Calling all seekers, explorers & freethinkers desiring to break out of the mold and create a new paradigm of being on the planet
Hi! I’m Routh Chadwick, Creative Life Artist, Joy Catalyst & Pleasure Activist.
I’ve devoted most of my life to raising humxn consciousness – starting with my own. As a performing artist, I first discovered the magic of transcendence through the creative process. Through the years, I explored the wisdom traditions of the East and West until I eventually went back to school to learn what makes people tick in a more scientifically rigorous way.
Since earning my Masters from New York University in 2008, I spent years working in various mental health settings and finally hung out my shingle on my own psychotherapy practice in 2015.
While I have an extensive background in clinical psychotherapy, my passion lies in creating transformative experiences that enable my clients to regain a sense of inner spaciousness, clarity, and boundless joy. So, for the past ten years, I’ve studied and trained with trailblazers within the emergent + cutting edge field of transformative coaching which brings about profound insights and sustainable change.

Why I created JDV
I created Joie de Vivre to be the antidote to a life of dissatisfaction, to the relentless grind, to an unfulfilling life lived on auto-pilot.
Because the truth is…
Too many people feel trapped in a job they resent, a stagnant relationship, a life put on hold…numbing out the pain with generous pourings of Pinot, overeating of unhealthy foods or late night Netflix binges.
They’ve got well-meaning, but misguided, family members and friends making them feel like their dreams are crazy; that they “should just be grateful”; that they’d be a fool to…
…take a risk
…take a leap
…take a chance
They’re yearning for more but their inner voice of self-doubt keeps them paralyzed in a ghostland where nothing changes.
“You can’t do that, what if you fail?”
“What are people going to think?!”
“What if you make the wrong decision?”
“You have responsibilities!”
And you know what? Your inner voice is right.
You DO have a responsibility: the responsibility to live your best life, to not waste your precious gifts, and to be a model of hope for your children / your community / the world, as you courageously walk the path that truly calls to your heart.
I am here to take a stand for your wildest, most impossible dreams. Will you stand with me?
Your birthright to
Joie de Vivre
As a psychotherapist and transformational coach who’s worked with hundreds of people around the globe, I’ve developed a unique framework of transpersonal alchemy which guides my clients out of distress and confusion and into the space of possibility where they can intentionally design a life that reflects their highest potential.
My superpower? To help you cut through the noise that is keeping you stuck, feeling inadequate and dissatisfied.
My multidimensional work guides you through a powerful, transformative process that enables you to tune out the noise and into your own inner wisdom so that, step by step, you can create the work / the projects / the money / the relationships you’ve been truly yearning for.
On my WHY – my calling – aka what gets me out of bed in the morning…
The last couple of years has been (let’s be honest here) a cluster f*&k.
As I was creating this platform, these programs, this community that invites us to rethink how we want to be in the world (Playful! Vibrant! Joyfilled!), I couldn’t ignore that there are realities/issues/paradigms that we need to address and correct if we’re ever going to rebirth a New Earth.
Personally? I’d like to take the toxic, fear-based, patriarchal, capitalistic narratives that dominate our landscape and BURN these old, tired scripts for good.
I want us to rethink what the American Dream really is because right now, it feels more like the American Delusion.
I’m so over the myth that if you work hard/struggle/hustle you’ll be successful and/or rich (and that somehow that all adds up to happiness). Aren’t you?
The lies we’ve been fed (lies that we’ve believed!) have left us exhausted and suffering in silence. And I’ve had enough of seeing people suffer because they’re filled with shame, struggle with anxiety and feelings of “not enough” and perfectionism.
In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with the collective neurosis that we constantly need to be “doing” and “making things happen,” it’s time to reframe our perspective of ourselves and the world.
I want you to thrive and fulfill your dreams without the burnout
I want you to see you are whole and you are enough as you are
I want you to know that there’s an easier way to solve problems
I want you to know that happiness is not the destination of some exhausting race
We can choose curiosity and inspired action over fear.
Inspired by the words of Sonya Renee Taylor: I do not want us to go back to “normal,” to go back to an existence where we normalize greed, exhaustion, disconnection, divisiveness, and scarcity. That’s not a goal we should have as a society, as people who want change.
If we’re going to normalize anything, let’s normalize generosity, connection, the honoring of our land, and gathering in community to support and LIFT each other.
Let’s be conscientious participants in the healing of society and the world.
