DENA GOLD is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, DTI-certified full-spectrum doula (covering fertility, birth, postpartum, and abortion), certified lactation counselor, Spinning Babies®-aware practitioner, and certified Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator.

Dena holds masters degrees in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. While she treats a wide range of imbalances and concerns, her specialties in her acupuncture practice include women's/uterine health, psychoemotional concerns, trans health, fatigue syndromes, and pain management. She is trained in a wide array of acupuncture styles and techniques, and is in long-term study with a master practitioner. Her herbal training included considerations of the interactions of herbs with medications and/or particular health conditions to support safety and further enhance patient health. She is trained in customizing herbal formulations for each individual presentation.

Dena is trained in a wide array of massage techniques including trigger points release, deep tissue, shiatsu, Thai yoga massage, Arvigo® abdominal massage, and craniosacral/dynamic body balancing (for adults and infants). She has a wide range of experience in different areas, including pain management and prenatal massage. She also offers sessions particularly oriented towards breech body balancing, which incorporate a mix of massage therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, craniosacral, and spinning babies techniques.

As a doula, she brings her years of clinical experience to her clients, using hands-on support to help enhance physical comfort during birth. She is able to keep a calm presence, while helping parents understand what their providers present and supporting them as they navigate potentially changing terrain. Dena is passionate about preserving agency and bodily autonomy throughout the birthing process, which she knows looks different for each individual. In her postpartum work, her approach is to follow parents' lead, while offering education and resources to support infant safety and comfort, as well as family bonding. For those who feel uncertain she is happy to offer as much support as needed to help them learn and feel confident in their new role. This period can be a big transition and she values being able to help families navigate this sometimes unpredictable period.

Dena focuses on evidence-based lactation solutions grounded in high level research and a physiological understanding of the science of lactation, while keeping in touch with the emotional and intangible aspects of the bodyfeeding experience. She brings her detailed clinical eye to the diagnosis of any issues, and offers clear solutions, helping families find ways to implement them that fit their unique needs.

I began practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2002 and I specialize in fertility, prenatal, postpartum and infant massage. I also offer Reiki, Yoga, Childbirth Education and Postpartum Doula support.

My love and study of traditional healing arts coupled with an educational background in biology offers a me a unique approach to working with clients and students alike. I attended the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, prior to which I earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology and studied herbal medicine at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. I received advanced training in Perinatal Massage, Infant Massage, Medical Massage, Reiki, and Anatomy Trains. Once I began working with pregnant mothers, I became enchanted by this sacred time in a woman's life.

My own journey of pregnancy began with my son, who was born in 2008. I quickly learned that the sacred time of pregnancy can be scary and challenging. In walking this path as a single mother, I decided to learn and research traditional birth practices. I found an amazing yoga teacher, went to weekly prenatal yoga and attended childbirth education. These experiences grounded me and allowed me to feel at ease, confident and grateful during my pregnancy. I had a powerful and transformative birth experience where I was supported by my yoga practice, a birth doula and a nurse midwife. Having traveled the sacred journey of birth, I wanted to help other women and families.

My next steps were clear.... I completed a 200-hour Yoga teacher training, attended Pre and Postnatal Yoga training, trained as a Lamaze Childbirth Educator, Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Infant Massage Educator. Through my journey I have cultivated a deep respect for the innate wisdom and healing ability of the body, mind and spirit. I am extremely thankful for my teachers, students, clients and colleagues alike. I am the founder of Tree of Life Healing Arts, a Westchester based wellness practice offering Massage, Reiki, Yoga, Childbirth Education and Postpartum doula support.
