Whereas most licensed aestheticians specialize in the beautification of the skin, Dana has dedicated her life to a more holistic approach which embodies both cosmetic with a dose of energy work, allowing spirit to do its job and magnify oneโs true inner beauty on the outside. Dana believes in the power of human touch--in addition to facials & wellness rituals rooted in Eastern tradition (i.e. cupping and guasha), her philosophy is to incorporate Reiki, sound healing, & breathwork alongside other modalities that ease stress (the ultimate skin killer). This practice of merging licensed procedures with mindfulness is the cornerstone of her work. Born in Michigan, Dana was raised around the family business of a beauty salon, however she instinctually gravitated to skincare early on. Packing her bags at 20 years old, she moved to the West Coast and quickly immersed herself in the fashion and film industry as a makeup artist. Working on a myriad on skin types and lifestyles, she discovered that external makeup is only half the formula for true beauty. After pursuing aesthetic licenses to improve skincare even further she worked as lead aesthetician at Vera Bella Skin Therapy in Beverly Hills, there was still a missing link, which catapulted her into a soul-searching mission of energy work. Dana since has become a certified Reiki Practitioner, Sound Healer, Breathwork and Meditation Facilitator. The result? Her own brand, Methods + Rituals was born with a like-minded partner. Having worked as a cosmetic buyer for several e-com retailers Dana brings a solid understanding of global trends within the industry. Today Dana is evangelizing her philosophy of perfecting skin and soul from Joshua Tree, California. She lives with her husband and two dogs, Pickles and Penelope, while servicing private clients in the high desert, performing sacred rituals under the moon and stars, as she grows her business to new heights.
