DANIEL SARYA

Daniel Sarya is passionate about helping others find their smile. He is the owner of Sarya Orthodontics, a business that has been around for over 50 years.  Growing up in Traverse City, Dan was raised to have pride in his Finnish heritage. All of his ancestors emigrated from Finland, and one of his trips back to visit his relatives with his family he realized that he wanted to bring the traditional Finnish sauna culture to Northern Michigan. So MI Sauna, a mobile wood fired sauna on Lake Michigan was created in 2020 to bring culture, community, care and SMILES to us all!

“I am passionate about seeing the magic thats right in front of me and inspiring others to see and feel it too. EXPAND is a storytelling event featuring individuals who find fulfillment from the inside out, wherever they are. How they came to find the little things that make them come alive and how they continue to expand their being from right here,. Mindful, aware, present, grateful. Never arriving, always expanding.” - Chelsea Bay
