Hi, I’m Danielle

I’m a Complex Trauma Recovery Coach with a master’s in counseling and a background in psychology and neuroscience. I guide clients stuck in chronic fight-flight-fawn or functional freeze/shutdown modes to reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and rediscover safety and authentic connection.

No matter how deep the wounds, healing is possible, and you can reclaim your joy, pleasure, and inner power.


My story

At 17, I was kicked out of my home and found refuge with the neighborhood drug dealer. Disowned by my family, I spiraled into a decade of shutdown mode, numbing myself with drugs and battling suicidal ideation. Dropping out of high school, I lost my friends, endured sexual and betrayal traumas, and felt completely disconnected from myself and the world. I didn’t think healing was possible—until I began my own journey inward.

A turning point came during my healing journey when I experienced a profound kundalini awakening. This spiritual shift unlocked deeply buried layers of trauma and opened a pathway to reconnect with my body and spirit in ways I never thought possible. It was both challenging and transformative, showing me how trauma can disconnect us from our power and how reclaiming that power can feel like coming alive for the first time.

Over the years, I’ve learned how to release the trauma stored in my body, reprogram the beliefs that kept me stuck, and reconnect with the parts of me I thought were lost forever. These experiences gave me the wisdom to understand the darkest aspects of humanness and the power to turn pain into liberation. Today, I channel that fire into helping others heal and reclaim their lives.

As a Complex Trauma Recovery Coach with a master’s in counseling psychology and a bachelor’s in psychology and neuroscience, I combine professional expertise with personal experience. Through my coaching program, I guide clients out of chronic fight-flight-freeze or shutdown modes to rediscover safety, joy, and authentic connection. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about shedding the layers of pain and shame to uncover the wholeness that’s been within you all along.

No matter how deep your wounds may feel, healing is possible. Together, we can move from survival to thriving, reconnecting with your body, your emotions, and the life you’ve been longing for. You’re not broken—you’re human, and you’re capable of extraordinary transformation.
