We are pleased to introduce Dana Walters as an assistant to the publishers of the Lee & Collier Counties edition of Natural Awakenings. Walters will support co-publishers Sharon Bruckman and Alina Dabbrowski and our advertising partners, with outreach, follow-up and assistance.

With 16 years of experience as the former publisher of Natural Awakenings Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties in New York, Walters brings a deep understanding of the magazine’s mission and a heartfelt connection to the wellness community. She is passionate about holistic living and appreciates the opportunity to help local businesses share their services with readers who are seeking healthier, more balanced lives.

In her new role, Walters looks forward to supporting existing advertising partners and building connections with new businesses and practitioners throughout Lee and Collier counties. She aims to foster collaboration and meaningful relationships while offering tailored advertising solutions that increase visibility, strengthen community connections and advance the shared mission of educating, empowering and inspiring readers.

“I’m excited to work with the Southwest Florida team and to connect with the healers, practitioners, business owners and readers who make this edition such a valued local resource,” says Walters. “Communication and collaboration are important to me, and I welcome the opportunity to learn more about the people and businesses helping our region thrive.”

Walters currently resides in DownEast Maine and enjoys hiking, cooking, gardening, reading, photo journaling and spending time with friends and family.
