Explore my expert tips, delicious recipes, and services. Let’s start this journey together and make your path to a healthier, happier you both enjoyable and rewarding!
My passion for health and wellness began when I was 15, after losing my dad to a sudden heart attack. This personal experience inspired my journey to help others lead healthier lives and prioritize their well-being.
I started my career working in a private practice helping individuals with gastrointestinal disorders and obtaining professional certification in rowing to assist individuals in enhancing their exercise routines and achieving weight loss goals. Recently, I have been involved in developing menus for corporate companies, concentrating on nutritious options and designing meals for individuals with specific health conditions.
Hi! My name is Dana, and I'm so happy you're here!
I am a Registered Dietitian with a passion for all things health and wellness.
I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics then went on to complete my Master's in Nutrition and Exercise Science from SDSU.
I launched Wellness by Dana to empower you to create the best version of yourself. Navigating the changes in our bodies is difficult and I understand how challenging it can be to adapt and embrace a new version of yourself. My own journey has fueled my passion for helping others find balance and confidence. Through personalized nutrition guidance and support, I aim to make these changes more manageable and rewarding, guiding you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
