The Redeemed Body Documentary

Hi, my name is Alia Joy, and I am grateful you are here.

When I was fifteen years old, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Rheumatoid Arthritis. For nearly four years after my diagnosis, the illness left me mostly confined to my bed.

During that season of my life, I spent countless hours reflecting, praying, reading, and writing in my journals. Although those years were difficult, they became a time where my purpose began to take shape.

As I look back through my journals, one message appears again and again: I wanted to help people. Even at a young age I dreamed about starting a nonprofit organization to help others facing difficult circumstances. I once wrote that I wanted to create a place filled with smiles, laughter, love, sound minds, and God.

My heart behind this mission is simple: to love God with all my heart and to love my neighbor as myself. I believe I am only the steward of this mission, God is the true owner.

Through my own journey with illness, God has shown me grace, strength, and hope. Because of that, my desire now is to give back to others who are hurting and searching for answers.

My hope is that Organic Design will help others see that pain can be redeemed.
One of my favorite definitions of hope is: HOPE — Hold On, Pain Ends.

I do not claim to know everything, I am still learning, a certified student for life. My passion behind Organic Design is based on what I’ve witnessed God do in my life and the lives of others.

I am currently pursuing studies in Psychology and Natural Medicine and am excited to continue my studies so I can better serve others.
