Hey, I’m Dana!
FOLK SINGER-SONGWRITER &
FOUNDER OF THE POETRY APOTHECARY
I write songs + poems that bring me back to myself — and help others to do the same.
I believe creativity is a rebellion and a return. A way to shed what no longer fits and step fully into who you’ve always been.
I believe words are powerful and your desired reality is just waiting for you to pick up the pen.
Let’s come alive together.

WRITE YOURSELF BACK TO LIFE
The Poetry Apothecary is a creative sanctuary & community where creative writing becomes a tool for self-trust, empowerment, and conscious creation.
about my music
Inspired by artists like Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, Adrianne Lenker and Fleetwood Mac, I aim to write songs dripping with authenticity and instantly-relatable lyrics.
This same vibe underpins my writing workshops—where you’re invited to write and connect to yourself and gather with other badass women to alchemize your story and your truth into something beautiful.
how songs save us
I truly believe that songwriting has saved my life.
When we write songs from the heart, we give voice to every part of us — even the ones we’ve tried to silence, shame, or hide.
In the video below, I share how songwriting became a huge part of my path to healing my broken heart through Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a therapeutic way of meeting the many inner parts of ourselves with compassion, creativity, and truth.
When we write, we don’t just express. We integrate.
We gather our “broken” pieces and remember our wholeness.
