About your Host

Dakota Quackenbush is the Founder of Authentic Bay Area. Her background working in addiction and mental health already had her rooted in vulnerability, depth, and analyzing social dynamics when she found AR. Once discovered, she quickly began incorporating this technology into her everyday living. Her focus in life is reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and making authentic, vulnerable connections the norm.

Authentic Bay Area teaches a social technology called Authentic Relating, which supports humans to practice stretching our relational intelligence through developing greater social-emotional skills. Our communication practices are designed to teach individuals how to create a deeper connection with themselves and others through relational mindfulness.
