Biography for Dana Bagdasarian, CMH

I began my professional career as a high school Social Studies teacher and educational software business owner, which provided many opportunities to help my students achieve their goals. When my two children were born, I was lucky to be able to focus on them full time, volunteering in many capacities as they grew older.

I have a BA in Philosophy, with Minors in Political Science and Women’s Studies from Sonoma State University; a Secondary Social Studies Teaching Certificate from Western Colorado University; and a Masters in American Studies from Pepperdine University.

​I am also a Certified Master Hypnotist, Mental Welfare Coach, EFT Practitioner, and Kinetic Shift Practitioner. I have certifications from 4 schools: HMI College of Hypnotherapy, The Priority Institute, Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy, and Hypnotic MasterMinds. Additionally, during my studies, I took specialized courses in Mirroring Hands, PTSD, Healing the Inner Child, Insomnia and Sleep Disorders, Anxieties and Fears, and EFT. I am always taking classes to expand my knowledge!

I specialize in trauma release, stress management, self love, and accountability coaching. I work with children, adults, and groups. I am available for corporate wellness as well as speaking events. Please schedule a discovery call to see if we're a good fit.

Experience

I have been working with clients virtually since 2022 and opened my brick and mortar business in Manhattan Beach, California in 2024. I have worked with athletes for sports performance and blocks, trauma releases for clients of all ages, helped clients with body image issues, inner child, PTSD, fears and phobias, but what underlies all sessions is deepening the relationship with self and loving all parts, even the hardest to embrace.
