The way towards world peace is through inner peace.

Hi, I’m Dana!

My passion resides at the intersection of philanthropy and the philosophy of conscious living. My entrepreneurial journey has been multifaceted, encompassing a wide range of roles from fundraising, to sales to wellness consulting — Throughout all of these endeavours I have made significant contributions to the charitable sector for over two decades as Director of a Canadian charitable foundation. 

This diverse path has ultimately led me to a perfect pinnacle, as Chief Impact Officer at HOUSE OF IMPACT, and a Conscious Living & Global Impact Consultant, Facilitator & Speaker, where my varied experiences converge harmoniously.

  • At House of Impact, I lead a visionary consulting firm dedicated to redefining the business of philanthropy. We partner with individuals, businesses, and family offices to strategically direct millions of dollars in philanthropic investments toward meaningful and sustainable global change. By integrating social responsibility into every aspect of strategy and operations, we empower clients to leave a legacy that aligns their values.

    With my home bases being Canada and Costa Rica, I combine my passion for conscious living with my expertise in creating global impact. I am currently writing a book and pursuing a PhD in Philosophy of Conscious Living, furthering my mission to inspire others to master the balance of inner peace and outward generosity.

As Chief Impact Officer at House of Impact, I have the pleasure of converging all of my passions for philanthropy and supporting others in curating their legacies.

  • My path has been defined by a passion for impact from an early age, inspired by my experience volunteering with my grandmother as a young girl, followed by producing my first charity event at 16. This early start foreshadowed a life dedicated to philanthropy, a commitment that continued through my university years and evolved into a career in event production focused on charitable fundraising.

    In 2011, I joined the charitable foundation Artbound, broadening my impact through fundraising and leading international impact retreats in countries like Kenya, India, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Guatemala. 

    The pandemic brought a temporary halt to fundraising events and impact based travel but opened a new avenue for me as a consultant for charities and affluent individuals passionate about making a difference. I discovered a shift in the philanthropic landscape: people no longer wanted to just write checks; they cared deeply about the impact of their contributions and sought guidance in aligning their donations with their passions.

    This led to the creation of House of Impact, a strategy and consulting firm that assists individuals, businesses, and brands in leaving a positive footprint on the world. At House of Impact, I help clients integrate social responsibility into their core operations.

    Now, I stand at an intersection where my love for conscious living and impact merges with my passion for giving and receiving. I consider it an honor to guide others through this process, leveraging my experiences to facilitate a deeper connection between individuals and the causes they care about.
