Meet
Joey R. D’Arco

Joey R. D’Arco,

A Queer Marine Combat Veteran and PTSD Reframing Guide who combines yoga, peer support, and creative writing to help people make sense of their stories.

 

As a student at Ringling College of Art and Design, he brings both structure and creativity to how healing is held at iNViVO.

 

Joey’s approach is rooted in the belief that movement and creative expression are vital tools for processing trauma and reclaiming one's narrative.
