About

Dana Eisenstein is a seasoned Leadership & Transformational Facilitator and Executive Coach, who thrives on unlocking human potential with individuals and organisations.

Growing up in South Africa during Apartheid, amidst racial segregation, Dana witnessed the struggle for justice and equality. As South Africa transitioned into democracy, she observed the emergence of a nation where all voices mattered. This fuelled Dana’s mission for equity, creating a sense of belonging and empowering others to discover their authentic voice. She believes that courage lies in not only being able to speak one’s truth but the wisdom to listen deeply to others.

Dana is a Catalyst for Change: Dana uses genuine curiosity and a heart-based approach to raise the heat and challenge deep-seated assumptions. This fosters new awareness and learning experiences; making change stick.

Yoga and Meditation Enthusiast: Dana’s mat is her sanctuary, where balance and energy converge.

Forest Hiker and Beach Lover: She finds solace in winding forest trails, connecting with nature and beautiful beaches fuel her spirit.

Family First: Dana wears her motherhood badge with pride, raising three remarkable kids together with her husband, Paul, and being amused by their 2 playful cats.
