Dana Schwartz
A five minute read by Kat M. Lui, LAcOur friendship with Dana Schwartz has evolved over many paddle-boarding sessions, hikes, and teas. She and her husband David Watts have been welcoming from the get-go, as they were some of the first people we met when Dr. Andy Kelch and I moved to Bend.
I’ve noticed that whenever I mention Dana to others, their faces light up, and they smile ‘Oh yes, Dana! We love her!”
Dana brings light and care wherever she goes. It’s apparent in how she makes eye contact with you, how she listens, the questions she asks, and the thoughtful responses she gives. She is someone we admire and respect. And we are thrilled that she has chosen to join our team at Wise Mountain Medicine.

Dana Schwartz, MSOM, LAc
Dana is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, Aromatouch instructor, and essential oil educator.
While she comes from a family of allopathic medical doctors, Dana decided to study and practice medicine that is connected by its roots to nature’s wisdom, with science as its ally. Her love of nature is woven into her wonderment of life in her sessions. She has over 20 years experience with mind/body medicine and is honored to be an integral part of a patient’s care team.
Her areas of focus have been women’s health and healthy aging, psycho-emotional states, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, addiction, fear states, and day to day stress. She also has expertise in orthopedic injury and recovery of back and neck pain, disc injuries, neurological conditions, gastrointestinal conditions, sleep disorders, and psycho- spiritual imbalances.
Patient care may include acupuncture, moxa, cupping, tuina, shiatsu, Chinese herbal formulas, nutritional therapy, gentle breath work, home qi-gong exercises, cleansing practices and food as medicine programs.
Dana studied Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine at Emperors College of Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, and Therapeutic massage at the Swedish Institute in New York City; this combination of 6 years of education provided an integral vision of the holistic body and its many layers. During this time she became certified as a yoga instructor learning more about the subtle bodies – the energetic, emotional, and spiritual layers. She is certified as an Aroma touch Instructor, and has led many courses in the safe and effective use of essential oils.
Currently Dana is in study of cosmetic acupuncture to serve as an option for skin health, shaping, and supporting the natural process of aging. She is also in a mentorship as an end of life Midwife, in honor of the beauty that is life.
