"I have been seeing Dana as a client for 2+ years now. They have been one of the only people that I have been able to share my complete sexual violence and trauma with and they are the only person I trust to work so intimately with my body. Dana is committed to creating a safe healing space for survivors. I see it in their thoughtfulness when interacting with my body and in the language they use to empower me during all conversations. Moment to moment my needs for healing change and Dana adapts their approach based on what suits me. I have grown so much because of our work together. I have and will continue to refer survivors to Dana."

"Dana's expertise in both Shiatsu and deep tissue massage has proven to be a powerful combination in my treatments. I have had Fibromyalgia for many years and have sought out treatment for the muscle pain and stiffness from many practitioners. Dana's ability to guide energy and healing in the body has added a layer of balance and relief for me. They have a keen understanding of the interaction between emotions and physical symptoms which has been eye-opening for me. Even more, I find that the healing is cumulative and lasts over increasing time. I will continue to see Dana on a regular schedule and I would recommend them to others without reservations."

"Working with Dana for the last two years has truly been a blessing. Dana's trauma-informed approach, responsiveness to and understanding of my identities, and deep and holistic knowledge of the workings of the human body have all been gifts to my nervous system. Dana communicates with great thoughtfulness and intentionality, creating space for my voice / needs / boundaries in their provision of care.

As a mental health provider, I spend a lot of time prioritizing, holding, and responding to the needs of others - Dana has demonstrated to me time and time again that they are willing and eager to center my wellbeing in our sessions. Their support is part of what sustains me in my work and life. 

As a trans person, I often have to brace myself when seeking care - anticipating non-affirming providers who misgender me or expect me to educate them on how to best care for me. Working with a gender expansive provider, I can relax, knowing that Dana can relate to elements of my experience and identity and has done the work to try to understand and respect my full humanity. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough." -AB

It has been an absolute privilege to work with Dana over this last year. They combine a strong technical knowledge of anatomy with a command of Eastern medicine theory to create a unique practice that meets a wide range of client needs. I know, because I've come to them with a wide variety of needs and come away more than satisfied each time. We communicate, experiment, and share feedback openly, always pursuing what works best for my healing absent of judgment and fully accepting of my personal journey.

The complexity of my neurological disorders require flexibility from a massage therapist who is deeply reflective and driven to improve. I trust Dana implicitly with my physical health, and I have benefitted enormously from the positive spillovers to my emotional wellbeing. While I'm sure they can deliver some quick relief for general tension or pain, I recommend their services most highly to anyone ready to devote the time and attention to get the most of what they have to offer."

"My experience working with Dana has been hugely rewarding and mind expanding. I had little experience with yoga when I began working with them, and was primarily interested in yoga for improving flexibility and preventing injury. My lessons with Dana have certainly helped in those areas, but they have opened my eyes to many other dimensions of the practice and incorporated meditation in ways that have noticeably improved my sense of awareness and state of mind. Dana is a master teacher with a great understanding of the body. They're very encouraging and clearly is passionate about teaching and helping others. And they are able to adapt their teaching to my needs, abilities, and goals in a thoughtful way."
