Hi there, I'm Dr. Diedra

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle a career and personal life while managing your physical and emotional health in midlife. I’m here to help women like you restore their health and optimize their well-being with clarity and confidence.

I know what it feels like to have health challenges while trying to stay on top of life and work.

A few years ago, I was right where you are, searching for real solutions.

Like you, I wanted to feel vibrant and capable, not held back by my body's changes.  

Back then, I was a driven professional, pushing hard in my career without realizing the toll it was taking on my health. 

But just when I thought I had it all together, a breast cancer diagnosis turned my life upside down.  

After finding few holistic solutions, I decided to create a framework that included both ancient and modern medical modalities to recover and rebuild my health from the ground up. 

Now, over a decade later, I’m healthier, balanced, and living out my mission to help women thrive during midlife and beyond 

With years of success in guiding women like you, I’m here to share this process so you can transform this phase into a period of renewed strength, clarity, and fulfillment to your current success and transformation.

Friendly Words From Clients 

“Health and wellness is a personal journey, but that doesn’t mean it has to happen alone. Diedra did an amazing job not just addressing my pain and discomfort from scoliosis but in reviewing my current situation in context of my whole body health. From encouraging me to engage a surgeon to confirm there was no underlying injury with my chronic pain to reviewing my bloodwork in order to help me connect with other professionals that could support HRT and additional underlying concerns, Diedra focused on the bigger picture while addressing the immediate problem. Her her guidance for exercises catered to where I am at on my  journey helped me not just through the immediate crisis but brought me to a place where I was able to adopt practices for day to day living that make my situation healthier and more manageable for the long run.”

"My blood pressure was really high for the longest time. My cholesterol is high. I was always anxious. And since I met you, within two months, I finally got rid of my anxiety. My blood pressure went down. I'm actually a happier person.  I have everything in my life going that I have not enjoyed and now I'm cooking with happiness. I feel like I’m more focused, I feel smarter.  I feel stronger, and I am, in the end, a happier person. I'm learning a lot from you Dr. Manns, because you are extremely focused and precise as to my problem and other people have diagnosed it they do not know how to solve it, you are exactly on point with the stuff you give me. My body is craving for all this healing that nobody has done anything about. I feel like I’m living finally." - Lilian
