Client Reviews & Testimonials

Dana is a lifesaver for movement problem solving — if you follow her coaching, listen to her knowledge-based advice, and practice between sessions. I am in my 80’s, with multiple health-related movement issues…..and I am still walking! Dana has been guiding me for 12 years now and I would recommend her without hesitation! She works very hard behind the scenes to gain more knowledge and practice in order to provide the best personal care for her clients.

I highly recommend Dana Wyss for anyone that needs to keep in good shape and good health. Her extensive knowledge of the body and how to move it well is amazing. I am 73 years old and every week I gain new knowledge from her about how to keep my body without pain and in good shape. In a pleasant addition, Dana is very caring, personable, and calm. I am very grateful for her presence in my life.

Dana has helped me increase my strength, unwind my stresses, and learn how to better care for my body. With her help, I am stronger and more pain-free today than I was 20 years ago. She is patient, calm, and supportive, offers clear instructions and modifications when necessary, and is always pleasant and enjoyable. I look forward to every session with Dana!

I have worked with Dana for years. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy, movement, and nutrition. With years of experience under her belt, she can help you with a myriad of issues whether you are an athlete, recovering from an injury, or just trying to find comfort within your own body. I give Dana my highest recommendation! 

I have been meeting with Dana weekly via Zoom to address balance/mobility issues related to back problems. I have found her to be quite skillful at identifying the particular physical/muscular causes of one's problem and prescribing exercises and practices to address them. She guides you in getting in touch with your body, and, very importantly, serves as a positive coach/mentor on your journey to improvement. I wholeheartedly recommend Dana because of her knowledge, experience, and skill in dealing with the body's movements -- talents that go hand-in-hand with her preparedness, professionalism, kindness, and positivity. She really cares.

Dana is such a wonderful source of support, education, and healing. I have been taking her classes for the last 5-6 years. Her way of honoring what is happening in our bodies, helping us to pay attention to subtle shifts, and encouraging just the right amount of challenge and rest is deeply nourishing. We work on strengthening muscles that are underworking, relaxing those that are overworking, and restoring many layers of balance in general. Her guided meditations are a balm for stressed nervous systems. She brings her vast knowledge of anatomy and physiology, along with compassion and personal attention, to every class.

I've worked with Dana for years, and she is attentive, insightful, deeply informed, compassionate, and smart af. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 

It was informative, relaxing, and practical. She led us in techniques that we were able to implement right away. Dana is awesome!

I have been taking Dana's Move Well Sessions for several weeks. I am thrilled at the results I am seeing and experiencing. I have greater strength and flexibility. I have greater awareness of how to move and use my body to do things in ways that don't injure me. She is a very gifted and knowledgeable teacher and a problem solver. I can't recommend her and her sessions highly enough.

Dana has a way of meeting anyone where they are, over zoom. She is so knowledgeable about body movement large and small and has helped me heal injuries and regain limited mobility I thought I had lost for good. Her kind, warm, inspiring attitude is a wonderful part of my day. Every session is both joyous and strenuous in the best way. 

A great professional and knowledgeable to be sure, but also an excellent advisor/teacher on holistic and well-being strategies and just a fantastic, empathetic, caring human being you just feel good to be around. We need more people like Dana on this planet.

Gifted healer, highly recommended
Dana provided guidance on stretches, movements, and postures that will allow me to take better care of my body on a daily basis. She is a very present, intuitive, and compassionate healer, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking greater well-being. 

I have been working with Dana Wyss for 5 years now, transitioning from in-person to online (after COVID) and the transition has been seamless due to Dana's amazing ability to really see a person via the computer. It really is as if you are working with her in person EVERY session. She can help monitor your progression and adjust the session to your specific needs, giving feedback on your exercise, stretches and posture. She can tell when you may be struggling and need a modification. And she does all of this with the most nurturing, professional, and compassionate tone and suggestions. I have worked with a lot of different therapists and trainers over the years and Dana is by far the best. She has an excellent grasp of anatomy in general and understands a multitude of conditions, both medical and orthopedic. Lastly, she is always a ray of sunshine full of positive and nurturing spirit who helps energize and support me through very long caregiving days. I am grateful to Dana for making my life much better - physically, emotionally, and mentally. 

Been working with Dana for a long time, the past 5 years over Zoom. She's always been very flexible, always picks up on time, and has cancelled on me maybe once or twice in all that time. She will work to help you achieve what you want: strength, flexibility, or just a time to relax. She keeps up to date and has useful advice regarding exercises and recovery. I've gotten good sets of stretches I work into my gym routine. She can (even mid-session) adjust to accommodate your aches, injuries, level of fatigue and skill. She also tolerates my dogs stopping by to "help" me pose by licking my face or barking like crazy to warn me of an approaching Amazon delivery. Or a delivery next door, random people walking down the street, the occasional squirrel...
Anyway, I think she's great and definitely worth your trying out her services.

Move Well Sessions -- nothing better!
I have been feeling great since working with Dana. She facilitates a meditative exploration of what's happening in one's body--mainly through stretches and gentle movements. You gain self-awareness and knowledge that go deeper and last longer than someone telling you what's "wrong" with you and then "fixing" you. Dana's approach lacks the judgment of such an overbearing method, and instead allows for exploration and camaraderie. It works. She eliminated my back pain in 3 sessions.

Continues to amaze
I have been seeing Dana regularly for a number of years. She has been my go to help with injuries, wellness routines, and chronic muscular pain. She not only cures my muscle aches and pains but astonishes me with her knowledge of the body and how the muscles work or don't work on it. This knowledge gives to me information that helps maintain the healing work she performs and break old habits of bad posture, gait, and muscle use. 

The Absolute Best!
I have experienced therapy in many countries and by far Dana is the best. Her work is also her avocation. She has helped me get rid of pain, work towards keeping it away and worked towards whole body awareness. She has taught my "mind's eye" to see and helped me send my breath to places it did not know it could go! 

Dana is amazing!
Dana never fails to pinpoint exactly what I need every time. She is extremely knowledgeable and applies it to every session. I have been seeing her for a few years and she never fails to leave me impressed. And completely relaxed.

Body therapy + some...
There are few things I enjoy more than having a session with Dana. Regular sessions + advice on movement etc. have brought me to a pain-free neck (this is huge -- I've been in pain for years) and a continually improving lower back. I so appreciate everything Dana has done for me. Life changing...really! 

Dana is the best...every time i feel refreshed and ready to take on the week! Shes very knowledgeable and can give you great tips on things to do to help yourself on a daily basis at home. Just pure joy every visit!

I am a standard gym rat and decided to change things up and incorporate stretching and meditation into my routine. Dana is incredibly patient, understanding, and detail oriented. She works around my limitations but encourages me to better understand my body and how it’s components work in harmony. I’m very impressed. 

Dana helped me adjust several yoga postures so that I can build a solid foundation for my practice. It is clear that Dana's knowledge base is extensive and I felt in very competent hands. Her gentle kindness made the learning environment comfortable and joyful. Her session follow up was thorough and generous. Very impressed and happy with Dana's service! 

Dana has a very warm spirit about her. She listens very well so she can understand what your body is telling you. She doesn't hesitate to ask questions along the way to make sure your experience is what you need. I would highly recommend her. 

Get Nurtured!
Dana is both highly skilled and deeply compassionate, a wonderful combination. If you are in need of pain relief, stress relief, nurturing, or just plain ol' fixing, I highly recommend. 

Dana works with intention. She gives her clients thoughtful and deliberate attention. She works through inquiry and then proceeds to use her professional knowledge and skills to target her client's needs. 

Excellent, as usual
Dana's commitment to continuous improvement translates into an experience that just gets better over time. She keeps this arthritic person moving!

From my first Move Well session with Dana I have noticed I am more aware of how I am standing or sitting, and make the gentle adjustments she taught me. I notice more strength and stability as I practice the exercises she suggested to build a strong foundation in my body. Her knowledge of the body and movement, together with her excellent communication skills were so helpful and truly impressive. I also felt calmer after the session and after I do the exercises she taught me. 

My teenage boys, who are both athletes, did separate online movement sessions with Dana. Not only was she able to pinpoint why they were having the pain and limitations that they were, but she was also able to give them exercises to do. After both of them followed the protocol, the tightness and pain subsided. 

Great Classes!
Thanks so much for continuing the classes, it very much helps with enhancing life. It has been a comfort through trying times, and also recently, surprisingly, in recognizing joy?!! I continue to learn more about the resilience of my own body.

I highly recommend Dana. She developed an exercise routine for me that is tailored to the needs of my body. Dana has a calming presence and she has an in-depth knowledge of the mechanics of the human body! Seeing her is a wonderful way to treat yourself to something special.

She was able to alleviate much of my pain all while making sure I was comfortable. I immediately booked a second session and cannot wait! Thank you, Dana!

She truly cares about your well-being and is a joy to work with.

I am so hopeful now. Had my first session with Dana yesterday, and she was both incredibly caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. I feel really hopeful about healing some shoulder pain, through a combination of exercises she gave me to do at home, and some brain retraining about how I move my shoulders. THANK YOU Dana, I look forward to our follow up!

She has helped alleviate discomforts such as mid-back pain, numbness in my right quad and very painful sciatic nerve compression. She took the time to share with me ways to sleep and stretch that would continue to help these discomforts. It is so nice to be able to enjoy nature walks with my dogs now that I am this far along in pregnancy. I would recommend Dana. 

She has helped me immensely with her healing practice during the lowest times of my life. She has a deep kindness, gentleness and supportiveness that I really have never experienced with any other person-and I have tried many! Please check her out and/or forward her info to any one who might benefit from her work. She will be the one person I will continue to go back to throughout my life. 

Before getting to Dana, I've seen several other people, but was truly never happy after the sessions...until I found Dana. She has helped me re-balance and get the energy and peace I need in order to keep moving forward. She is the best!

Dana is amazing! I came with a ache that had plagued me for weeks and left feeling absolutely restored. She has an absolutely intuitive way of getting right to the heart (err, shoulder) of the problem. Already booked a follow up! 

I had my first session with Dana last week & have already scheduled my next appointment. She does a great job, one of the best things I ever did for myself. Have had back & neck problems for years, already feel better.

Dana has a naturally calming presence and the work we did was deeply restorative, leaving me feeling very relaxed in my body for days afterwards. She was also very knowledgeable about the issues I came in with. I highly recommend working with her!
