Hi I'm Dana!

Getting my cortisol under control changed my life.

When my fit husband died at forty from a cancerous tumor with little to no symptoms, it left stress to blame and lots of questions to be answered. I listened as he took his last breath, walked out of the hospital and straight into living in a state of complete overwhelm that quickly turned into high-functioning anxiety. I was never calm. My nervous system was instantly wrecked, as I began living in a constant state of fight-or-flight.
