​Guided Joy was born from one of the greatest gifts of my life — the years I spent caring for a remarkable 105-year-old woman and her deeply loving family. What began as companionship grew into a life-changing experience of wisdom, gentleness, and daily lessons in what truly matters. In her presence, I learned that wellness is not complicated — it’s connection, purpose, nourishment, laughter, nature, and being cared for with dignity. The love shared within her family showed me how powerful compassionate support can be, and it inspired me to create Guided Joy so I could offer that same level of heartfelt, nature-centered care to others.
