About Us
Joy of My life is a Non-profit organization that provides underserved individuals holistic support to improve all aspects of their well-being. Joy of My life was started because access to alternative health and wellness consultations are typically not covered by insurance, and therefore are only available with self-pay options. Which means the majority of individuals do not benefit from this alternative modality because of finances. Add on top of that prevalent disparities in the community; and that eliminates the very individuals that could benefit most from these resources. Joy of My Life believes all individuals should have access to these necessary and invaluable resources, and be afforded the option to take initiative of their health. Joy of My Life will make this possible!
Mission Statement
The mission of Joy of My Life is to touch the lives of all people, through the example of Jesus, using an integrative model to minister, educate, and teach individuals how to receive healing, walk in health, and experience wholeness.
Board of Directors:
Director: Sierra Garrett
Sierra is inspired to see others fulfilled, particularly in areas
of healing and health. She has found over the years professionally and personally that integrative and functional medicine approach has been under-utilized, but yet is extremely effective.
The importance for her being involved in Joy of My Life is
deeply rooted in her passion for others and her acknowledgement of
multiple disparities in education regarding health throughout the globe. Sierra is extremely passionate that every single person regardless of financial barriers, race, religion, or geographical location should have equal awareness and access to alternative modalities, options with health maintenance, tools for disease prevention, and ultimately achieve a quality of life (Mind, Body, Spirit). Along with Joy of My Life she desires to bridge some of that gap and serve the underserved community to move toward the goal of healing, health, and wholeness utilizing Integrative/Functional teachings. She would like individuals to be aware that Jesus is the orchestrator of it all and that he has given us many tools to facilitate walking in health. The best thing about it all is... no one has to be exempt!
Jesus is her hero for all that he is. Her parents are her role models because it was in them she saw the heart of the Lord expressed and displayed in the physical.
Sierra is the founder of Joy of My Life, she is a full time Nurse Practitioner, mom of two beautiful boys, she loves to sing, dance, write poetry, read, and research.
