About Me
In January 2016, at my post-op appointment after back surgery, the doctor told me to never lift heavy objects, twist, or bend. I couldn’t imagine this to be correct. After all, I'm a wife and the mother of 3 grown kids and I'm eagerly looking forward to being a grandmother someday! I'll need to be able to bend, lift, twist, and pick up babies! So, I began researching a way to move better and more confidently without pain. I became a student of human movement, body mechanics & strength. It's been a long journey, but today, by applying what I've learned, I'm doing things the doctors said I'd never do again....and
I feel great!
Exercise isn’t always what you think! If you envision workouts to be draining & intimidating, think again!
This is the 21st century and my training is science-based and designed to promote a better functioning YOU... every day.
My Philosophy & Program
I believe that any good program starts with an analysis of each client's body movement. I'll evaluate how your back, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles move and put together a custom strength and mobility exercise program. The goal is to avoid injury and intelligently increase strength, stability, balance, and movement.
Movement Screening
The first thing we'll do is assess how your body moves and design a program that safely and effectively improves motion and strength without causing injury.
Strength
We'll build full body strength using your own body & tools like kettlebells, resistance bands, slam balls, and other items to increase your strength in a way that translates to and improves the things you do in everyday life.
Mobility
I use a ground based movement program based upon the Animal Flow practices and will have you use your own body to build
strength and mobility.
You'll love it, its fun!

Dana, I just want to say I appreciate you. You have no idea how fulfilling it is to have completed so many sessions in a way that doesn't intimidate me. You've achieved something I never thought possible - getting me to CONSISTENTLY strength train.

Dana is an absolute joy to work with. She is so passionate about her craft, and always learning. She is open to new ideas and has really transformed over the span of the year that I’ve known her. You will not regret working with someone like her, highly recommended!
Mary
I originally came to Dana after looking for help with lower back pain. I was struggling to do daily activities after spending the most recent 10-15 years of intense desk & computer work and not staying active. Long hours at my desk over a sustained period of time really weakened my ability to stay balanced, lift objects, clean and even get dressed easily. After working with Dana for a few sessions, the back pain disappeared, balance improved and my body awareness increased substantially! I love the individualized attention and the care that goes into workouts that are tailored to my needs. I am grateful to Dana for helping me get stronger and look forward to what comes next in my fitness journey with her. :-)

Dana's based my instruction on a comprehensive evaluation of my core strength and proper breathing techniques and ALWAYS puts safety at the forefront of my training sessions. It was clear her instruction was based on years of training. When first using kettlebells she emphasizes the importance of proper grip, stance, as well as proper breathing to achieve the best results. My goal initially was to build strength in my legs but it became much more than I could have anticipated. I am stronger physically and more confident. Dana's inner strength. physical strength and innate kindness shines through in her instruction,
she wants you to be the very best you can be.
