Dana is a wonderful source of inspiration and insight. She always gathers the details of what I’m struggling with, and gently works with me to uncover the source. She provides tools to help minimize my brain noise and work toward resolution.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a hypnosis session with Dana. From the moment we started the session, I felt at ease. Dana has genuine care for her clients. She took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored the session accordingly. I highly recommend Dana to anyone seeking personal growth, stress relief, or simply a unique and powerful experience. Her professionalism, compassion, and results-oriented approach make her a powerful change worker. And she`s funny too.. Thank you, Dana, for guiding me toward positive changes. I look forward to our next session!
Dana is such a professional. I came with a problem I was extremely uncomfortable talking about and she allowed me to address the problem with out having to explain myself! I was so grateful for that. Contact Dana because she is the real deal!
Working with Dana has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Her expertise in hypnotherapy, coupled with tools like EFT/TFT, has truly empowered me to strive towards becoming the best version of myself. One of Dana's standout qualities is her hypnotic voice, which instantly puts you at ease and facilitates a deep state of relaxation. I highly recommend Dana to anyone seeking a skilled practitioner who is dedicated to their clients' well-being.

Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of focused attention—similar to daydreaming or being absorbed in a good book. You are always aware, always in control, and you decide how deeply you engage.
No. Hypnosis is a safe and temporary state. You can come out of it anytime you wish, simply by opening your eyes or shifting your focus.
Everyone experiences it differently. Some feel very calm, some notice a light floating sensation, while others simply feel focused and present. The most common feedback I hear is: “I felt deeply relaxed, but fully aware.”
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called “tapping,” is a gentle mind-body approach that combines focused attention with tapping on specific acupressure points. This simple practice helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and release stuck emotions. Many people find tapping helpful for easing anxiety, improving focus, and shifting how the body holds on to old patterns.
Most sessions last about 60 minutes. The first session may be a little longer, as we’ll take extra time to talk about your goals and answer questions.
Every person is unique. Some notice shifts in just one or two sessions, while others choose ongoing support over several weeks or months. We’ll find the pace that feels right for you.
Yes. If you’re outside of Los Angeles—or simply prefer the comfort of home—we can meet securely online. Online sessions follow the same process as in-person work.
Yes. Your privacy is deeply respected, and everything shared in a session is kept strictly confidential.
