Wellness. Wisdom. Joy.

Founder & CEO, Anchoring Joy

Dr. La-Kissha Joy is a holistic wellness professional, functional medicine and nutrition practitioner, certified health coach, author, and founder of Anchoring Joy — a wellness and lifestyle brand created to help women reduce stress, establish healthy boundaries, improve their well-being, and create lives rooted in joy.

 After a 33-year corporate career, Dr. La-Kissha Joy transformed her lifelong passion for wellness, personal growth, and helping others into a new chapter centered on whole-person well-being.

Through Anchoring Joy, she provides wellness education, resources, and supportive coaching designed to help individuals make realistic, sustainable lifestyle changes. Her philosophy is rooted in education and empowerment rather than perfection: small, intentional choices can create meaningful change over time.

She is also the author of Restoring Joy: Stress Relief & Boundaries for Women Carrying Too Much, along with companion wellness resources created to help women prioritize themselves without guilt.

Joy is the anchor in every journey.

Dr. La-Kissha Joy believes wellness should feel supportive, practical, and personal. Her mission is to help women become more intentional about caring for themselves — physically, mentally, and emotionally — while building healthier lives they genuinely enjoy.
