You carry within you a compass
a capacity for guidance that is uniquely yours,
waiting to be embodied.
Your body is a bridge
between matter and consciousness,
between sensing and meaning.
When this bridge is disrupted,
what we understand does not always change how we live.
This work supports the conditions
where sensing and meaning can begin to meet again.
We spend so much energy managing, fixing,
and holding ourselves together.
As we learn to listen and stay present,
The body can begin to orient us —
not something to obey or override,
But a living intelligence we can be in relationship with.
Information shifts
from something we think about
to something we can feel and respond to.
Emotions become signals rather than stories or problems to solve.
The body can show us what we need,
where we’re holding,
and how regulation can return —
not by force,
but through curiosity, pacing, and presence.
We relearn how to sense rather than solve,
to meet emotion rather than escape it,
to find safety within rather than outside ourselves.
When we orient with curiosity,
emotions reveal themselves as signals,
and the body begins to show us what supports return.
This is where change begins.
When the body meets experiences that are too much, too soon, or too alone,
it adapts. It learns how to protect.
It learns how to disconnect when staying present is not possible.
Disconnection is not a mistake.
It is an intelligent response.
Over time, this can show up as tension or collapse,
numbing or overwhelm,
or knowing without being able to change.
These patterns live in the body —
in nervous system responses,
tissue,
timing, and rhythm.
The way back is already inside you.
What once protected you does not need to be undone.
It needs to be met.
As safety and relationships increase,
The body can begin to reconnect,
slowly, at its own pace.
Embodiment is not only about feeling more.
It is about allowing what learned to leave
to return when the conditions are right.
The body holds history
as well as wisdom.
This work supports differentiation —
between activation and aliveness,
between past adaptation and present choice.
Inner authority develops over time,
as the capacity to stay present
with what is here.
clients share their experience
Dana's work is based on many years of experience and a multitude of educational training that support each other.
She works intuitively and has the ability to listen to the unspoken needs of the client, as well as respect the client's personal limitations and integrity.
I recommend her soft, yet strong and supportive sessions.

I've learned to manage my chronic tension and stress. I got in touch with my emotions after I hadn't cried for more than 20 years.
I feel a lot more. I have feelings that I didn't have before, but the biggest unexpected win was the relationships with my wife, children, and people in my life that grew in new and exciting ways.
I got much more patient with myself and others.
My sense of life became much more interesting in many ways, and my role in it,
I became a better leader in my work.
My wife even said about this process, it was a great investment :)
After years of anxiety and PMDD,
where I felt I've told my adversity story so many times to so many professionals.
In relatively, such a short time, my anxiety symptoms were gone.
My PMDD symptoms were so much better.
But really, more than anything, I found safety within.
And I feel much more capable and present.
So grateful!

Dana never fails to amaze with her knowledge, intuitive approach, and her ability to guide you in finding YOUR OWN BODY's way.
Forever grateful and in awe of your skills with people and the body.
I've learned so much about myself and my body.
I received knowledge and techniques to listen to my body and not only manage my pain but also prevent it.
Thank you
