HOLISTIC HEALTH COACH | FOUNDER OF PROACTIVE HEALTH LABS | HEALTH ADVOCATE | LEGAL & WELLNESS LEADER | MANAGING PARTNER, STEPHENSON, ACQUISTO & COLMAN

Joy Stephenson-Laws is a dynamic and deeply committed holistic health coach whose life’s work centers around one core mission: empowering individuals to take charge of their health—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As the founder and president of Proactive Health Labs (pH Labs) and a veteran healthcare attorney, Joy brings over 40 years of expertise in medical advocacy, wellness education, and legal leadership.

While her roots remain grounded in a strong commitment to physical health, Joy has evolved to embrace something even more powerful—the understanding that true well-being is multidimensional. Real health isn’t just about the body; it’s about the vibrant synergy between mind, emotion, body, and spirit. That’s why she’s expanded her vision and coaching practice to honor and support the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.

Trained through the Foundation for Holistic Life Coaching, Joy blends legal precision, scientific insight, and heart-centered coaching to help clients identify the root causes of imbalance, release limiting beliefs, and create sustainable pathways to vitality, fulfillment, and purpose.

She is also the founding and managing partner of Stephenson, Acquisto & Colman (SAC), one of the nation’s leading healthcare litigation firms. Joy’s professional accomplishments are matched by her personal passion: helping others avoid the preventable suffering she has witnessed—caused by misinformation, late diagnosis, and reactive health choices—by championing education, empowerment, and early intervention.
