About Tonyah Dee
Tonyah Dee knows what it’s like to feel lost, emotionally overwhelmed and driven by poor coping behaviors—and what it takes to find inner peace and self-love. After a difficult season that included divorce and a diagnosis of anxiety, she found herself searching for a way to heal. That search led her to seek God daily through meditation, prayer, scripture, and devotional chant—spiritual practices that became the foundation for a powerful transformation. Over time, anxiety gave way to clarity. Struggle gave way to peace. And a deep, enduring inner power began to take root.
From this journey, a creative force began to take her in new directions and her company, YahLight, was born which means the “light of the Lord.” Tonyah’s guiding light is Jesus, and she believes it is by igniting his unconditional love in our hearts that we can be returned to innocence, empowered, and find our authentic purpose. She calls herself a “Holy mischievous new wineskin” as she embraces her authentic and divine calling that God poured into her.
As a registered dietitian, master meditation teacher, Christ-centered coach and author, Tonyah blends science and spirituality in everything she teaches. She’s developed practices that nurture the body, soul, and spirit, along with resources to support emotional clarity and inner calm—like her Emotional Clarity Cards, guided meditations, devotional chant music, courses, and her book How to Meditate with Jesus.
Tonyah’s work is grounded in a lived experience of overcoming the many obstacles that kept her from merging with a Higher Power. She has triumphed over anxiety, addictions, codependency, people pleasing, self-sabotage and more. For more than two decades, she has continued the practices that first helped her heal—starting each morning with sacred connection. It’s through this rhythm of devotion and the resulting creative flow that she’s been able to guide others to a deeper sense of truth within.
Her teachings bring about authentic connection, healing for the soul, and a way to integrate body, soul and spirit. They are biblically rooted and experientially powerful, satisfying the modern spiritual hunger found today.
When she’s not creating, teaching, or coaching, Tonyah spends her time in places that fuel her love of nature, beauty, and community. Through YahLight, she invites you to begin your own journey—toward peace, power, and self-love.
