Dana Mozer, FNP, MSN

Dana’s interest in healthcare was sparked through work in social and reproductive justice in the 1990s. While volunteering at a free gynecology clinic in San Francisco. She graduated from Yale University’s School of Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 1996. Since then she has provided trauma informed, relationship based holistic gynecologic/sexual health services in Portland, Oregon, and has also worked for 13 years helping mostly houseless adults with their primary health care needs. Dana has been a student of western herbal medicine since 1997 and has been studying Functional Medicine, a patient centered approach to healing, which focuses on rooting out the underlying cause of our health concerns by addressing lifestyle and environmental issues. Dana is also a practitioner of Maya Abdominal Therapy, a calming, external massage technique which helps with many pelvic, gastrointestinal, low back, and emotional conditions. Without initial awareness, this work. Her interest in looking at the roots of symptoms led her to a fascination with the potential of ketamine with treatment resistant depression. She prescribes, holds sessions and does integration work with clients who are using ketamine for a variety of concerns and adores this newest element of her practice.
With a deep interest in looking at the root of health concerns, I come back to nature, spirit and community with each and every individual, day after day I see on a daily basis how disconnection- from nature, community and spirit -causes ill health for us as individuals and as a species and planet. Ketamine is one of many ways to increased connectedness and heal ourselves from the ground up.
