About HERstory

Michelle Morales (she/her) is joy curator and owner of The Joy Room Chicago.  She is a boy mom, Taurus, risk-taker, fear-blaster, and (wo)manifestor that takes pride in the offering of sacred physical land for folks to shine and thrive.

The Joy Room Chicago was born in October 2020 during global pandemonium with the assignment of bringing peace ease, joy, safety, connection, and opportunities to the lives of its visitors.  Intended as an intimate gathering space and incubator for creators that share in its mission, The Joy Room Chicago is a favorite location amongst wellness practitioners, community builders, entrepreneurs, and movers and shakers throughout Chicagoland.

In 2024, The Joy Room Chicago tranformed from a single space into experiential gatherings all building towards the The Joy Room Experience featuring practicioners and facilitators of physical/mental health and wellness, local artists, local food, and local DJ in an All-Day (or Half Day) retreat return-to-self.
