It is a total transformation of the way we think, feel, and act in the world. It’s a direct function of how we ‘fuel’ ourselves — with food, love and soul-fuel – in alignment with our values, our unique needs and our deepest desires.
Wellness is more than just the food and supplements we put in our bodies.
Easier said than done, right?
All we need to do is to remember who we are on a soul level and begin to listen to the guidance of the inner compass that lives inside of each of us.
My offerings are my way of sharing the lessons, knowledge, tools, and inspirations that I collected along the way with you, both through my Free resources and paid services.
I embarked down a path to heal my mind, body, and spirit. Yoga was the beginning of my transformation, of my spiritual re-awakening, of my journey of healing, trusting and cherishing my mind, body and soul and of learning to love my SELF. I went on to study meditation, coaching and nutrition from both Western and Eastern philosophies and I explored various wellness modalities like acupuncture, osteopathy, and Chinese Traditional Medicine. I studied various spiritual texts, read numerous self-help books and quantum science theories. I also fell in love with food and the potent and beautiful healing power of plants as medicine and nourishment, not just as a means to an end.
Slowly, I’ve been healing and strengthening my mind, body, and spirit from the inside out by rooting myself in practices like gratitude, meditation and breathwork, nourishing my body for vitality and strength, communing with friends and family, honouring my connection to the spiritual world and universal energies, serving the world with love and compassion, and celebrating and helping to conserve the Earth’s natural spaces.
I knew there had to be a better way, and I was determined to find it.
For a big part of my life I hated myself and my body. I played small and I starved myself and my passions (literally and figuratively). I quieted my voice in the outside world and battled with the horribly abusive voice in my inside world. I didn’t believe in the beauty, worth and strength of the woman inside of me. And my body heard... it took the pain and stress on and it manifested into chronic illness.
After years of doctors telling me there was no cure for my illness (and that I would need to be reliant on prescription drugs for the rest of my life), I decided to take my health into my own hands.
and my wellness journey took many twists and turns before I cultivated an intuitively-led wellness lifestyle.
I’m Dana Readings,
Gina Faubert, International Life Coach & Founder of Radiant Girls
“Immediately upon meeting Dana, anyone can see she has an enormous heart and a passion for serving others. She is knowledgeable, grounded in science, but also very intuitive and present — an unusual combination. The girls at Radiant Girls events are drawn to her quiet and calm, nurturing, and loving nature. She was the favourite speaker at our virtual youth wellness events, and is my go-to expert for girls with food issues, and body problems."
Dana is a gem in the rough of self-proclaimed experts.
— Sarah M., past client
“Dana is creative and a forward thinker focusing on holistic care and health practices. She is friendly, calm and motivating. My favourite part about working with Dana was her attention to detail. She provided me with a fitness plan and health recipes that supported my immune system and healing body. She also assisted the visualization of what I was looking for in a dream home. After working with Dana I felt stronger, healthier and more confident.
Dana asked just the right questions to get a better picture of who I am and what I was needing for my health.
— Catherine D., Calgary, AB
“Dana has obviously put in the hours of sit time and think time to craft effortless and nurturing meditations. She gently guides you through the sea of your mind using powerful analogies and visualizations, with a magnetizing pace and rhythm and asking contemplative questions. Her curated sessions have allowed me to feel more connected with my world and my own inner peace."
Articulate and poignant, each of Dana's meditations are worth every single second of mindfulness.
— Tracy Slobodian, Calgary, AB
“All I can say is “wow!” Listening to Dana's meditations gets me back to my center and grounds me again. It allows me to breathe, take a step back and re-focus the negativity into calm. Thank you! Your energy is just what I need in my life.”
Dana has such a way with words to make me feel calm and relaxed even in the midst of anxiety or panic.
