My name is Amy Joy. I was born in Japan, grew up in the U.S., and studied modern languages and sociology in Europe and South America. I speak 5 languages (English, Japanese, French, Spanish and Portuguese). I am a singer and a dancer, and will very soon complete my studies and become a certified raw foods chef, holistic health coach and yoga instructor. My dream is to help people live healthier and happier lives by offering my skills as a multilingual health educator and performer. 

I am launching this campaign to kickstart my new company, Follow Your Joy. The purpose of Follow Your Joy is to raise awareness about healthful, vibrant, intelligent and compassionate lifestyles though holistic healthcare coaching, raw vegan food workshops, videos, and yoga classes. Health and happiness on a global scale starts with the individual. This is why helping individuals attain true health and happiness matters so much to me. 

The contributor’s support to this campaign is paramount, as it helps me finalize the accreditation process that is necessary to begin serving others in attaining healthier and happier lives. By supporting Follow Your Joy, the contributor also helps to develop community networks that support greater health education and awareness, as well as a web based health channel that educates and inspires viewers worldwide.  

My goal is to raise $8,000. This amount will cover the final leg of my accreditation necessary to officialize Follow Your Joy. This amount covers the cost of my yoga teacher training accreditation ($5,550), my travel cost to Indonesia for the completion of this certificate ($1,500 ~ $2,000), and between $500 ~ $1,000 to cover extra costs related to setting up Follow Your Joy.

This June, I will be taking a course at the Diet for Living Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico with the Center’s charismatic and inspirational lead instructor, Paula Diana, to become a certified holistic health coach and raw foods chef. In September, I will be traveling to Florida to study at the world renowned Hippocrates Health Institute, where I have graciously been awarded an Act of Education award. At HHI I will be attending the Life Transformation Program, which includes studies about holistic approaches to health and wellness, including transformation of the mind, body and spirit. Finally, in October, I will be traveling to Bali, Indonesia, to attend a 200 hour yoga teacher training intensive to become a certified yoga instructor under the tutelage of Alicia Cheung of Yoga Works. I chose this particular program based on my conversations with Alicia, the quality of her character and instruction (based on the numerous testimonials she has received at www.aliciacheung.org), as well as my intuitive affinity and connection with her. 

Through work and savings I have generated enough to pay for my health coach and raw foods chef certification as well as travel expenses to Hippocrates Health Institute. However, I still need additional financial support in order to complete my yoga training, and to cover expenses to get Follow Your Joy up and running.

There are many great perks to supporting Follow Your Joy’s IndieGoGo campaign! From custom designed handcrafted Follow Your Joy jewelry and unique stylish recycled Follow Your Joy T-shirts to yoga classes, private holistic health coach sessions, and gourmet raw vegan meals! By supporting this campaign you will get a first hand preview of the services that will be offered by Follow Your Joy, and also become an integral part of the Follow Your Joy community and network.

Every donation will go towards helping me complete my certification process. Even in the situation that I do not reach my goal, every dollar that is donated during this campaign will go directly to supporting the fulfillment of my accreditation.

There is more than one way to help! If you are not available to make a monetary contribution at this time, please consider helping by getting the word out by sharing this Indiegogo link with friends and family via social network and email, and by making some noise about this campaign in your community!
