Dana - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We both know how hard we've both been working these past weeks. On your guidance, I have changed my life forever! Yes very tough to undo some 49 years of self-limiting belief and behaviours, but I TRULY feel like a beautiful butterfly beginning to emerge from a self-imposed limiting chrysalis! You are truly amazing! Thank you.

We are a young married couple and just had our first baby, our relationship was crumbling before my eyes and I honestly believed our marriage was broken. Then we were recommended Dana, both me and my husband were nervous to attend our first session as neither of us had done anything like this before - but the way we saw it, we truly had nothing to lose considering the state of our marriage. Dana also welcomed us to bring our baby with us, which was so comforting as he suffered major separation anxiety from me. The minute we walked in and met Dana we were instantly relaxed, she made us feel so

I had a horrible experience with this lady. The session took a wrong turn and I end up walking out on a couples session. This lady never bothered to get in touch with me again to ask about my well-being or mental health. Not recommended.

After being single for 17 years and trying numerous counsellors, experimenting with various therapies, trying too hard, not hard enough, internet dating (argh!!) and giving up, Dana took me on an unexpected journey to uncovering my core issues and bingo...by our sixth session I opened myself to love and am now with the most divine man I've ever met. Dana gets it, is exceptional in finding what you need to work on and why. She held my hand and guided me to looking at parts of myself I was too scared to go on my own. I felt safe with her and surrendered myself to the process. Working with Dana, doing

Dana made us feel very welcomed, listened to and made sure we felt we were in a safe place. Not only did she help with all of that, she unlocked a lot of hidden issues, which I feel have definitely helped. She has played a big part in what is now a happier and easier life and understanding of myself and others. I definitely recommend Dana, she is an amazing therapist but also an amazing human, and little Kimba. Thank you Dana.
