Licensed Massage Therapist 

Dana - Bringing Balance Through Healing Touch

Meet Dana, our experienced Massage Therapist and Healing Arts enthusiast. Her journey into the world of wellness started at the Colorado School of Healing Arts in Lakewood, CO, where she completed a rigorous 700-hour massage therapy program.

Dana's training covered a wide range of massage techniques, from the soothing strokes of Swedish massage to deep tissue work that eases muscle tension. She's skilled in myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular massage, basic sports massage, postural analysis, and the balancing practice of polarity energy work.

In addition to massage, Dana's holistic approach led her to a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Samadhi Yoga in Denver. Here, she gained her Yoga Nidra teacher certification and explored the transformative world of Reiki with guidance from Jeremy Wolf.

What Dana finds captivating about massage therapy is how it blends science with compassionate care, offering immediate relief from pain and stress. She believes that relaxation, trust, open communication, attentive listening, and deep breathing are the keys to success in bodywork, movement, and meditation. Each session is finely tuned to meet the specific needs of each individual's body, heart, and mind. Dana also supports long-term wellness through personalized treatment plans and ongoing movement recommendations.

Seeing her clients leave with a post-massage glow of relaxation and bliss brings Dana immense joy. She ensures that each client's present needs and goals are met by maintaining open communication throughout every session.

As a dedicated bodyworker, Dana values ongoing self-care. She practices what she preaches through nourishing foods, yoga, meditation, and various holistic therapies. In her personal time, she explores the natural world, enjoys music, reading, drawing, and reflects on life's wonders.

Dana is excited to bring her expertise and profound relaxation to the Masque by Mask team. She hopes to contribute through therapeutic massage and continue guiding others on their journeys to healing and wellness.
