Dana Medvedev
Narcissistic Abuse and Intimacy Coach
Dana Medvedev is an Intimacy and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, trauma survivor, and the founder of REVIVE—a transformational program for women healing after narcissistic abuse.
Born in Romania and now based in Amsterdam, she works with a growing European audience, supporting women who are ready to break free from toxic patterns, reconnect with their bodies, and rebuild trust—both in themselves and in intimacy. Her mission was born from personal experience: surviving emotional abuse, facing the brutal truth of what she had endured, and choosing to heal with intention, clarity, and fierce self-respect.
Dana’s coaching style is trauma-informed, deeply intuitive, empathetic—and refreshingly no-nonsense. She doesn’t sugarcoat or engage in “soft healing.” Instead, she creates a grounded, safe space where women can confront the truth, feel what’s been buried, and begin to live from a place of authenticity and self-worth.
Drawing inspiration from Jung and Freud, her work dives beneath the surface—into unconscious beliefs, nervous system imprints, and emotional wounds that keep women stuck in cycles of self-abandonment and shame.
Her core belief: Authenticity doesn’t earn applause. It earns resistance. But if you’re brave enough to face yourself, it will give you something far greater—freedom.
