Overview

Mission

Dianovas mission is to enable individuals to build and maintain spiritually-grounded, loving, nurturing and healthy loving and intimate relationships, particularly for persons who are impeded by high anxiety, trauma and related causes. At dianova we emphatically believe that the spirit, mind and body need to be integrated in order to heal. The key dianova differentiator is combining spiritual guidance together with experiential work that integrates breathing, touching, sensing and moving as necessary components of complete and thorough healing and lifelong change.

What it reported doing in 2024

This foundation is the umbrella organization that seeks to not only provide formal training through our educational arm, the dianova institute, but also the foundation itself that is more focused on setting up the safe and legal provisions needed for our trained therapists and experts to assist this client base to the fullest extent possible. What we are interested in is becoming the mecca for health and related professionals who wish to bring persons who are impeded by high anxiety, trauma or related causes back into alignment and integrated health. As we have noted also in the introduction to our institute, the key dianova differentiator is combining spiritual guidance together with experiential work that integrates breathing, touching, sensing and moving as necessary components of complete and thorough integration of physical mental and spiritual vitality. All this is possible and is the ultimate dream of san francisco-based academic and practitioner dr. Elaine floyer. Her landmark work on intimacy anxiety disorder has spawned both this foundation and the institute and that dream is to see to it that the estimated 10 million people in the world impacted in some way around intimacy anxiety can be met, seen and returned to full health and intimacy integration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
