Dana Waldie, Owner + Licensed Aesthetician

Meet Dana Waldie, your licensed holistic aesthetician and the spirited force behind Methods + Rituals. Born amidst the buzz of a Michigan beauty salon, Dana's early fascination with skincare led her to pack her bags at 20 and dive into the glitz of the West Coast's fashion and film industries as a makeup artist. But Dana quickly realized that true beauty transcends foundation and concealer. Seeking to marry licensed procedures with mindfulness and holistic practices, Dana delved into the world of aesthetics, ultimately becoming the lead aesthetician at Vera Bella Skin Therapy in Beverly Hills.

Dana's journey didn't stop with skincare. A quest for deeper healing pushed her to explore the realms of energy work. Now a certified Reiki Practitioner, Sound Healer, and Breathwork and Meditation Facilitator, Dana believes in the transformative power of human touch and integrates all of these modalities into her practice. Her approach isn't just about treating the skin but nurturing the soul, using stress-reducing methods to enhance both inner peace and outer beauty.

Today, Dana continues to share her unique philosophy from Joshua Tree, California, where she lives with her husband, son and daughter. Under the vast desert sky, Dana services private clients in the Joshua Tree and Palm Springs areas, performing sacred rituals and spreading her knowledge that beauty is a harmonious blend of skin and soul.

Brit Capri, RYT-500

Meet Brit Capri, a ritualist and multidimensional healer. After years of living in her head, Brit found her way back into her body through yoga. Yoga Teacher Training cracked open something sacred within her and set her on a path to help others feel more at home in their own skin.

Her group experiences are an invitation to soften, feel, and listen—returning to the rhythm of your own body and truth. While each offering has its own rhythm and structure, sessions are often layered with intuitive elements like tarot, pranayama, or astrology—woven in to meet the energy of the moment. Brit brings a rare blend of structure and intuition, equal parts grounded and galactic. She’s here for the woman who’s ready to stop performing, start feeling, and come home to her body’s wisdom.

Services offered include: Mojave Flow Yoga, Desert Journey Sound Bath, Human Design Workshop, and Galactic Breathwork.
