Biography

Meet Dr. Joy Pedersen: A Life Dedicated to Empowerment and Transformation
Dr. Joy Pedersen founded Express Success in 1981 with a vision to help people overcome the struggles blocking their path to effortless success. While working in television at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, Joy began teaching the Law of Attraction to empower others. Observing that some people thrived while others struggled despite using the same techniques, she embarked on a journey to uncover the hidden causes of success blocks.
Pioneering Spiritual Healing
In 1986, Joy trained in ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian spiritual healing practice meaning “to correct and set a right.” This powerful technique collaborates with divinity to release subconscious blocks, creating a pathway for more effortless manifestation and greater harmony.
From Hollywood to a Higher Purpose
During her career at Paramount, Joy worked on over 40 television shows, including iconic titles like Cheers, Happy Days, Taxi, Mork & Mindy, and Family Ties. She later became Bureau Chief for the nationally syndicated show PM Magazine, overseeing lead Hollywood-based stories.
Although thriving in the entertainment industry, Joy felt called to make a more considerable difference. She left Hollywood, returned to her home state of New Jersey, and began teaching The Art of Networking and facilitating business networking groups. Her natural talent for connecting people and ideas led her to create and lead successful networks across the U.S. and Canada.
A Divine Calling
In 1994, Joy discovered automatic writing, which enabled her to channel messages from God, angels, ascended masters, and other divine beings. This connection deepened in 2004 when Archangel Michael appeared to invite her to write his book, Wisdom of the Guardian: Treasures from Archangel Michael to Change Your Life and collaborate in a healing practice.
Spiritual Leadership and Global Impact
Joy’s spiritual studies expanded into Reiki, Spiritual Healing, and Spiritual Health Coaching certifications. She also earned a Master’s in Metaphysics and became a Doctor of Divinity in 2010, a title she felt reflected her life’s mission. Recognized for her contributions, she has been honored with numerous awards, including Angel of Mercy, for clearing the causes and effects of darkness.
Joy can see to the beginning of time through her intuitive gifts and connect with souls across all dimensions. She uses her abilities to eradicate negative energies, memories, emotions, and karma that hinder personal and business success. Today, she serves a global clientele through private and group sessions, teleseminars, and workshops.
