Living in Devotion to Joy
Joie de vie (often written joie de vivre) is a French term meaning “joy of life.”
It describes a vibrant, wholehearted embrace of living—the ability to find delight, meaning, and beauty in everyday moments. Joie de vie reflects an inner aliveness marked by enthusiasm, presence, and an appreciation for life as it unfolds, not just at its peaks.
In essence:
Joie de vie is choosing joy as a way of being.
This is a space for women choosing joy as a daily practice, not a distant destination. Here, lived experience becomes wisdom, healing becomes ritual, and intention turns into embodied action. Through storytelling, wellness, and conscious creation, let’s explore what it means to alchemize pain into power and live a life rooted in presence, pleasure, and purpose.
Heal Your Way Back to Wholeness
For sixteen years, I lived with breast implant illness (BII) while my body quietly signaled that something was off. At first, the symptoms were easy to dismiss. Over time, they became harder to explain away.
In 2020, I chose to explant. I thought it would be a physical decision. Instead, it became the start of a deeper return to myself.
Healing reshaped my mind, my body, and my spirit. It asked me to listen instead of override. To slow down enough to hear what my body was trying to say. To rebuild trust, one choice at a time, and to move through life with more presence and care.
I share my story because so many women have learned to mistrust their own bodies. But your body is not the problem. It is the messenger. Healing is not a detour from your life. It is your return. Your return to truth. Your return to yourself. Your return to wholeness.

If your detox pathways are under strain, your mind usually signals it first. Brain fog, mood swings, irritability, and wired-but-tired energy often appear when your system is under strain and the clearing process begins. My protocols are direct and structured, designed to create efficient and effective shifts, with the mindset and nervous system support to help you stay steady through the process.

This is detox that actually does something. If you have tried gentle and stayed stuck, you may need a stronger, more targeted protocol. These are deeper, system-focused resets built to move stagnation, reduce symptom load, and support hormones, digestion, skin, and energy. It is not fluffy. It is intentional, strategic, and designed for women ready to commit.

When the body clears, the inner signal gets louder. More intuition, more discernment, stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust. This work can be intense, and it can also be deeply liberating. It is not just feeling better. It is becoming congruent inside and out.

Know Moi
Hello, I’m Vy (Vee).
JOIE DE VY is a space shaped by lived experience and a deep reverence for the body’s wisdom. It’s where I share what it has meant for me to slow down, listen inward, and return to myself.
I’ve come to believe that healing isn’t something we chase or fix. It’s something we remember. It lives in the body, in the breath, and in the quiet knowing beneath the noise of daily life.
What you’ll find here are reflections, practices, and perspectives drawn from my own path. They are offered gently and without instruction. This work is meant to be self-led and intuitive, inviting you to move at your own pace and rebuild trust with your body in a way that feels true to you.
I don’t offer answers or prescriptions. I share what I live, and hold space for others to reconnect with their own capacity for balance, vitality, and wholeness.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
