About Dana

Dana Emmings began studying natural therapies at a young age and came to Ayurveda in 1991. She always believed the body could naturally heal itself if given the right internal and external environment.

After completing a degree in Finance in 1995, Dana pursued her education in conventional medicine and worked in an emergency department. She soon realized people were not fully healing and pursued her passion of Ayurveda.

Dana became recognized as a Professional Ayurveda Practitioner in 2009 from the National Ayurveda Medical Association. Dana has developed specialized mastery under her mentors of Ayurveda developing skills in Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Assessment), Panchakarma (Cleansing & Rejuvenation Science) and Women’s Health. Her Ayurveda clinic, Sacred Life Ayurveda was opened in 2009 and has been a continued resource and healing center for the community.

Testimonials

Dana has helped me to understand my body’s reaction to deep emotions. I came with a skin rash and this constant reappearance of them. Just the first visit with Dana and things were improving. I took the recommended herbs and felt results quickly. Every visit she offered a piece of advice that worked for me; just small things that I was able to put into my daily life, and I saw changes. I feel she can see me clearly and has been so helpful. She has excellent knowledge of the Ayurvedic way of life – the science of life. I hope to continue to heal with her guidance and find my way to freedom.

 I love that Dana takes the time to explain the items she recommends for me to try and the reasons for them. She offers a sacred space where I feel safe to share personal struggles and how they might be manifesting in my body. It’s a journey and I’m more empowered through my work with her.

I can’t express enough how transformative my experience with Sacred Life Ayurveda has been. Dana’s personalized approach made all the difference. She offered recommendations tailored to my unique needs and shared simple diet and lifestyle changes that were easy to incorporate into my daily routine. From the moment I began my sessions, I noticed a profound shift in my overall health and well-being. The herbal treatments, diet adjustments and common-sense approach alleviated digestive issues and chronic inflammation and restored my energy levels.

My panchakarma experience was equally rewarding. Dana made me feel at ease and supported throughout the process. The detoxifying therapies and nourishing treatments released years of accumulated stress and toxins, leaving me incredibly relaxed, grounded and balanced. Things I didn’t think were achievable with my hectic lifestyle. It was beneficial both physically and spiritually.

Working with Dana has been life-changing for me. I feel equipped to enter each stage of life with the tools and knowledge to stay healthy and disease-free. I’m grateful for the incredible benefits Dana and Ayurveda have brought into my life.
