Dayna Tietzen
Dayna is a graduate of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine Academy in Toronto, Ontario. Prior to her career in wellness she spent 20 years as a professional dancer, singer, actor and puppeteer working at venues across, Canada, North America and around the world. From the age of 5 when she began training in Ballet she asked a lot of her body and mind, always challenging herself and pursuing ambitious goals. It wasn’t until her early thirties that she started to notice that her body and mental health were paying a cost. She discovered Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in her personal journey of healing and recovery and often wishes that she had found this powerful medicine earlier in her life. What she didn’t have to support her during the mental, physical and emotional strain of a highly competitive career, she now offers in her practice. She brings a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in elite performance and sport and of the value of balance and nourishing ourselves as we pursue our goals. Dayna currently enjoys hiking, dancing, skiing, yoga, swimming, running and the humbling experience of playing on roller-skates. Tending to have a calming and grounding effect on people, she creates a safe place in her treatments that is a calm respite from the rapid, relentless motion of our modern lives.
