My story. My why.

My name is Dana. After experiencing firsthand the power of exercise to help pull me through two difficult times in my life, I was intrigued. When I began taking self defense classes, I then truly felt strong and confident about handling any situation that life threw at me. Once I saw how it all works together (movement, mindset, meal plan), I became obsessed with sharing this knowledge with everyone who wanted to listen.

My first career is in medicine and similarly to that career, I always look to gain new knowledge and serve my clients. I’m a student and a teacher. My hope is to empower you to live your healthiest, strongest, and most fulfilled life!

"Look at what’s going on nowadays in the world. If you have technique, there’s a lot you can do. To have this lady right here to do it…I use her to demonstrate all the punches in my classes because she has great technique. I would recommend that you all come to Dana."
