Elizabeth Pitcairn, CEO of Luzerne Music Center & Classical Violinist

Jack Morrash, tennis club owner & former CFO of PennEngineering

Ellen Burrows, former litigation & arbitration attorney and athlete

“Our work together has helped me to be a much better CEO and have a very efficient, friendly atmosphere at work with staff.  Musically, as touring has begun again you’ve helped me raise my playing to a whole new level that transcends anything I had done before; healed some past injuries, and brought out a new musical approach that I’ll be using for the next 20 years.”  Elizabeth Pitcairn

 “Caring goes with healing. So when you’re out there and you’re looking for help, it’s really important to keep that in mind. 

 When you combine Dayana’s tremendous quality for caring with her technical knowledge and ability to focus, what you have is just a very effective healer. And that’s what we want. That’s what we need.” 
John Morrash

“I learned techniques that allow me to maintain my lack of pain, maintain my ability to be more mobile, to be more active, without impingement…  After a while, I’d feel like the issues I was having there, start to creep in again. And I’d be like, “Oh, I know what to do.”  And I could do it, and it would put me back on an even keel, and then I could move forward.” Ellen Burrows

James Marciano

CEO & Founder

 

“About 15 years ago I broke my neck and I’ve been on this very long journey back trying to recover my health. And one of the things with breaking your neck is that you can have trouble at least for me with balance and walking. And since starting Feldenkrais with Dayana just a few weeks ago, I’ve started to get a better sense of my surroundings and more confidence in my movement. And in fact, last night, in my kitchen, I actually found myself smiling because I was moving with ease and with joy. And I was actually playing with the way my hips were and my knees were on my feet were and I haven’t done that in decades.”

Richard Jackson

Former Manager at ORACLE

“I have arthritis in my left shoulder. I’m retired but I’m very, very active. What Dayana taught me was how to think about my movements and how my movements were coordinated with simple things… learning how to think about reaching and turning your body. I’m now working in my shop and it’s not giving me as much pain. You just learn how to move your body in ways that prevent pain from occurring. It’s not like going to a chiropractor. It’s not like going to a physical therapist. It’s really quite different. And the main thing is it works. And it’s not complicated. It’s something that even an old person can learn how to do both.”

Kamal Ravikant, Venture Capitalist & Author

I’m recovering from a head injury and lately feeling lethargic with zero motivation. By the end of our first session, I was already planning out practical things to do in my head. And I’m standing taller, feeling more myself. And that’s just one intro session!
Thank you.
 

You want a successful business or career in a body that feels good
And the ability to stay out of pain no matter how the pressure

If you are like most of our clients, your talent and drive got you to the top. 

However, you may have noticed that no matter how much success you achieve, your business success doesn’t necessarily translate into your personal life. They seem to operate on a separate set of principles. 
 
If you have chronic pain, you may find yourself depending on pills or adjustments to get you out of pain, but soon you need them again.
 
This dependency circle is inconsistent with who you are, and how you like to get things done. 
You may have been looking for help already. Maybe you have tried physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, and personal training… 
While all these techniques are good and will give you temporary relief, there is a long-term solution available to you. 
 
A faster, reliable, and empowering solution that will free you from dependency on someone else to “fix you”. 
 
A solution that will continue growing with you, as you meet your next challenge.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

THE 3 SECRETS NO ONE SHARES ABOUT PAIN & ANXIETY:

SECRET #1: IN ORDER TO DO WHAT YOU WANT = YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

 SECRET #2: YOUR BRAIN DETERMINES WHAT PAIN & ANXIETY ARE AND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. THIS CAN BE UNLEARNED. YOU HAVE A CHOICE OVER YOUR “TRIGGERS”.

SECRET #3: YOU CAN HARNESS THE POWER OF YOUR BRAIN 

TO REWIRE YOUR MOVEMENT, THINKING & FEELING HABITS & FREE YOURSELF.

DURING THE DAY: MOVE WITHOUT PAIN

STEP 1:
We identify sub-optimal body movements that are creating pain or limitation. 
These typically show up in the form of pain as you stand, walk, sit, or use the stairs.
 
STEP 2: 
We introduce optimal movements to maximize your mobility, balance, and endurance. 
We teach you how to introduce these movements several times during the day.
 
STEP 3:
We keep you accountable. 
We check in with you frequently to make sure you are practicing and repeating optimal movements often. 
 
STEP 4:
We keep track of your new practices with a journal.
This keeps you motivated and consistently measuring your improvement. 

AT WORK: ANXIETY-FREE PRODUCTIVITY

STEP 1: 

We understand your current work/practice environment. 
What body positions are you spending the most time on? Sitting? Standing? Walking? 
What’s the level of stress in your daily life?
 
STEP 2:
We analyze your setup.
Do you have an optimal desk/height ratio? How supportive is your chair? Is the height of your computer creating strain on your neck? What shoes are you wearing? 
What practices do you have in place to manage stress and reduce anxiety?
 
STEP 3:
We optimize your physical environment.
We make recommendations for optimal desk, chair, and computer setup (including mouse, keyboard, etc). 
We may order them for you, and set them up. 
 
STEP 4:
We add effective movement & breathing practices.
Based on your unique needs, we add a simple movement routine that you can use to align your body, de-stress, focus, and find peaceful productivity.

AT NIGHT: MILLION DOLLAR SLEEP

STEP 1: 

We take a look at your pillow, mattress, and support pillows.

How are you supporting your skeleton for 7 hours on average every night? Do you feel rested when you wake up? 
 
STEP 2:
We analyze your sleep routine and habits.
How do you fall asleep? What’s your sleep quality? Are you in pain when you wake up? 
 
STEP 3:
We optimize your sleeping environment.
We make recommendations for pillows, mattresses, eye masks, support pillows, curtains, and weighted blankets. 
We may even order them for you and have them delivered. 
 
STEP 4:
We design a sleeping and waking up routine for you, to keep you pain-free all day (and all night).
We teach you best practices that can make a big difference in how you fall -and stay- asleep. 
We design a mobility routine of -10 to 20 minutes max- to bring your body from sleeping to fluidity every morning. 

MY BACKGROUND & CREDENTIALS

My name is Dayana Pereira. Since age 18, I’ve been working with the human mind and body, obsessing about high performance. 

I am fascinated with how a small percentage of humans are able to achieve superhuman abilities, while most seem happy with an average expression of their potential. Understanding the gap between ordinary and extraordinary has led me to live a fulfilled, rich life.

‍
I am a certified Feldenkrais Method® Practitioner (David Zemach-Bersin’s graduate) and have studied with experts in the fields of Neuroplasticity, Human Development, Martial Arts, Breathing, Fitness, and Thermal Exposure.

I founded Dayana Inc. in 2017 and co-Founded KORU Wellness Center in 2018, attracting a group of skilled practitioners and offering a holistic approach to health and wellness. Our clientele included CEOs, Founders, athletes, and artists.‍

A serial learner, from 2019 to 2021 I continued my education, this time in quantum mechanics, neurobiology, and meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza (Unlimited), personal development with Tony Robbins, Influence with Sean Callagy (Unblinded), and Sales, Marketing and Growth Consulting with Nick Kozmin (Salesprocess.io).

In 2022 I reopened my private in-person practice in Bucks County, PA, while continuing to offer online classes and workshops. 

My mission is to help people like you achieve an extraordinary life, transforming painful habits into empowering, long-lasting vitality.

MY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS:

UNIQUE USEFUL INSIGHTS + ULTIMATE BENEFITS:

THE FELDENKRAIS METHOD®:  is a powerful and revolutionary approach to improving your life that uses gentle, mindful movement to bring new awareness and possibility into every aspect of life. Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the Feldenkrais Method has helped millions of people worldwide. 

YOUR BODY IS AN ORGANISM: Mind and body are not separate, and when perceived as such, the division they create spreads to all areas of your life. Fragmentation and chaos become a baseline, and it takes huge amounts of energy to maintain balance. ‍

SYSTEMS THEORY: One change in any part of the system will create improvement in the whole.
 
MOVEMENT IS LIFE: What stays stuck, sooner or later decays and dies. Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it go away.
 
WEBER-FECHNER’s LAW: Weber’s law is a principle law in psychophysics first proposed by Gustav Weber, and further formulated by his student Gustav Fechner. The law states that the difference in perceptual sensitivity to a stimulus is inversely proportional to the actual difference. In other words, if a person lifts objects of differing weights, his or her perception of the difference in weight shows a uniform ratio as the weight is increased or decreased. We use this law to use small sensory inputs in the form of movement to generate brain neuroplasticity and get you out of pain.
‍
AWARENESS AS FIRST PRINCIPLES THINKING: The only way to know what is true to you is to ask the question, and have the courage to see what is there.

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

Alternatives may sometimes:

  • Treat the symptom without addressing the cause, which will cause the pain to return

  • Have an isolating approach (i.e. “fixing” the “body part”, instead of seeing the body as a whole

  • Make you dependent on the mechanism to create a result, thus putting the Solution out of your hands. You have to return for another shot, an adjustment, etc.  

  • Not be clear about “how it works”, so you can produce the benefits on your own. 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“A friend of mine encouraged me for six months to go to Dayana’s Feldenkrais class. Upon my first class, it was life-changing. After weeks of going, I could slowly feel the structure of my body changing. I stand for a living and in an 8 to 12 hour period, I rarely sit down for even a break. I noticed that my body became lighter and I had a lot more energy at the end of my days. I’m almost 60 and I appreciate the grace and ease I feel in my body from the things Dayana taught me.” 

– Jill Stagg
 
“WOW! What a difference in just one 60 minute class! Dayana Pereira is certainly a Master Feldenkrais Practitioner and right here in Buck County YES! Her ability to clearly articulate a step-by-step unfolding of our bodies to what is most nurturing and natural is extraordinary! I am in AWE of this Feldenkrais Movement to reorganize the connection between our brain and body to restore us to a softer, lighter, freer, way of moving! BRAVO MOSHÉ FELDENKRAIS & BRAVA DAYANA PEREIRA. THANK YOU BOTH!“
– Carolyn Viola
 
“Dayana Pereira keeps our spine limber with her Feldenkrais teaching. Each class is focused on the particular needs of the students. I encourage everyone to try one of her classes. Your spine will thank you!”
– Jerry Graham
 
“Dayana, you are a truly gifted teacher whose knowledge is beyond any textbook. You have a magical style of teaching and the creative tools that you bring to each class are amazing. I would like to thank you for helping me with my collar bone/shoulder pain, the private sessions we did for this really helped me.I use all of the tips you gave me on a daily basis to remain pain free. I feel very fortunate to have found the Feldenkrais method and to be your very grateful student.“
– Linda Hazan
 
“Dayana Pereira is a brilliant Feldenkrais teacher. Her excellent presentation of Feldenkrais’ lessons is delightful. I rely on these classes to keep my body and mind movable, flexible, and responsive to the mental and physical difficulties and joys that life presents as I approach my 81st birthday. I am looking forward to experiencing private sessions with Dayana. I know that will add additional elements to the classes.“
– Marjory Hirsch
 
“Dayana Pereira is a master Feldenkrais instructor who combines knowledge, expertise, and a gentle approach to deeply understanding and supporting your physical challenges. You will come to Dayana because you have heard productive and constructive qualities about the technique but you will leave with a new appreciation for how your body operates and how empowered you can be in correcting it. Dayana is skilled, sensitive, kind, and really knows her stuff. She can educate, inspire and elevate your own cognitive abilities while introducing your body and mind to more improved ways of functioning. Combine a therapeutic technique with a practitioner who offers you lifelong insight into your body’s construction and movement. Dayana is a gem and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.“
– Joanna Harp
 
“Profound and subtle work. Dayana is an articulate, experienced, and gifted guide who has helped me to heal. She also is adept at opening new pathways for learning through movement. Lessons shown can be taken through all of life.”
– Alan Kane
 
“I am a 77-year-old woman with an arthritic knee and hip joints. When I came to Dayana, I felt very hopeless about diminishing the pain I experienced going up and downstairs and the muscle spasms in my legs that kept me awake at night. Dayana worked with me to learn how to rise from sitting to standing without pain and to use my feet and pelvis so that stress in walking and climbing stairs is distributed along my legs and throughout my entire body. Her confidence that improvement is always possible is contagious, and I made much progress under her care. I now have little pain on stairs and I sleep well most of the time. In addition, Dayana’s personal warmth and kindness made every visit a pleasure.”
‍– Peggy Ray
 
“When you find the right teacher for you, when it is a fit, you sense its resonance in every cell of your being. This is how I feel about Dayana Pereira’s ATM lessons. I have studied with Moshe Feldenkrais himself as well as numerous other Feldenkrais teachers since 1978. Dayana has made this body of work her own. Her somatic instructions, the philosophy based on her kindness, and the way she is able to pass it on to her students are deeply profound and transformative. I try to take part in her one-hour Awareness through Movement lessons at least once a week to stay in balance with my feelings, thinking, and taking part in life. It creates a beautiful ripple effect in my own work with others.”
– Ute Arnold
 
“I have been taking individual classes with Mrs. Pereira since September 2012. Being a classical concert pianist, I learned very important principles that in my opinion are crucial for a healthy approach to the keyboard: Thanks to Mrs. Pereira, I discovered how some subtle, slow and gentle movements made a huge difference in the overall body’s attitude at the piano, giving me a great opportunity to get deeper into a new realm of functional movement awareness. I highly recommend Mrs. Pereira to musicians, performing artists, and to everybody who wants to build a more efficient, constructive relationship with their body.”
‍– Simone Ferraresi
 
“I have had the pleasure of working extensively with Dayana Pereira, and I’m happy to recommend her as a Feldenkrais practitioner. I have received many FI’s from Dayana, participated in several of her ATM’s, and used her audio recordings. Dayana has a gentle, refined, and exploratory touch. Her easygoing, nonjudgmental, and open manner help to make you comfortable and put you at ease. Her dedication to intellectually understanding The Feldenkrais Method and to fully knowing it with her own body make her a skillful and helpful practitioner. Dayana is a positive, optimistic, and caring soul. Moshe Feldenkrais would be honored to know such a fine young woman was continuing his work.“
– Eric Rubin

WORKING PRINCIPLES

The work is based on First Principles, Self Inquiry, Neuroplasticity, and Stress Adaptation. 

FIRST PRINCIPLES thinking: is a fancy way of saying: “think like a scientist, and ask yourself the right questions.”  
You don’t assume or guess, and what you ultimately seek is a repeatable result. A set of principles that you can rely on, apply over and over again, and get a similar outcome. Also, a roadmap or protocol to generate working principles, if presented with a new challenge.
‍
SELF INQUIRY: applies first principles thinking to your unique experience of the world and of yourself. How you perceive, think, feel and move. What is working and what isn’t. Where are movement limitations and/or old belief systems getting in the way of expressing your fullest potential. Not only in a body that moves powerfully in the world, without pain or restrictions but also in a peaceful mind, calm in the face of stress. 
‍
NEUROPLASTICITY:  Based on The Feldenkrais Method® –an effective integration of Martial Arts, Biomechanics and Nervous System balancing– this training leverages the ability of your brain to form new connections to rewire your movement and breathing patterns. It’s extremely successful in improving body posture and keeping pain away.
‍
STRESS ADAPTATION: Drawing from XPT® Life –big wave surfer Laird Hamilton’s fitness training– we utilize breathing and thermal exposure to adapt to stress, creating a new baseline that strengthens your body & mind in every area of your life.
 

TWO EXAMPLES:

CHRONIC PAIN

FATIGUE

CURRENT STATE: You have this nagging pain on your shoulder that nothing seems to be able to fix. You get a weekly massage, and it feels good for a couple of days until the pain comes back.
 
You go to the chiropractor every other week, and after a few days, the pain is back. Your body aches. You wish there was a pill you could take, but you know this will only mask the symptoms anyway.
 
This attitude of “giving up on your body” doesn’t fit your overachiever personality, and you know it. You try not to think about it, but it’s getting worse. You wish you could play for a longer time without pain. You are not sure what to do about it, so you book another massage and hope for the best.
 
‍
‍NEW STATE:  We analyze your work and practice environment and identify sub-optimal movement patterns.
 
We replace them with specific movements that provide you support and freedom, so your skeleton and musculature can work efficiently.
 
Within 2 to 4 weeks, your chronic pain is gone. You are more aware of habitual movements that keep you in pain and are able to retrain your body. You have a movement practice to keep your spine limber and your neck & jaw free.
 
Since you are not in pain, you can play for longer, your energy level is higher, and you are able to focus.  You start performing at a higher level. Your colleagues are wondering how you are playing so much better. Only you know why.
CURRENT STATE:  You wake up from sleeping enough hours and still feel tired. Your stomach is unsettled and you don’t feel like eating much. Your energy level is low, you feel fatigued. 
 
As you get to work, you are still distracted by your sensations. The pressure builds as you can’t get much done. You are unfocused and this bugs you since you know how well you can perform. 
 
NEW STATE: We analyze your sleeping routine and bedroom setup. 
Anything from what you do the 2 hours before you get to bed (i.e. blue lights, exercise, food), the darkness and temperature in your bedroom, and most importantly, your pillow and mattress.
 
We improve your bedtime routine and provide you the best pillow for your neck height, optimize the darkness and temperature in the room your body type. 
 
We teach you simple movements and breathing techniques to soothe you to sleep and/or help you go back to sleep if you wake up to use the bathroom and/or thoughts are keeping you up. 
We address looping thoughts and worries that may be keeping your mind active. 
 
We incorporate a simple movement routine as soon as you wake up to mobilize your joints and get your blood flowing. 
 
Within 2 to 4 weeks, you are feeling more rested as you wake up.  You are more productive and focused at work, which allows you to perform better. You feel youthful once again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Results will depend on how consistent you are at implementing the recommendations. We typically see benefits from week one. Depending on how much time you put into it, how open-minded you are to the information you’re receiving, and if you use it or not (how much your practice), you will see a different result.

Not at all. Our role is to make sure you remember all the relevant information and to put it in the format that will help you succeed. You may be a visual or auditory learner, and we will make sure to present the new material in the best format for you, as well as to remind you of all the important details.

The recommended course of action is a one-hour weekly session (includes an assessment) and 20 minutes daily for your movement practice. If you decide to join an accountability group, you will be invited to a weekly 30-minute session.

Most of our clients are very private as well. The reason for the group sessions is to have a live forum where we can present questions in real-time that can be addressed. You can turn off your camera, and if you seek anonymity, you can remove your name from the screen. The point of the group sessions is to find support, establish a community, and benefit from your cohort. It is not a requirement that you speak or share anything private.

You don’t have to be an executive or professional to find value in our services. However, the majority of our successful clients are in high-stress positions and we excel at working with them.

We have a very high completion rate because we keep our videos short and to the point. We are not here to lecture you or to bore you with too many details but to provide useful, actionable information that you can use right away. We also have group support calls to help you get through any bumps on the road, and stay consistent and accountable.

Once you learn to replace painful, inefficient movement, counterproductive thinking, and destructive feeling patterns with new and effortless ease, your body will naturally want to practice more. The thing to keep in mind is that this is not an exercise program that requires time in a gym. The simplicity of the movements make it easy to practice anytime, anywhere.

No. the group classes and private sessions, which are taught one-on-one, are slow, gentle explorations of movement that can be done by anyone, at any level of fitness.

A wonderful thing about the Feldenkrais Method® is that it is about exploring learning strategies. If you have difficulty with one side, you can work with the other side. If you can’t lie down, you can sit. And even students with paralysis have found that working with their imagination can create new neural links to improve their quality of life.

Physical therapy exercises take a mechanical approach to rehabilitation. Feldenkrais goes a step further, by integrating precise biomechanical movements into a holistic understanding of your body’s central nervous system. In this way, your body and mind work simultaneously to rewire the neural pathways that trigger pain and restriction so you can move more freely, without discomfort.

If you’re doubting about working with us or not, please take a moment to ask yourself what makes you curious about it? And what are the doubts that you have? Are they in our process? Or are you doubting that you can do it? Are these doubts showing up in other areas of your life? You are always welcome to schedule a strategy session and find out more. Contact us and a member of our team will answer all your questions.
