"My work with Dana during my first pregnancy has been exceptionally healing. After spending years in traditional talk therapy and finally hitting a wall, I was looking for a somatic healer. While doing inner child work on my own during the pandemic- I could feel that there was embodied trauma that I wasn’t able to move through from my own childhood and birth. I knew I wanted to deepen the process of healing before my daughter was born, and Dana was a perfect fit for this. Her somatic healing allowed me to access and communicate with my inner child in ways that I didn’t think were possible. My work with her has been a beautiful healing process, and I was even able to communicate and receive messages from my unborn daughter in our sessions- which was such a blessing, and offered me a newfound sense of trust in my process with her. As I near the end of my pregnancy, I feel so much more settled and at ease knowing that I’ve done this deep work for both myself and for my daughter. Dana is true light worker, and I’m so grateful I found her."

“I had a wonderful birth trauma healing session with Dana a few months back. Through the session I was able to identify what was blocking me from healing the relationship with my own mother, which in turn is allowing me to heal the relationship to myself as an individual and as a mother. It has catapulted me to let my previous trauma go and to create more joy in the relationship I have with my 9 year old son. The space and energy that Dana provides is so calming, accepting and grounding to the nervous system, emotions, spirit and to the mind and body. I highly recommend working with Dana as a birth worker, to heal from your previous birth experiences, your own birth, or to prepare for conception & birth.”

"So much to say. I have dealt with a good amount of health problems throughout my life, and the compilation of living with all of them, no matter how seemingly simple, is exhausting- for me, my family and for the health care professionals who help me. So I had no idea what to expect from Dana's work, but I knew immediately that going to see her was the right decision. Immediately on entering her office, you're met with the most loving, warm and welcoming energy. When we sat down to do my intake, I defaulted to my go-to, which is me feeling extremely apologetic for my myriad health problems, but Dana listened with patience and the open heart I've since learned is her trademark, and asked me to be kind and patient with myself in turn. It's difficult to explain what ensued as somatic healing is different for everyone, but it was one of the most cleansing experiences I've ever undergone. Dana helped me to draw a connection between three of my most painful health problems, and she worked so hard to make sure that we went to the root of the issue during our session. Dana is the kind of practitioner who truly cares about her clients, and does her utmost to help them. I have been recommending her to everyone I can, but in the meantime you should 100% book with her!!!! A million hugs to you, Dana!"

"I am new to Craniosacral and Somatic Healing methods but I have to say that finding Dana has been such a blessing to me. When I contacted Dana through the Yelp! app she was very prompt in replying and worked with me to set up my first appointment. She very kindly sent me an intake form by email so I could take my time to fill it out and return it to her prior to our first meeting. She took time to explain her methods and walked me through what would happen during our time together which helped ease my mind. Dana was patient, kind and attentive.
Dana took time to listen to me, to ask questions about my journey, and to continue to communicate with me throughout our session to make sure she addressed all of my concerns. Her combination of energy and, craniosacral work along with personal conversation has help me become more attuned to my mind - body connection and moved me forward in my mental and physical wellness. Blessing to you Dana"

“Dana is absolutely wonderful! She is truly a healer! I came to Dana with chronic pain in my back and left knee from surgery years ago. Dana worked on me for 75 mins using somatic healing tools, meditation, and inner child work. When I was finished with my session, the pain in my back and knee that had been bothering me for weeks had disappeared and I felt completely renewed and unwound both within my body and mind. My entire psyche felt different after my session and I achieved a level of peace, relaxation, and mind-body grounding that stayed with me for days after I left the office!
Dana is very patient, gentle, and takes the time to listen to your concerns and needs. She takes the time to work on you and truly cares about helping her patients. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone, even if you don't have chronic pain! Her work can benefit your physical and mental well-being in so many ways! Invest in yourself and visit Dana, you won't regret it!”

‘The results speak for themselves: after my first session, the issues I was having with liver stagnation disappeared and I was able to stop taking expensive supplements. My endocrine and hormonal systems have been major issues my entire life. In the past two months of seeing Dana, my menstrual cycle regulated and allergy symptoms stopped. After a session focused on my thyroid, I’ve experienced consistent energy, sleep, and for the first time in a long time, it’s actually a joy to move in my body.
The sessions are relaxing and centering. Dana has a lovely way of making you feel safe, welcome, and calm. The moment you enter the office, it feels like you’re in the experience together. She’s very intuitive and empathetic. The treatments feel gentle, and they are extremely powerful. I feel lucky to have had sessions with Dana. It’s an incredible experience and the results are irrefutable!”

"I recently had my first session with Dana, a deeply sensitive, intuitive, gentle yet powerful practitioner. She immediately located the underlying energetic source of the chronic pain and swelling of an old injury I hadn't been able to heal. One week later, the pain and swelling were completely gone. I left the session feeling expanded and nurtured on a soul level. I'm ready to book my next appointment!"

“Hi Dana, I just wanted to thank you so very much for the wonderful in person session. I recently met with my nutrition response practitioner and she said my birth trauma isn't even registering anymore! If you remember it went from 1000 to 400 from our first session and now down to 0. You truly have a gift for this work and I cannot thank you enough!!”
Olaf Hartmann
"It seems to me that Dana's own journey of healing her body has opened up doorways in her understanding of how energy works and how to facilitate a deep authentic healing process for others. The space she holds is loving, clear and allows for deeply held trauma in the tissue to surface and to be released. I highly recommend working with her."

"I highly recommend Dana. I've had 3-4 sessions and have made this part of my weekly ritual to get ready for a busy work week ahead. Dana's sessions are very nurturing, healing and centering. I feel a sense of renewed energy and peacefulness after each session. I'm sleeping better, approaching my week in a more thoughtful way and spending less time focused on the stress of busy hectic week ahead. Try this!"

“I did one session with Dana and my chronic back pain went away! Her session brought me into my body/subconscious so deeply—I hadn’t felt that way in so long, and I was craving/needing that at that point in my life. I saw immediate results in my relationships when I worked with Dana; worked through a challenging relationship I had, and manifesting a new one way more aligned. I quickly realized my clients needed her work as well and she has now made a huge impact supporting them with their dreams as well. I highly recommend Dana’s work if you care about manifesting and healing from your most authentic self. Absolutely great work!"

“Dana played an integral role in my prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey. From the first time we met I felt comforted by her calm, grounded energy. I appreciated Dana's herb, recipe, and meditation recommendations, as well as her somatic, mind-body approach to pregnancy. After receiving two beautiful craniosacral sessions from her, I felt her touch was intuitive and supportive, and allowed me to connect to my baby in profound ways.
My birth experience would not have been the same without her. She immediately brought positive and encouraging vibes into the birthing suite upon her arrival. I knew I was in healing hands, and that my partner would be able to get support as well. Dana had her hands on me, massaging, soothing, and assisting me, my entire labor. When contractions got intense, she encouraged my natural response and allowed me to go deeper into my animalistic mode. I feel strongly that I did not need an epidural because of her support.
Her care continued during our postpartum visit, where she treated me to an Ayurvedic oil massage, which gave me time to reflect and deeply rest. I am grateful for all of Dana's hands on body work, Ayurvedic knowledge, and intuitive healing.”

“Dana has a true gift for this work and our session helped me discover connections from my birth that led me to have compassion for my own experience now as an adult. During our time together, I explained how I was separated from my mother at birth for 4 days, a common practice in the former Soviet Union, and much later when we were discussing my typical emotional responses and I stated that I found myself to be upset over most situations for 4 days, Dana helped make that critical connection with the birth separation. She then guided me through the practice of healing those wounds in craniosacral therapy.
I can't recommend her sessions enough as her knowledge around birth is valuable beyond words! I also recommend working with her to anyone who is looking to understand potential origins of unresolved health issues, which is what I have been experiencing for many years. After doing so much to heal my physical body, I came to Dana to help me heal on a deeper level with somatic work. Dana's approach is with a sense of calm and stability that is deeply healing in and of itself, and her space is a haven for feeling at peace.”

“I met with Dana Cusato for a birth regression session soon after my youngest baby was born. His arrival had been a truly blissful, painless, orgasmic freebirth, but I recognized in processing it with Dana, that the ecstasy of the experience had brought up some fresh grief around my own traumatic birth and layers of unexamined feeling I’ve been carrying regarding my older kids’ births.
Dana guided me with gentleness, compassion, and dignity, through a journey of exploration that allowed me to acknowledge and integrate the connections between existing blocks and blindspots, and early separation wounds.
My session with Dana was an immensely powerful encounter and I know her wisdom and insight will reverberate for me as a mother and a seeker going forward. I highly recommend Dana’s work, especially for women preparing to give birth following trauma.”

“As a health coach and business owner, I’d already been doing a lot of deep internal work and healing with myself and other mindset coaches and therapies. During our session, doing this healing of my birth experience, I experienced some really foundation-shifting insights. I can't thank you enough for that, because it's changed the way I show up for my work, for my wife, and for myself. I also just had the biggest financial month of my life, because I was able to show up with next-level magnetism and confidence in my enrollment conversations as a coach.
I'd been skeptical of this kind of work before, but now the results have thrown away any reservations I had leftover. I'd highly recommend this work for any guys having trouble showing up authentically in the world, especially if you need to perform at high levels consistently for your workout and life! I didn't know one session could make such a huge difference, thank you for helping me heal and for bringing such insight to my life and experience. Thank you thank you thank you!”

"My rebirth session with Dana was exactly the medicine I needed. She was able to successfully guide me into such a beautiful space of release and surrender. I could actual see and feel so clearly where my blockage was and bring it to light. I was able to piece together how my state of being during birth had continued to play out throughout specific aspects of life. I want to thank Dana so much for this missing puzzle piece. This new awareness has already created shifts in my day to day life.
Dana's soothing manner and the way in which she is able to guide the inner world is such a special gift to this world. I would highly recommend her work to anyone wishing to venture into the birth realm."
Dr. Topaz Abbott
"I love working with Dana, she is very focused and intuitive and holds an amazingly clear space for healing to occur. I am in my sixties and have witnessed and experienced many healing modalities and many health practitioners. I have rarely found anyone who understands the healing process as well as Dana does. Whether I am dealing with physical problems or wish to take my health or my life to a new level Dana knows just how to facilitate me, and I leave her feeling relaxed and renewed.
If you are looking for a healer to help you shift your health on physical, mental or emotional level, she will move you forward gently and thoroughly. Dana is a healer in the truest sense of the word. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

“When I first met Dana, I was immediately drawn to work with her, but had some resistance that I did not know what it was. That’s when I knew I had to trust my feelings and follow through with just having an introductory phone session. After that call, I knew that Dana was going to make a huge impact in my life! And boy was I right. I had been hitting walls in different areas of my life specially when it came to personal romantic relationships. I cannot thank Dana enough for the work she does and changing my life! I highly recommend her to anyone that feels they want more out of life. She is so talented and is a true healer in every way! The way she cares about everyone and their success truly shows! Love you so much Dana, I am forever grateful to you and the work you do!”

“I began working with Dana in her group setting just a few months ago out of pure curiosity & desire to deepen my self-healing process. I didn’t know what to expect. Within one group session with Dana’s beautiful ability to hold space & facilitate healing, I released life long hidden trauma that was unknowingly affecting my romantic relationships & business. With her genuine care & support, I feel lighter & my business feels lighter & I’m growing with more ease. I’m so excited to see what comes next. Trust Dana 🤍”

“I had an amazing experience yesterday with Dana. We did Craniosacral, somatic work, and birth imprint healing. After diving deep into my past, she quickly got me to a place of peace. That sweet spot between being awake and falling into a tranquil floating space. I felt my body unwind in the most subtle and profound ways.”
