Meet Joyce
Founder of PlayMindConnect.
​​
Before becoming a coach and facilitator, Joyce built her career in corporate product management and training across global markets. While her professional background shaped her strategic and facilitation skills, it was motherhood that truly transformed her understanding of learning, emotions, and human connection.
​
As her twins grow, Joyce realizes that supporting children goes beyond teaching skills or behaviors—it’s about understanding their inner world and our own as parents. This realization leads her to explore Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), emotional awareness, mindful communication, and the transformative power of play. Through this journey, she reconnects with herself, naturally deepening her relationship with her children.
​
In reflection, Joyce also recognises that for more than a decade, she has intuitively created games, sensory activities, and playful exercises to support her twins’ development. Play remains their most natural language of connection.
​​
That awareness became the foundation of PlayMindConnect.
​
Today, Joyce supports children, parents, and teams through the pillars of Play, Mind, and Connection, helping people grow with confidence, emotional awareness, and meaningful relationships. Her work is grounded in the belief that when connection comes first, growth follows — one playful, mindful moment at a time.
