MENTOR AND TEACHER
With over 15 years as a healer, entrepreneur, and mentor I have found that the most profound impact we can have as healers and space holders is through unlocking the fullest expression of our intuition, healing ourselves more deeply, and living in ceremony. The deeper we go and the more often we connect with spirit, the more profound our work on this earth becomes and the more full our lives. I create experiences like Shaman so that more women, more quickly, can shift into resonance and alignment with their heart’s evolution, their soul’s voice, and the expansion of their sacred work . . . and do it all with ease. Shamana is designed to activate something new within you, to nourish, evoke, and embody your own evolution of spiritual connection, power, and gifts so that you can slip in between worlds where spirit speaks to you directly, where the bodymind heals itself effortlessly and miracles happen. This is my world, and I can’t wait to share it all with you.

What women are saying
“Danielle, is a life changing force of nature, and what she has started has changed my life, and I feel for the first time that I do have control, I do have power, and I do have an innate ability to tap into it. I am forever grateful.”
— Samantha
“I am not kidding when I say that this experience changed my life. All of the work we did, the healing sessions, they set brought me home to myself. The reason to join this experience is to light your fire and transcend what you think is possible. I learned so much about energy work, healing, meditation and how to take care of myself AND others around me. Holding space for others to fall apart and be put back together in such a beautiful way, is a gift that Danielle gives to you.”
— Maria
Truly the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve never felt so seen, heard, and held. I feel like I was at a retreat with my closest friends and gained so much wisdom and experience along the way. Can't wait to see where this takes me.”
— LISA
