When Tina Hamilton left a decade-long nursing career to open DI Body on Davis Islands, she was doing more than launching a business. She was creating a practice in the same neighborhood she and her husband, D.J., had already chosen as home.

The Hamiltons first fell in love with Davis Islands during weekend bike rides through its quiet streets and along the waterfront. As they prepared to welcome their first daughter, they realized the neighborhood offered everything they wanted for their growing family. Over time, friends settled nearby, D.J.'s parents moved to the Islands, and the sense of community only grew stronger.

So when Tina decided to open her own medical aesthetics and wellness practice, there was never any doubt about where it belonged.

DI Body opened its doors in March 2023 with a simple goal: to provide advanced medical aesthetics and wellness services in an environment where patients feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for.

Tina's experience as a board-certified nurse practitioner, including time in the cardiac unit at Bayfront Hospital and in adult primary care at BayCare, shaped that vision. Her clinical background gave her the confidence to build a practice centered on education and personalized care instead of quick appointments.

Today, DI Body has grown into a full service practice supported by licensed estheticians Brenna and Cece, along with massage therapist Katharine. Patients can choose from wrinkle relaxers including Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, dermal fillers, laser skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, microneedling, PRP treatments, HydraFacials, chemical peels, and customized facial services.

The practice also offers medical weight management programs, IV hydration therapy, vitamin injections, NAD+ therapy, plus relaxation and therapeutic massage, allowing patients to address wellness and self care in one convenient location.

While the list of services continues to expand, Tina and D.J. believe the experience matters just as much as the treatments themselves.

"Our goal is to create a place where people feel comfortable asking questions, learning about their options, and making choices that help them feel more confident and healthier," D.J. says. "Building relationships with our patients and our neighbors has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey."

That philosophy has helped the practice grow through lasting relationships. Many patients have been with DI Body since its first year, and referrals from friends and neighbors continue to introduce new faces to the practice.

The Hamiltons' commitment to Davis Islands extends well beyond the office. D.J. serves as President of the Davis Islands Village Association, working alongside other local business owners to strengthen the community. He also co-hosts “DI Update” on social media along with Jon Howard.  Tina is also a founding member of DI Pilates, another reflection of her investment in the neighborhood they proudly call home.

Recently, DI Body added new exterior signage to make the practice easier to find. It may seem like a small change, but it reflects the same welcoming approach that has guided the business from the beginning. For Tina and D.J., caring for their neighbors starts with making the front door easy to walk through.
