ABOUT

About Dana

I am an avid student of the body and all things healing related. I specialize in working with injury, illness, prevention and recovery. I have experience working with a range of populations including young adults, prenatal and postnatal mothers and seniors.

All of my teachings are deeply informed by my dance experience and continuing study of somatic modalities including the Alexander Technique, Myofascial Release Technique, Feldenkrais Method ™, Ortho-bionomy and Yoga.  

Since early childhood I have been inspired by the art of movement, growing up observing my dancer mother, dance teachers and students at Bennington College in Vermont.

I seriously took up studying both nutrition and Pilates at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. After moving to New York City to pursue dance and performance, I had the great honor to continue my Pilates education with master teacher Kelly Kane, at the Kane School of Core Integration where I received mat and full apparatus certification in 2016. 

My Ayurvedic studies began while dancing in New York City, working through my own health struggles. I was immediately drawn to the simplicity and truth Ayurveda seemed to offer. For the first time I found balance in my system and balance in my mind. In NYC I studied with many teachers including Rebecca Davis and Rebecca Dietzel and continued my studies in India at Raja Healthy Acres in Kootanad.

I had the great honor to study under Dr Vasant Lad, graduating from Dr. Vasant Lad’s Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque NM in 2019.

I continue to study both Western and Eastern approaches to health, women’s healing and pre and post natal healing.
