A Dash of Dana

Dana was very patient with me and taught me to be patient with myself. She was the perfect person to lead me out of the world of “diets” and back to improved lifestyle and health. She is knowledgeable and when I had random issues she had solutions. I learned a lot from her and feel like I’m on the right track now.

Dana is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with! After a decade of restrictive dieting I enlisted Dana's help to work on my relationship with food. In the 8+ months I have worked with her, we have increased my maintenance calories by over 600 calories A DAY! My weight has stayed the most consistent it's ever been and I continue to gain control on my relationship with food. Dana is always looking at what's best for each client and makes changes when necessary that allow me to see the results I want. She's helped me erase 10+ years of negative behavior. I am FOREVER grateful for her guidance and help over the past year, as it will allow me to be a much happier and healthier person going forward.

I have been using Dana with A Dash of Dana for 7 months. I loved working with her. She taught me how to have a balanced and nutritions diet which led to better sleep, less stress and more energy.
The platform she uses is easy and intuitive. Dana does not encourage restricting food groups. Instead, the focus is having your meals include protein, fat and fiber.
I would 100% recommend A Dash of Dana.

I could not share enough positive feedback about working with Dana! Over the past six months, I have worked closely with her to improve body composition and squash a mild form of disordered eating. Along the way, I have ran my first full marathon and will shortly be taking on a rim to rim to rim of the Grand Canyon. Dana has a very methodical, effective and gentle approach, where she considers history, activity level, and goals, to run numbers on the back end and deliver incredibly helpful feedback and support. I did not have to worry about math. I just focused on my intake and hitting macros. Dana not only provided science behind her guidance, but also sent wonderful recipe ideas and ways to leverage intake with a focus on sleep, digestion, hormone balances, rest/recovery, stress management, and hydration. I once thought nutrition was simply about the foods you ate, but she has taught me it is SO much more. I have been able to greatly improve my body composition and performance, as well as my overall well-being during a very challenging year. I would have never dreamt up the idea to take on the Grand Canyon without her expert knowledge and guidance. I am confident in my abilities to fuel and recover. Our weekly check-in calls hold me accountable. Dana’s eagerness to truly help and her scope of scientific based knowledge sets her apart. My only regret is that I could not find Dana sooner. I spent my 20’s dealing with a very unhealthy relationship with food and couldn’t thank her enough.

Working with Dana has been a fantastic experience. She doesn’t just know her stuff but she understands how to work with people. Making nutrition changes are not easy and she does a great job of helping you set realistic small goals that you can achieve and build upon. She is a pleasure to work with and makes you feel like you’re not only important but that you can achieve your goals.
