Riding the Waves

Hello Savannah! Welcome to Soul Waves Studio!

I am Dana Danielson, owner and founder. I am a native of the Savannah area. This business concept of “connecting the community around wellness,” has been a long-time desire and vision. Even with the setbacks of the world’s “great pause” my vision remains strong although it’s shifting into some new variation.

The original mission was to offer people of the community ways to connect with holistic and wellness practitioners …. all under one roof.

Unfortunately, that version of the business did not survive the pandemic. In 2022, I had to downsize and move to a smaller space.

Actually I had to downsize a couple of times and now it is just me, one room, and my 1:1 practice. Sort of!

My current mission is to continue 1:1 Client Work while creating Wellness Workshops and Classes throughout the community.

And as time and resources allow, I will expand the business in some form to support and connect our community of Wellness Practitioners with the people who are seeking holistic ways to Feel Good!

ABOUT ME

I am an Artist, Seeker of Truth, Dancing Fool, Nature Mama, Healer, Connector, Prince Fan, and more.

My roots are deeply southern. My soul is most alive on the dance floor. My heart is tender and also strong. My time alone (at home) is essential and yet I also thrive in true connection with partners and community.

I come from love. I am devoted. I am here to share my gifts.

I’ve worked in the corporate world as a photographer, and in the arts and art education. And now as an entrepreneur I strive to create an offering that blends my gifts in the healing arts and my deep passion for community.

I studied art in college. I studied Esalen Massage at Esalen Institute and Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute. I am a certified teacher of the Gabrielle Roth 5Rhythms and have studied this with Gabrielle and with many teachers for 25 years now.

I’m currently studying Sacred Contracts and Archetypal Consulting with the Caroline Myss group.

MY GIFTS | MY MESSAGE

My gift is to help others find their way to a deep place of Inner-Calm and Inner-Knowing. Through different methods I support clients along this path of awareness and embodiment.

That’s all to say, I help others to slow down and listen. To feel into the moment and to allow “Whatever Is” to be fully felt and experienced. And perhaps even embraced. In this place of allowing and acceptance is where the real shifts begin. This is where the healing happens.

MY CURRENT OFFERINGS

I am offering 1:1 Sessions and Group Classes. My 1:1 work is in Craniosacral Therapy - with a bit of massage - as well as 5Rhythms and perhaps a blend of these things. I teach group classes in 5Rhythms and I’m currently brewing some other exciting classes!

I will also be working with other teachers to share their offerings in our community. So explore my website and stay in touch as there’s a lot yet to come!

WHO IS MY CLIENT?

Are you ready to slow down the chaotic ride? Do you want to feel calm and present in more of your life? Are you seeking relief from chronic pain? Are you craving authentic connections and an open heart? Do you find yourself wondering: “Who am I and what am I really here to do?”

If any of this rings true for you, then it might be time for us to work together. This could be in a group class or perhaps a 1:1 session.

WHY DO THIS WORK?

When we learn to slow the frenetic pace of our life, we make room for the deepest essentials to come through. We calm the waters enough to really listen and to trust our Inner Knowing. From this place, our Soul Waves can ripple out. 

To have a new outlook on your healing path is to be open to new patterns and perspectives about what your healing journey might really look like.

It sounds crazy but as soon as we realize, there IS nothing to fix, something deep within shifts. We realize that our healing path is right below our feet.

It’s an individual journey for sure. And we have to get really dedicated to studying the map and looking for the road signs. This is what Soul Waves Studio is here to help you do.
