About Wellness with Dee (Ann)
Wellness is a holistic state of balance and vitality. It encompasses physical, mental, spiritual, relational, and emotional well-being, allowing us to fully engage with life. It entails nourishing our bodies, having a clear mind, and experiencing contentment and resilience. It's not simply the absence of illness but a vibrant state of flourishing.
I don’t want to run a marathon. I am not desirous of competing in any physical event. I want to feel good, consistently. I want to sleep well, nightly. I want to chase the kids in my life around and not be winded or break a hip. I want to go hiking without worry or clicking knees. I want to eat without having to say, “I’m allergic to ____.” If these simple ideas speak to you, then I’m your guide.
I’ve been where you are. And I’ve walked the road you’re on. And I can help.
Hi! My name is Dee Ann, and I have a deep passion for wellness. Back in 2008, I received a diagnosis of Graves Disease, a condition that turned my world upside down. Since then, I've embarked on a relentless journey, seeking out the key that would unlock my path to wellness. Along the way, I've encountered setbacks and moments of frustration, even questioning God, scientific advancements, and my own abilities. I've battled with the darkness of depression, wrestled with weight gain, and struggled with the unique symptoms that come with an invisible condition for which treatment has remained stagnant for decades. Yet, through it all, I've walked the very same path that you find yourself on now.
My faith in Jesus is the cornerstone of my life. I am blessed with an incredibly supportive husband who has been there for me for over 30 years. My grown children bring me immense joy and fulfillment. One of my favorite pursuits is experimenting in the kitchen, creating delicious dishes that nourish the body and soul. I take immense pride in my church community, adore our dogs, revel in the joys of travel & exploring new locales while being incredibly grateful to call Rockport, Texas my home.
I can help you. Yes. I can. And I want to do just that.
Welcome to your wellness journey.
