I’m Dione — but everyone calls me Jee. I was born and raised in Brazil, and today I’m a wife and a mother of three amazing boys. My journey into health and wellness didn’t begin in a classroom — it began in one of the hardest seasons of my life.

     In 2006, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Around the same time, I learned I had Crohn’s disease, and my two‑year‑old son was diagnosed with colitis. Our world changed overnight. I felt scared, confused, and overwhelmed. I kept asking myself, “What is happening to us?” That question became the beginning of a new path.

     Searching for answers, I discovered a passion for understanding the body, the mind, and the connection between them. In 2007, I earned my Fitness Instructor certification. I later returned to school and completed my bachelor’s degree in health Promotion, where I had the privilege of helping many people during my internship at the LDS Church headquarters.

     Through years of study, personal healing, and hands‑on experience, I learned something powerful: Movement, nutrition, and stress management are not optional — they are essential. And even more importantly, we all have the ability to support our own healing when we understand our bodies and create habits that nourish us.

     For a long time, I believed that the only way to treat health issues was to see a doctor, take medication, and hope the problem disappeared. But through my own journey with thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic stress, I discovered that there are many ways to support the body — naturally, gently, and consistently.

     Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to show up for yourself. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and encouragement.
