About Dana

Training meets lived experience.

I bring somatic yoga, breathwork, exercise physiology, and my own recovery journey into one steady, human practice.

A whole-person path back to yourself.

I’m Dana, founder of Blissful Balance, an exercise wellness recovery coach, yoga teacher, and breathwork practitioner. My work is rooted in a simple truth: healing is not only something we think our way into. The body belongs in the conversation, too.

Recovery asks a lot of us. It can also invite a deeper kind of relationship with ourselves — one built through curiosity, compassion, and the courage to stay present.

“The practice adapts to you — not the other way around.”

I create space for movement, stillness, breath, and honest reflection without pressure to perform. You do not need to arrive flexible, calm, or certain. You only need to arrive as you are.

How I show up

My role is not to hand you a perfect formula. It is to help you notice what is here, find what supports you, and build practices you can return to.

Without judgment
Recovery is personal. We begin with your experience rather than assumptions about what your path should look like.
With room to choose
Every practice is an invitation. You stay connected to your own agency, boundaries, and pace.
With the whole person in mind
Breath, movement, nervous-system awareness, and conversation work together instead of living in separate boxes.

Curious whether this feels like the right fit?

A free discovery call gives us space to meet, talk through what you’re looking for, and decide what comes next.

Ways to work together

Support that moves at your pace.

Personal coaching and intimate group circles, grounded in somatic yoga, breathwork, and compassionate recovery support.

01 · Personal

1:1 Recovery Coaching

Individual support shaped around your life, your nervous system, and your recovery. Sessions can draw from grounding, breathwork, gentle movement, reflection, and practical ways to carry the work into daily life.

This is for the person who wants a private place to reconnect with their body, explore what helps them feel steady, and receive support that responds to the day they are actually having.

PersonalizedBody-awareRecovery-centered

02 · Community

Small Group Circles

Intimate breathwork and coaching circles for six to eight people. Each gathering offers a chance to practice, be witnessed, and experience the steadiness that can grow in community.

You never need to perform or share more than feels right. The circle is designed to make room for both connection and personal choice.

What a session can make room for

01

Arriving

We begin by noticing what is present rather than forcing a different state.

02

Practicing

Breath, movement, and grounding are chosen to meet your needs in the moment.

03

Integrating

We close with space to reflect and carry something useful into the rest of your day.

You can begin with a conversation.

No pressure and no need to have everything figured out. Bring your questions and what you hope support could feel like.

The Blissful Balance approach

Healing includes the body.

Breath, movement, nervous-system awareness, and recovery coaching come together in a practice that is invitational rather than performative.

Nothing to prove. Something to notice.

Somatic practice begins with attention: the breath as it is, the body as it feels, and the signals that are often missed when life moves quickly. That attention can create a little more space between what we feel and what we do next.

The goal is not a perfect pose, a certain kind of calm, or a performance of wellness. The goal is a more compassionate connection with yourself — one breath and one choice at a time.

The practices we draw from

01

Somatic yoga

Accessible movement and body awareness help you notice sensation, choice, and the possibility of responding differently.

02

Breathwork

Intentional breathing practices offer a direct way to work with energy, attention, and the nervous system.

03

Recovery coaching

Conversation and practical support connect the practice to real life, real patterns, and the next manageable step.

04

Trauma-informed care

Choice, consent, and pacing matter. Practices are offered as invitations, with your agency at the center.

A practice for real days

Some days call for movement and energy. Others call for stillness, breath, and deep rest. We listen first, then choose.

Grounded
Simple practices help bring attention back to the present moment and the support available now.
Adaptable
Movement and breath can be changed, paused, or skipped. The practice works with your body.
Integrated
What happens in a session is connected to everyday choices, relationships, and recovery.

Start with the day you’re having.

A discovery call is a simple place to ask questions and see whether this approach feels right for you.

Talk with Dana

Free discovery call

Let’s begin with a conversation.

Share what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get a feel for whether working together feels right. There is no pressure to decide anything on the spot.

What happens next

01

Tell Dana what you’re looking for

A few lines are enough. You do not need to know exactly which kind of support you want.

02

Find a time to connect

The discovery call is a space for questions, context, and an honest sense of fit.

03

Choose the next step

If it feels right, you can talk through one-to-one coaching or a small-group circle.

No perfect words required.

Come as you are. A simple “I’m curious” is enough to begin.

Recovery is more than getting through. It can be a way of coming alive.

I know this road from both sides.
