"Working with Thrive Architects has been a true game-changer for our work in supporting states and territories. Thrive’s public policy expertise and political savviness serve as a catalyst for developing content and executing captivating events and forums for our membership. Thrive's dedication to understanding our membership’s unique challenges and providing tailored strategies has been instrumental in achieving our goals. Dana brings a professionalism, coupled with a friendly and approachable demeanor, that makes collaboration productive and enjoyable."

"Thrive Architects has been an incredible thought partner and guide for our policy and legislative work. They have risen to the challenge of an ever-shifting political and organizing landscape and really embody our core values of collectivism and collaboration. Thrive Architects has been very responsive to the needs of our members and a champion for our advocacy work. It has been an honor and privilege to bring Thrive Architects into our work not just as a consultant but as a partner, co-conspirator, and ally."

"Thrive Coaching has taught me who I am and what is important to me in the workplace. Through various exercises, I have learned to identify my strengths, establish and maintain appropriate boundaries, and have more confidence in my own decision-making. Since I began Thrive Coaching, my client base has grown dramatically, I am more resilient in managing interpersonal issues, and I am spending more time focused on activities that bring me joy. Feedback from clients has been increasingly positive, and I feel much more calm interacting with friends and family."

"Thrive Architects' workshops have become fundamental to Baylor in Washington's orientation program. Our students feel comfortable engaging without judgment, collaborating with their peers, and digesting theoretical concepts into practical examples. The content and facilitation are remarkable and really stand out from other expert-led seminars. Dana has become an amazing professional resource for our staff and students."

"Taking one of Thrive’s rest workshops was nothing short of a profound awakening for me. I was seen and understood within those workshop walls. The different exercises and conversations encouraged introspection, connection, and personal evolution. Dana’s approach and facilitation helped me to illuminate my path toward self-compassion and affirmed that seeking space for liberating rest isn't just a choice—it's an act of self-love."

"Thrive Architects isn’t just a firm. It’s a full-service advocacy, policy, and strategic planning partner. Thrive takes the time to demystify the advocacy process and makes even the most complicated policy proposal or strategy accessible to community advocates. As the founder and principal of Thrive, Dana has made our goals and policy objectives her mission and priority. She advises us at every stage of the process and ensures that we, as community leaders and organizers, have ownership of the issues and advocacy strategy."
