Hi! I’m Dana Burns. I live in southeast Florida with my husband and two effervescent boys. I got my start in the wellness world working as a registered dietitian. After a decade of clinical work, I created a private practice helping clients in recovery at addiction treatment centers. As a dietitian, I help clients meet their health goals and improve their energy and mood. However I had a desire to provide my clients with additional tools to dive deeper into self-exploration and to challenge limiting beliefs. Breathwork had a profound impact on my life over many years- so sharing this practice felt like a natural calling.

Breathwork became the bridge for me into a world of greater self-discovery, connection, and spiritually. As a sober person since 2018, I naturally gravitate to ‘self-improvement’ type of education and experiences- however breathwork (for me) isn’t about improving anything. It’s about allowing.. receiving…and connecting with the truth of who I really am. Through breathwork, I became an explorer of my own inner world (the good, bad, and everything in between!). After sooo many years of disconnecting and numbing, I regained the ability to connect deeply to myself and the world around me.

“The opposite of addiction is connection.”- Johann Hari

Since ‘covid times’, breathwork has been a foundational modality in my life. I found guidance within myself everytime I lied down for a session. The clarity came from within. I started to feel grounded and less reactive in the daily life of motherhood. I was unaware of just how emotionally distant I was until I started breathwork. I discovered that by feeling more- I could give myself permission to experience more joy and ease in life.

“Joy is the matriarch of the family of emotions- it won’t enter a house where her children aren’t welcome.” - Joe Hudson

I used this modality as a tool to release stuck emotions stored in my body. Breathwork helped me to regulate my nervous system, let go of the illusion of control, lessen the inner critic voice, and to live more in my body/heart instead of my head. From the heart, I am committed to showing up for the ones I love. And to be a bridge for others in times of stress, uncertainty and transition.
