We recently had the chance to connect with Dana Suazo and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dana, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
What I believe many people are secretly struggling with—but rarely talk about—is the heart wound of separation.
Said differently, it’s the deep feeling of being an outsider. Feeling alone. Feeling as though you don’t belong anywhere.
As a unity consciousness choosing to experience separation, these feelings can create confusing inner dialogue:
Why do I feel so alone?
Why do I have a “perfect” life, yet still feel empty or unseen?
Why do I have a loving family, yet still feel like I don’t truly have one?
As the outer world becomes increasingly divisive, these feelings of isolation only deepen. Our fast-paced lifestyles add to this disconnection—people are busy, responses are delayed, messages go unanswered. Many interpret this as rejection or abandonment, further reinforcing the wound.
Even those operating at a high level of awareness—teachers, healers, lightworkers—are not immune. Many quietly carry this pain, believing it would appear weak to admit it. “I’m a teacher, I’m a healer, I hold high vibration,” they tell themselves. “I can’t let anyone know that I sometimes feel so alone, that part of me just wants to leave this planet.” And yet, these same people often have loving friendships and beautiful communities. They understand, on some level, that these feelings are illusions created by the human experience of separation.
But not everyone has that awareness. Many are silently struggling, not understanding why they feel this ache in their heart.
This is why compassion is more important than ever. We are all walking each other home—back to unity, back to connection, back to remembering that separation was never real. The truth is: you are never alone. You never have been. And the very ache you feel is the part of you that is calling you home to Love.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am an intuitive Reiki healer and teacher devoted to helping others remember their wholeness. Recently, I co-created the Angelic Alchemy Reiki & Sound Healing Practitioner Training with Cyndi Stewart—a heart-centered fusion of angelic frequencies, alchemy, and sacred sound. In addition to this, I teach traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho, the Seraphim Rose Pyramid System, and other Seraphic Wisdom courses that support deep transformation and soul awakening.
I began my journey as a healer, and that calling continues to be one of my greatest blessings. I am honored to serve as a gentle yet powerful channel for divine healing energy that moves through me—not from me. Over the years, I have come to realize that one of my natural gifts is that of a connector. Often without consciously trying, I bring people together—aligning them with the people, places, or opportunities that serve their highest good. It always humbles me to hear how a simple introduction or conversation has sparked profound change in someone’s life.
I love being a mentor and guiding others on their spiritual path. My door is always open to those with questions or curiosity. Building community is also one of my greatest passions. I recognize how many people in our world feel isolated, and if one evening of shared energy, laughter, and connection can help someone feel a little less alone, then I have succeeded.
In everything I do—whether through healing sessions, teaching, community gatherings, or a brief encounter in the grocery store—I strive to hold a space of compassion. My deepest intention is to help people reconnect with the truth of who they are: divine, radiant beings of love. If I can help even one person see that light within themselves, then my purpose is fulfilled.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
The people who saw me most clearly before I could see myself were my grandparents. I was also blessed to have met my great-grandparents. I have never experienced such unconditional love as I did with them.
As a child, I didn’t fully grasp how loved or admired I was. I didn’t realize how they cherished my presence, found me entertaining, or thought I was funny. It wasn’t until I became an adult, walking my spiritual path, that I could reflect and truly appreciate the depth of their love.
Whenever I feel unseen or unloved, I can return to that memory and be reminded of the unwavering love that surrounded me in my early life. It’s a comforting anchor, a reminder that love has always been a part of me.
It’s funny—though I would never describe myself as particularly humorous, my grandparents always found me so. One of my closest friends, Kerry, often tells me the same thing: that I make her laugh. And I think, me? funny? really? Yet I treasure it. To know that I can bring joy, laughter, or lightness into someone’s day is a gift I cherish deeply.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I have come to realize that suffering is not meaningless—it is a profound teacher. The challenges we face, the heartbreaks, the moments of feeling lost or alone, are all experiences meant to help us grow, to expand our awareness, and to cultivate compassion. For those of us called to be healers, these experiences carry an even deeper purpose: they prepare us to meet others where they are, to guide them through their pain, and to help them rediscover their own light.
It is often our willingness to be vulnerable, to share our stories, and to acknowledge our own struggles that creates the space for others to do the same. Without having walked through our own valleys, it can be difficult to truly hold space for another person’s suffering. Our openness becomes an invitation—a silent signal that says, “It’s safe to feel, it’s safe to share, it’s safe to heal.”
I have personally faced moments of profound isolation and doubt. Times when I questioned my path, my purpose, and even my own worth. It is in those moments that I discovered the transformative power of vulnerability. By embracing my own humanity, I could connect more deeply with others, offer empathy without judgment, and become a vessel for healing.
Suffering, in this light, is not just a personal journey—it is a bridge. A bridge that allows us to connect heart-to-heart, to meet others in their pain, and to walk alongside them toward their own healing. The lessons gleaned from our own challenges infuse our work, our teaching, and our interactions with depth, compassion, and authenticity.
Every difficulty, every heartbreak, every shadow we encounter carries the potential for profound transformation. And when we allow ourselves to be open, honest, and vulnerable, we give others permission to do the same. In this shared space of authenticity and love, true healing unfolds.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
If you asked my closest friends what truly matters to me, they would probably say: Integrity. Truth, honesty, and loyalty are the foundations I live by. I strive to embody integrity in every aspect of my life. Do I falter at times? Of course—I’m human. But I always aim to be the best version of myself, and to live in alignment with my words, actions, and values. (Though my husband might tell you I have my moments—just kidding!)
We share a balanced life built on mutual trust and respect. We know we can always rely on each other, no matter what. The same holds true for my friendships. My friends and family know that if they need someone in their corner, I will stand beside them wholeheartedly. Interestingly, I sometimes find it easier to fight for others than for myself—but when it comes to protecting those I love, it’s on like Donkey Kong!
One thing that can be challenging for people around me is that I can intuitively sense when someone is being dishonest. I would always rather have a difficult truth than a comfortable lie. I deeply value straightforward communication and believe that honesty—spoken with kindness—is one of the purest forms of respect.
Integrity also guides my work as a healer. I consider myself an ethical healer above all else. Before becoming a full-time teacher and practitioner, I worked for a law firm, where I learned the importance of ethics, boundaries, and accountability. Those lessons remain with me and shape the way I hold space for others. In both my personal and professional life, I believe integrity is not just about doing the right thing—it’s about living in harmony with truth, love, and authenticity.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I would hope that people remember me most for my loving and calm presence. I hope that when I enter a room, my energy brings a sense of peace and ease. I hope my smile, my warmth, and my quiet energy help others to pause, breathe, and feel safe.
More than that, I hope my light is a gentle reminder for people to reconnect with their own inner love and radiance. It is not about me being the center of attention, but about creating space for others to feel their own worth, their own calm, their own light. Even a brief encounter—a smile, a kind word, a quiet moment of shared energy—can plant a seed of reassurance, comfort, or hope.
This is the essence of my work, whether I am teaching, healing, or simply moving through life. Presence is a gift, and I hope that my presence leaves a ripple: that in feeling my calm and love, others remember that they too carry that same light within themselves. Ultimately, I hope that my energy contributes, in some small way, to making the world a little gentler, a little brighter, and a little more loving.
