Joelle Tamraz is a Lebanese-French-American-British writer living her second chance in the UK with her husband and two dogs.

Her writing delves into psychological themes, moral questions, and family dynamics. Her debut memoir, The Secret Practice: Eighteen Years on the Dark Side of Yoga, won a Spring 2024 PenCraft Best Book in the Memoir category and was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards in the Relationships category.

She is trilingual French-English-Spanish and earned an Honors BA degree in social studies from Harvard and an MBA from INSEAD. She held senior roles in technology companies for over two decades and owned a yoga studio for ten years. She is also a certified life coach and a youth mentor.

Joelle is passionate about sustainability and loves spending time outdoors, walking, cycling, or simply being in nature.

Recovered from New Age idealism, she no longer believes that yoga can cure all ills.

Joelle shares her stories and interviews authors on her YouTube channel, Elevating Voices in Memoir and Fiction.

She is available for talks, interviews, and podcasts.
