Your WELL-BEING
after 50 MatterS
Hi! I’m Dana!
For years, I struggled with back pain, headaches, extra weight, and zero energy. Add to that the rollercoaster of perimenopause—night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, even depression—and honestly, I was ready to give up.
Every doctor I saw offered the same thing: prescriptions, steroid shots, and temporary fixes with more side effects than solutions. None of it made me feel like myself again.
So, I took matters into my own hands. I dove into yoga, holistic nutrition, and meditation—and everything began to shift. My pain eased, my menopause symptoms calmed down, and little by little, I felt my strength, balance, and energy return. Most importantly? My mind grew steadier, and joy crept back into my everyday life.
Today, at 58, I’m a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Wellness Coach, and Yoga Instructor. I help women 50+ create a positive mindset, nourish their bodies with simple nutrition, and find freedom in movement that feels good.
My mission is simple: to give you tools that actually work—so you can fuel your body, calm your mind, and move with joy in this amazing stage of life.
You already know a lot about caring for yourself. What’s been missing is support—especially while juggling stress, pain, responsibilities, and years of putting yourself last.
My approach to Wellness Coaching
I don’t believe most women need more information.
They need less pressure, more safety, and a way back to themselves.
Here are the principles that guide my work:
1. Wellness is about the whole-person—or it doesn’t last
Your body, mind, emotions, habits, history, and environment are always in conversation. We don’t “fix” one area while ignoring the rest. Sustainable wellness comes from integration, not intensity.
2. Change starts with self-trust not self-discipline
If willpower worked, you wouldn’t still feel stuck. Lasting change happens when you feel safe enough to listen to your body, honest enough to name what’s not working, and supported enough to move forward without shame.
3. Your nervous system sets the pace
When stress is chronic, the body prioritizes survival over healing. We slow things down, regulate first, and build from a place of steadiness—not force.
4. Support matters more than motivation
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. The right guidance, community, and relationships can expand what feels possible especially in midlife, when you’ve spent years putting yourself last.
5. Gentle consistency beats extremes
Rigid rules, all-or-nothing thinking, and perfectionism often increase stress and pain. We aim for flexible, realistic practices that support your real life.
