About Diana

Evora Lume was created from a simple yet profound realization—that when women dedicate time to nurture themselves, life unfolds with more ease, clarity, and grace.

Founded by Diana, Evora Lume was inspired by her own journey of learning to slow down and prioritize well-being in a world that often encourages women to keep doing more. Like many women, Diana spent years focused on achievement, productivity, and caring for others, often without leaving much space for herself.

Over time, she came to understand that self-care is not indulgence, but an essential foundation for well-being. Prioritizing her own well-being did not always come easily. Through creating space for rest, reflection, and intentional self-care, she discovered greater balance, energy, and presence in her life. More importantly, she realized that caring for herself did not take away from the people and responsibilities she valued—it allowed her to show up more fully for them.

This realization became the foundation of Evora Lume: a space that gently reminds women that caring for themselves is not selfish, but an important part of living well.

Guided by both personal experience and a commitment to lifelong learning, Diana became an Advanced Certified Health & Wellness Coach and a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). Her professional background includes experience in behavioral therapy, along with additional studies in health and wellness through Harvard Medical School. Through evidence-based health coaching and a compassionate, client-centered approach, she supports women in creating sustainable practices that honor their health, values, and everyday lives.

The Meaning Behind Evora Lume

The intention behind the name.

The name Evora Lume embodies this philosophy.

“Evora” evokes softness, restoration, and the beauty of slowing down. It is also inspired by the ancient city of Évora in Portugal, home to the historic Temple of Diana—a meaningful connection to Diana's own name and a reminder of timeless wisdom, reflection, and inner strength.

“Lume,” meaning “light,” symbolizes the quiet radiance that emerges when we live in alignment with our health and well-being. It represents the clarity, vitality, and sense of connection that can emerge when we make space to care for ourselves.

Together, Evora Lume represents a gentle invitation to create a life that feels more intentional, balanced, and illuminated from within.

Wellness that meets you where you are.

A More Intentional Approach to Wellness

At Evora Lume, wellness is not viewed as a rigid set of routines or expectations. It is a personalized and evolving process that considers the full scope of your life—your habits, your environment, your responsibilities, and your overall well-being.

Health and wellness coaching is a collaborative process that helps you explore what matters most to you, understand what may be getting in the way, and identify meaningful changes that feel realistic within your everyday life.

Rather than following a fixed plan, the process is shaped around you. Your goals, values, strengths, needs, and lived experiences guide the work, while evidence-based coaching and behavior-change strategies provide support and structure along the way.

The role of the coach is not to tell you what you should do, but to support you in finding what works for you—and creating practices that can become a natural part of your life.

Holistic health coaching at Evora Lume is:

  • Client-centered and collaborative.

  • Focused on the whole person—mind, body, and daily life.

  • Guided by your goals, values, and current needs.

  • Strength-based building on what is already working in your life.

  • Focused on creating realistic lasting shifts rather than quick solutions.

Moving beyond Perfection

Well-being without the pressure to get it all right.

Wellness is often associated with doing more, doing better, or getting everything “right.”

At Evora Lume, we believe in a different approach. One that is gentle, sustainable, and rooted in real life. You don't have to follow a perfect routine or strive for perfection. Instead, you're supported in creating a way of living that feels balanced, nourishing, and realistic for you.

Many women spend years caring for others, meeting responsibilities, and moving from one task to the next, often believing that rest must be earned or that their own well-being can wait.

We believe there is another way—one that creates space for both responsibility and restoration and reminds us that caring for ourselves isn't something to feel guilty about. It's an essential part of living well.

Well-being that makes room for you too.

A Space for Women

Evora Lume welcomes women from many different walks of life—whether you're balancing work, school, family, caregiving, personal growth, or simply longing to create more space for yourself within the fullness of everyday life.

While every experience is unique, many women share a common desire:

• To feel more balanced and less overwhelmed.

• To have more energy and emotional capacity throughout the day.

• To create space for their own well-being without guilt or pressure.

This is a space to support that gently, realistically, and with compassion for where you are.

A Gentle Invitation

Evora Lume is, above all, a space to return to yourself.

To slow down.

To restore.

To create a way of living that feels more intentional, balanced, and supportive of your well-being over time.

Evora Lume Wellness House is a space for restorative living, intentional self-care, and a more balanced approach to wellness.
