• Hi! I’m Dana.

    La Dolce Dana is a heartfelt extension of my own journey.

    This space is a vibrant, evolving sanctuary for women who desire to have a deeper connection with themselves, reimagine their lives, and embrace the beauty of their own unfolding. 

La Dolce Dana is crafted for those navigating life’s crossroads, seeking support and expansion, and wanting to feel more aligned with their deepest values and aspirations. Rooted in my academic studies in Spiritual Development and training in Reiki Healing, Tarot Reading, and nonfiction writing, I draw on tools and practices from spirituality, psychology, and philosophy. This blend of gathered wisdom, personal experiences, and insights offers a unique approach to guiding your journey.

Here, we dive deep into personal exploration and expansion, the relentless pursuit of joy and wonder, and the quiet yet profound act of self-reverence.

To revere oneself is to recognize that nurturing your inner landscape is not a selfish endeavor but a sacred commitment that ripples outward—infusing your relationships, your community, and the collective with greater harmony and authenticity. My goal is to support you in nurturing curiosity, cultivating hope, and creating momentum that carries your dreams forward with ease and flow, all while embracing meaningful and lasting change.

This is a gathering place for women who delight in the art of becoming, the joy of discovery, and the beauty inherent in life's simplest moments. Together, we honor the ebb and flow of existence, navigating the interplay between spontaneity and structure, while embracing the full spectrum of what it means to truly show up for ourselves. Growth here is not about striving for perfection but about stepping fully into your truth—allowing it to radiate in all directions.

I believe in the power of sharing what has lifted us, what has given us hope, and what has helped us grow. My promise to you is simple: I’ll share every insight, tip, and tool that has nourished and supported me, with the hope it might do the same for you.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that spirituality, psychology, and philosophy are threads in the tapestry of life, working together to support both individuals and communities. My philosophy centers on gentle integration—using the collective wisdom of these disciplines to create effortless growth, joyful living, and a sense of ease.

Whether you’re here to deepen your self-understanding, expand your knowledge, or connect with a kindred community, La Dolce Dana welcomes you. Let’s walk this path together—celebrating our unfolding, honoring the seasons and rhythms of our lives, and shaping a life that inspires joy and aligns with our deepest aspirations. Here’s to embracing curiosity, finding awe in the everyday, and stepping forward with open hearts and grounded souls.

Education & Training

Spiritual Development Studies Degree

My work draws from a multidisciplinary foundation in English, Psychology, Philosophy, and World Religions. My studies explored the interconnectedness of spirituality, self-development, science, mysticism, and consciousness, aiming to blend these disciplines into a holistic approach for personal growth. With a passion for translating abstract concepts into concrete, relatable terms, I honed my skills in creative writing and storytelling to share these insights in ways that inspire transformation.

Reiki II Training

My training as a Reiki II practitioner, under Brian Brunius at the NYC Reiki Center, deepened my understanding of energy work and the transference of energy between individuals. This practice helps me recognize how the interplay of energies can uplift or hinder not only individuals but entire communities. This insight integrates seamlessly into my other tools, like tarot and psychology, creating a comprehensive framework for healing and growth

Tarot Advisor Training

As a certified Biddy Tarot Advisor since 2021, tarot has become an integral part of my toolkit, specializing in intuitive and therapeutic readings. I view tarot as a bridge between the symbolic and the personal, offering a lens to explore the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and philosophy. Each reading is an opportunity to guide others toward clarity, healing, and empowerment.

Nonfiction Writing Degree

My background in nonfiction writing adds a unique layer to my work. I have a knack for translating complex spiritual and philosophical concepts into engaging narratives that resonate deeply. My writing centers on themes of spiritual development through the interconnectedness of spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and art, aiming to spark curiosity and foster growth in readers.
