About Me

Dana Lisa Young

I am a Reiki Master teacher (Shihan), trained in both Western Reiki (Usui/Tibetan Reiki) and Traditional Japanese Reiki (Komyo Reiki Kai.)  I also received my basic certification in Pranic Healing, a system of energy healing developed by GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui. I am also a certified life coach focusing on spiritual and personal development. 

I teach Reiki, conduct private Reiki and coaching sessions, and facilitate donation healing clinics. I also participate in and lead regular Reiki circles, where practitioners get together to treat and learn from each other in community.  Life coaching was a natural outgrowth of my Reiki practice, and I facilitate one-on-one sessions to help clients clarify their core values and interests to create a framework for meaningful life transformation.

My Reiki story

I received energy healing during a trip to India that brought about immediate healing of neck and back pain. I have had neck and back issues since my early 20s, and nothing had ever brought about relief that quickly. It was so astounding that I returned to the U.S. with the intention of learning energy healing. I found Reiki, which has been instrumental in bringing about greater physical health, balance and emotional clarity in my life. Among other things, it led to profound healing of a disease called Interstitial Cystitis, which I had suffered from for years. I no longer require medication or treatment and have committed myself to helping others on their wellness journey as I had been helped.  Reiki also helped me recover from an emergency c-section with complications  following the birth of my daughter.  Reiki has been such a blessing and gift in my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to help others facilitate their own healing and life purpose potential through Reiki and coaching sessions and training.

My family also benefits from Reiki – it helps relieve my husband’s and stepson’s migraines and my daughter is a “Reiki baby”, having received it since she was in-utero! I use Reiki healing for “first aid” for their bumps, bruises and stomachaches. Additionally, my dog suffers from severe storm anxiety and none of the methods (or medications) recommended by my veterinarian or dog trainers has helped very much. Reiki has actually helped her calm down in many cases to where she will lay down at my feet instead of trying to climb up on me or the furniture.

I believe it’s important for us to honor and nurture our body, mind and spirit.  As I am fond of saying, we are our own best healers! In addition to daily Reiki self-treatments, I also practice Kripalu-style yoga, affirmation work, meditation and breathwork.  I’m an avid fitness bootcamper and walker.  I regularly receive chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture and wellness-based consultation from a wonderful integrative physician. 

My practice is located in Atlanta GA.  Please contact me to find out more about the types of healing and coaching sessions I offer and to schedule an appointment.

Dragonfly Reiki is proud to be a professional level member of the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) and Georgia Birth Network.
