Jill Thiry. Teacher, Leader, Coach. Chief Energizing Officer and Founder of Club Change.

Jill started many of these practices years ago and is now delighted to have them all “packaged” here for easy reference, participation and membership!

After receiving her BA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Jill followed her teaching and fitness passion as a recreation director at the local YWCA. She led aerobic dance classes before its massive popularity, attended yoga classes before its renaissance, and started a travel group for singles! She then pursued travel: two years teaching skiing and kayaking in Europe and then trekking for months through southeast Asia before her return to the United States. That initiated years of exploration of different styles and philosophies of spiritual practice.

Upon her return to the US via San Francisco she earned her MBA from University of San Francisco and fortunately landed in the publishing industry. Years of successful growth ensued, managing and developing multiple international magazine brands in print, online and events. Then 9/11 hit, the economy was stalled, and her marriage was headed in the wrong direction. Jill was ready to explore her old passions with an open mind and heart. She began saying “yes” to new things, and “no” to some things. She started singing with a local threshold choir, did a teacher-training in yoga which included chanting, created a local hiking group, and started working on her own independently. Her projects varied from developing new revenue ideas to community building projects in fitness, HR, education, research, consumer publishing, and healthcare. At this critical time in 2002 Jill also began her annual visits to Rancho La Puerta, LLC, a place that helped nourish her courage and confidence in exploring new yes’s and new no’s in her life.

In 2013, Jill moved to Tecate, Mexico to work at “the Ranch” full time. She works in guest services and fitness teaching chant, swimming, hiking pole use, created her “Set Your Ranch Intention” class, and modified an existing class for “How to Live Your Ranch Experience” at home. These “book end” classes, as she refers to the arrival and departure at the ranch, are the direct result of a lifetime of exploring the Ranch Mantra of “Siempre Mejor." We can “always better” do, act, learn, be. She has done annual goal setting with her siblings for over 20 years now, and still does. Her upcoming book “Club Change” will help groups all over the country create a safe place for share the change journey with friends or family. She leads clubs, groups, and sessions around identifying and then doing whatever it is you aspire to do, in a kind, achievable, loving way! This is a time when change is ever present around us. She and you, together, can to choose to move through change with an open heart and open mind. Join her Club in some way soon! Chanting will enhance your breath, your meditations, and your heart; Intention Setting will change your heart, your mind and your actions; Club Change will put these intentions and affirmations into practice in your daily life, your daily moments.

Nine years ago Melody Watts began her journey of self-discovery and healing following a perfect storm of malady, tragedy and bad luck.

Diagnosed with a debilitating form of Lyme disease while struggling through a tumultuous divorce, she simultaneously lost her mother in a tragic car accident. To exacerbate matters she was imprisoned on a baseless technicality and spent 7-months behind penitentiary bars.

Upon release, Melody was introduced to doTERRA essential oils, through a close friend while seeking alternative advice for her son’s recurrent cough. Miraculously, the essential oils worked and Melody’s perspective of holistic healthcare was altered forever.

Shortly thereafter, she officially joined doTERRA in 2013 and by 2015 was top 1% in sales in all of doTERRA. By 2019 Melody sold over $22-million per year and helped thousands of business owners accomplish financial freedom.

Her mission is helping others find financial freedom through a more sustainable quality of life. Melody lives in Meridian, Idaho with her husband Walter and her four children and two horses. https://melodywatts.net/

Women drop out in their 50's because many of them are unable to function. They are running on empty due to the fact that billions of women have nutritional deficiencies, which affects both brain chemistry and hormone function, and if not corrected, gets worse with age plus, empty oestrogen receptors which can be filled naturally to fool the brain into thinking there is normal circulating oestrodial. Through lack of education or any suggestion that it could be any other way, brain fog, insomnia, panic attacks, fatigue and aches and pains prevent women from being the best version of themselves. They buy into the fact that the best years of their lives have passed them by.

Sadly, doctors are not sufficiently educated. The Mayo Clinic Survey in 2019 revealed that only 7% of doctors and gynaecologists feel adequately educated to help women through menopause. A BMA survey a few months ago showed that about 90% of female doctors are bothered by their menopause and 46% either contemplate retiring or working fewer hours. In our last survey on 1100 women in the UK we found 96% of women unprepared for menopause and two-thirds said they felt robbed of life as they knew it. In our survey of 1000 working women, 84% said they productivity was adversely affected for more than 8 days a month. In 2019 Forbes said that menopause is costing $810 Billion globally, each year, due to lost productivity and health care costs associated with menopause. We have to change the paradigm so that women come to understand they simply need what I call a 'midlife refuel' in their 40's. There is a huge missing education piece and my mission is to remedy it.
