About our Founder: Dana

Combine a deep-understanding of human anatomy and kinesiology + a wisdom-infused knowledge of nutrition and intense passion for helping people, and you end up with Dana Ketter. She can help guide you as to what to put in your body and how to make it work better. You deserve what works!

Understanding with Experience

For more than nine years, Dana has worked with people from all walks of life: children to 80-somethings, former professional athletes to beginner runners to want-to-be-fitters.

Dana is well-versed in gut-health, hormone balance, prenatal/postnatal nutrients and recovery, main-stream diet trends, and so much more. She can bring understanding to help restore gut and hormonal balance, prepare for pregnancy and postpartum, help uncover real-causes for bloating and yo-yo weight fluctuations and is here to help you live beyond the health trials: to live fully in the freedom that is a nourished lifestyle.

She has recovered from three cesarean deliveries, initiated necessary testing for and discovered a 24-month long hidden uterine/gut infection and successfully eradicated it and healed her body. She has gone through years of personal therapy for hip / other injuries related to athletics and hyper-mobility. She has worked with several pre-and-post surgery clients and even helped some avoid surgery through therapeutic personal training. She is well-versed in alternative exercises to help target any muscle, while working around an injury.

Dana

I'm so glad you're here. I sincerely want for you what I've helped so many others stretch to find, work hard for, and come to enjoy: freedom in wellness.

Because you deserve it!

Here's a bit more about me: I'm a passionate yet friendly face, who inspires and connects with a variety of individuals, helping them to achieve their personal potential. I'm also a mother of three. Ladies: I understand the myriad of highs-and-lows around pregnancy and postpartum. We need support and I'm here for you!

I earned my Masters in Nutrition, Healthspan and Longevity through the University of Southern California, including over 1200 hours of supervised clinical practice in four different states.

I completed pre-medicine coursework with a BA in Architecture at the University of Washington before beginning my first career - in architecture. I enjoy being a musician/singer-songwriter/National Anthem performer for professional teams around the country. I authored and illustrated my first children's book in 2016: "The World Needs Just You", available on Amazon.

My background is unique but my artistic passion and thirst for understanding how things work have always been at the heart of my endeavors. I thrive in incorporating my curiosity and passion for details into functional nutrition therapy and physical fitness. My aim is to help people learn and incorporate the building blocks necessary to live healthier/happier lives for the long-run and enjoy the freedom that optimal health brings.
