1:1 Coaching Program

Develop and define
your authentic leadership skills and style


“Dana specifically is an amazing guide and educator. She helps me clarify my intentions. She provides reminders and somehow knows exactly what I need to hear to release my fears and explore my feelings experiences and emotions. Breathwork with Dana is one of the safest places I've ever been.”

-Emily P.

During this unprecedented time

of change and uncertainty,
my clients are learning and implementing techniques
that allow them to maintain a calm and centered focus
so that can lead from strength and confidence.

Find your authentic leadership style

My One-on-One coaching program stems from
20 years of business and personal development experience
and is designed to get you back on track to living in your fullest vision of life.

In every session I compassionately support you identifying where and how you stepped away from your authentic self and gently guide you back to your center and own energy.


My empathetic approach helps you to develop and define your authentic leadership skills and style. I am particularly supportive and skillful in cultivating feminine based leadership styles and championing women in my work.

"I'm not sure I will be able to properly capture my appreciation for my sessions with Dana. She brings a very unique perspective because she has worked as a woman in "Corporate America" so she has an appreciation for the challenges I face.  Working with Dana has given me more confidence and that has been displayed in my work.  Coworkers have commented that I am more confident in my decisions and more willing to be bold.  I have Dana to thank for this and the time we spend together is so beneficial for me!"

 Customized programs

designed to elevate leaders
out of their every day routines
and into an embodied experience of their fullest vision of life

Callie D.

"The universe has a knack for reminding me that I need support during major transitions, that it is good to have support to help you major life changes! Dana was an amazing resource over the course of 4 months. Through intense changes at home and a tough work environment, we worked together to identify a set of tools that can help me navigate turbulent times and also show up in a way that is more authentic to myself. The most incredible moment through our time together is when it finally clicked...that I had all the strength within myself to change how I showed up. Once that happened, there was a huge shift in the world around me - others started showing up differently and in a way that was more aligned with my natural state. What a blessing that was and a super powerful reminder that we can change from within (and with guidance from Dana)!"

Hello Beautiful Humans, I’m Dana!

It’s nice to meet you.

I believe that harmony within ourselves gives us the capacity to create a more harmonious life.

My passion for being a present and supportive guide for others as they find their own path comes from a lifelong journey of health, wellbeing and personal growth.

I began my yoga practice while studying at Bryn Mawr College before moving to New York and London, where yoga helped to keep me grounded after long days at the Goldman Sachs.

Later on, I took my practice to U.C. Berkeley where I earned an MBA from the Haas School of Business, and subsequently helped to start a variety of socially-conscious companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

When I moved back to Houston, I found that people really needed tools like the ones I had learned through yoga and socially-conscious work to live more balanced and healthy lives.

With my training and experience in breathwork facilitation, biofield tuning, Jivamukti yoga, Reiki, crystal bowls, and more I was able to share complementary tools in the healing arts to facilitate  profound and lasting transformations.

This led me to found Bayou Bliss Yoga, an intimate center known for its small group yoga classes and its impactful workshops and trainings on meditation, energy work, yoga and personal development. My private practice mainly consists of one-on-one sessions with company founders, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. 

My previous corporate career gives me a unique perspective on the challenges we face day to day, and how elusive a sense of wholeness and harmony can be. My coaching practice is largely dedicated to working directly with C-Suite clients and small, high-performing teams to help them access their authentic voice and leadership style.

I am particularly dedicated to helping women lead authentically, from their intuition and the divine feminine. My wish is for everyone to fine a deeper connection to their higher selves, so that they may fully express who they are—and what they are meant to do.

"Now more than ever, I am grateful for Dana and her skillset. Although I consider myself to be an ambivert, quarantine has taken a big toll on my extroverted side. All of this pent-up energy and anxiety are REAL. After an intense 2-hour breath session with Dana, I feel lighter, less anxious, and more ready than ever to improve myself and learn more about my body and mind."
