“Danielle showed me that I can actually make good money doing what I love as a writer and writing coach, instead of continuing to work nine-to-five. She's helped me value my time and my wisdom—not just as a paid professional, but as a mother and a human being.”

“Before I started working with Danielle, I had been ‘trying to be a writer’ for almost two decades. By the end of our first six-month program, I had gotten several publications, (including one in a major paper), a grant to write, and, most importantly, my MIND had been radically changed; my anxiety levels dropped, and I was able to show up to my creative work with an attitude that felt excited, empowered, and playful. By the end of our third program, I’d quit my job, finished a book draft, and within a week, I had agents fighting over it! I am awash in tears of gratitude. Thank you, Danielle. You changed my life.”
— Kelly Ramsey, Author of Wildfire Days and mother of 1

“Danielle has become an incredibly important person in my life, guiding me to where I am today. Thanks to her coaching, I actually opened an art studio that I'd been dreaming about for years! She transformed not just my professional path, but my entire understanding of myself.”

“I was trying to mentally prepare myself for the arrival of my second child, after really struggling postpartum with my first. After a year in traditional therapy, I still felt frustrated, stuck, and overwhelmed. Danielle cut straight to the heart of the limiting thoughts and stories I was caught in. Through her gentle encouragement, she helped me fully honor my pain while also challenging my negative self-talk. After a lifetime of feeling doomed in motherhood, I am now so much more confident, capable, and patient with myself. I never thought, at six-weeks postpartum, I could feel this good.”
— Meg B. , Mother of 2

“Danielle helped me when a decade of therapy couldn’t touch my incapacitating existential dread, fueled by my discarded religious upbringing, lack of sense of self, and loss of hope in humanity. She showed me that my ‘educated’ view that the world is a terrible place was really just a way of giving up. She seemed to have a quote, book recommendation, and/or Buddhist teaching for literally every single situation, and through them, she taught me how to draw comfort from the world, and more importantly, from myself.”
— Dani Smith, Writer and Actor
