Readers will recognize the familiar face of Dana Boulanger, who has joined the team as a community collaborator, assisting publisher Erica Mills with client relations, outreach, follow-up and advertising sales for both of Mills’ Natural Awakenings editions (Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties, in New York, and Fairfield and Southern Litchfield counties, in Connecticut).

“I am very excited to be working with Dana again,” says Mills. “Not only is her experience and knowledge invaluable, but her thoughts on marketing and providing tailored-solutions to prospective and current customers is such an asset to the local Natural Awakenings community.”

As the previous publisher of Natural Awakenings Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess for 16 years, Boulanger explains that she continues to feel very connected with the local wellness community. “I personally embrace a holistic approach to living and am eager to continue to discover, meet and support local professionals that share the mission to educate, empower and engage readers in finding ways to live healthier, more balanced lives,” says Boulanger, a native of Northern Westchester.

“I have a passion for health and wellness, and I love meeting and connecting with people and building community,” adds Boulanger. “I’m excited to work with Erica’s team and continue to be part of such a wonderful community of healers and practitioners and awesome readers who cherish our publication that has grown to be the go-to resource for all seeking knowledge on healthy living here on a healthy planet.”

Boulanger, currently a Dutchess County resident, loves hiking, cooking, gardening, reading, photo journaling and fun times with friends and family. Now that she is a team member, she hopes to embrace a healthy work/life balance. “No matter where I go, I enjoy connecting with those whose energies align with mine and sharing,” she notes. “Communication is key for me, so please feel free to call or email, and let’s collaborate and continue to build a healthier community.”
