The Balanced Baseline Method
At the center of Soma & Self is The Balanced Baseline Method — a mind-body framework designed to help you understand your internal stress load, reconnect with your body, and create a steadier baseline to return to.
The method uses a unique blend of nervous system education, somatic practice, self-inquiry, and aligned action.
Welcome to Soma & Self,
I’m Dana.
I developed The Balanced Baseline Method because I know what it feels like to be stressed, anxious, stuck in your head, disconnected from your body, and trying hard to figure yourself out. I also know what it feels like to experience relief.
For a long time, I thought change came from thinking harder, gripping tighter, or doing more. What I’ve learned is that lasting change often begins more simply: by getting to know yourself more deeply, reconnecting with your body, and learning how to meet yourself with more awareness, curiosity, courage, and intention.
After years of developing this work through my own healing, study, practice, and client work, The Balanced Baseline Method became the foundation for Soma & Self - home for it’s mind-body resources, courses, coaching, events, and practices.
My hope is that Soma & Self, along with its signature method, helps you feel less stuck and stressed and more like you finally have the language, tools, understanding, and support to come back to yourself, again and again.
What Others Have To Say
“What surprised me most is how every area of my life has been impacted, from the way I handle challenges, to how I show up for myself every day. I’ve developed a healthier, more balanced approach to things that I know will stay with me long-term.”
“…Dana helped me reconnect with myself in a way I didn’t expect, nor even realized I needed. I’m incredibly grateful for the work she does. This experience has truly been transformative, and I would absolutely, without a doubt, highly recommend it to anyone looking to create meaningful change in their life.”
“…but then something clicked. I didn’t even realize I was doing it at first, but it honestly felt like a switch went off, and I suddenly began to notice real changes in how I think, respond, and move through life.”
“I notice such a difference when I stop doing the (somatic) exercises. I start to break out and feel so overwhelmed.”
“I have been feeling so much better, I feel happier!”
“I did some of the (somatic) exercises you taught me during a panic attack before bed. My panic and anxiety went away and I was able to fall right to sleep”
