, and document what it means to be human.

 

Living with Sensory Processing Sensitivity shaped Joy's early understanding of the world, guiding her into a lifelong exploration of the subtle, felt sense of human experience.

​

Through two decades of embodiment work, Joy turned her private practice into a living lab, studying how presence, energy, and sensorial awareness transform the way we connect with ourselves, each other and our world. Her work invites people to rediscover their innate sensitivity, awaken embodiment and creativity, and engage with life more fully.

​

Motivated by her own discoveries and the shifts she witnessed in her clients, Joy founded Qi Haus as a space where sensitivity becomes a strength, community becomes medicine, and human connection becomes a path for collective healing and evolution.

​

Joy continues to work privately with clients around intimacy, embodiment, sensuality, and connection, while developing new community and creative explorations through Qi Haus, Circles of Eden, its sister initiative bringing these explorations into art and culture, and Sensual Sisterhood, an ongoing space for women to explore embodiment, connection, creativity, and feminine intimacy.
