“The sense of ‘calm’ my body had within 15 minutes of starting this class was amazing; the sense of calm after the class was surreal! On top of this, Dana gives you the knowledge and tools to be able to give yourself this feeling on your own after the class. Highly, highly recommend taking her workshop!”

“I recently attended a fascial release workshop in Penticton with Dana. I appreciate Dana’s knowledge on fascial release and her ability to convey the information in an easy to understand format. I highly recommend Dana’s workshop to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of fascial release. The techniques I learned in the workshop are translating into improved range of motion, and improvements in stiffness/tightness in my muscles. Thank you Dana!”

“A couple of friends and I took Dana’s Facial Release workshop this past spring. This was not the first workshop I had done as I find continued value in attending Dana’s workshops. I always learn something new. Tension and body aches were released during the class and we all commented on how much better we felt! Dana is excellent at explaining how everything is connected and addressing individual needs. I continue to use the tools and methods that I learned in this workshop in my daily life and take my Tune Up balls with me wherever I go. This is a fabulous way to take self care to the next level!”

“I cannot find a better word to describe my full-body physio-ball session, with Dana from Proactive Pickleball, than transformative! My body, which is always sore, was sore no more. It was a euphoric feeling to be released from muscle pain and discomfort that had been around for many months. Thank you Proactive Pickleball. I can move and bend again!”

“I saw Dana for a chronic issue in my forearm caused by repetitive movements at work. The issue was originally assessed by my doctor as carpal tunnel syndrome and I had to go off work to await testing. After just a few sessions with Dana, I regained mobility in my arm and was pain free. Dana saved me from having to go through painful tests and I was able to return to work earlier than anticipated. I cannot recommend Dana enough!”

Jodi
“I have been seeing Dana at ProActive Pilates for the last 5 years to address issues I experience with my core and back. Dana thoroughly evaluates my body each time I see her and designs treatment plans to attend to my issues. In recent years the fascial release work Dana has introduced me to has significantly improved the misalignments in my body that cause chronic pain and mobility issues. Whenever I feel my back getting bad, Dana is my first call. After seeing her for a fascial release session, I feel balanced, flexible and pain free. Dana is exceptional to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Dana is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and makes you feel at ease. I suffer from neck and lower back problems and she really takes the time and energy to ensure a fast recovery. After several Stretch Therapy sessions, I am able to continue working and doing what I love, and for that, I am truly thankful and highly recommend her. ”
