Dauna completed the 520 hour Professional Massage Training Program at the The Baltimore School of Massage in 2001. She passed the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and is Certified and Licensed by the State of Maryland Department of Health.
Dauna also became a certified yoga instructor in 2007 after attending the Yoga Center of Columbia Teacher Training Program. Many patients add yoga or other stretching techniques to their massage session to help promote further range of motion and reduced discomfort.
Dauna has the personal experience of undergoing several major surgeries including rotator cuff surgeries, laminectomies, and lumbar spinal fusions. Having experienced the trauma and recovery of these surgeries brings a true understanding of the process her patients go through when coming for treatment after surgery.
Being a member of several adult soccer teams for over 25 years Dauna brings an understanding of how bodywork can help relieve the soreness and stiffness for athletes and help to speed up the healing process.
As much as possible, Dauna enjoys traveling near and far so don't be surprised if she disappears for a long weekend or a few weeks. When home a good book is the next best thing.
