Hello, I’m Danielle, a Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Guide, Grief Specialist, Reiki Master, and Mystic. My work is devoted to helping others return to wholeness through the integration of life’s most profound initiations: grief, loss, awakening, and rebirth.
For much of my life, I moved through the world in a kind of quiet survival, achieving, serving, masking, and unconsciously carrying the weight of unprocessed grief and unresolved trauma. Like so many of us, I learned to betray my own needs to keep the peace, to stay busy instead of still, to care for others while quietly abandoning myself. There was beauty in that life; beneath the surface lived a woman longing to remember her truth.
In October of 2022, I lost my best friend, Jessi. Her passing cracked me open in ways I could never have imagined. The grief that followed was not just emotional, it was cellular, spiritual, and soul-shattering. I descended into a darkness that stripped me of all identities and attachments. Depression, anxiety, and despair became my companions. There were moments I didn’t want to be here anymore. And yet, something deeper, a quiet whisper within, kept calling me home.
Through that darkness, I met the parts of myself I had long abandoned. I grieved not only Jessi but also the woman I had been, the one who lived in fear, who wore masks to belong, who silenced her truth to feel safe. That descent became my initiation, my death and rebirth. It took away any notion of coping or bypassing; I had no choice but to feel. And through those depths, I became again.

In October of 2022, I lost my best friend, Jessi. Her passing cracked me open in ways I could never have imagined. The grief that followed was not just emotional, it was cellular, spiritual, and soul-shattering. I descended into a darkness that stripped me of all identities and attachments. Depression, anxiety, and despair became my companions. There were moments I didn’t want to be here anymore. And yet, something deeper, a quiet whisper within, kept calling me home.
Through that darkness, I met the parts of myself I had long abandoned. I grieved not only Jessi but also the woman I had been, the one who lived in fear, who wore masks to belong, who silenced her truth to feel safe. That descent became my initiation, my death and rebirth. It took away any notion of coping or bypassing; I had no choice but to feel. And through those depths, I became again.
It is one of the greatest honors of my life to now say that Jessi’s death was the greatest gift she ever gave me because through her death, I came back to life. Her passing stripped away who I thought I was and revealed who I truly am. It initiated me into a deeper relationship with her spirit and an expanded experience of her soul all around me. That presence is undeniable. Through her death, I live.

It was through her death that I was guided to my work with grief, seeing that grief itself is one of life’s greatest initiations, from death to rebirth. I began to understand that our capacity to fully grieve is in direct proportion to our soul’s expansion. Grief is not reserved for loss of life alone but exists in the transitions that shape us: from maiden to mother, from dreams that die, from relationships that end, from family we become estranged from. When we allow ourselves to acknowledge the grief woven through all of life, we untether from who we were and step fully into who we are becoming. This truth became the foundation of my calling.
I left my 20-year career in aesthetics, guided only by trust and a knowing that something greater was calling me forward. Every leap since has been a lesson in surrender, faith, and transformation. Today, I stand rooted not only in purpose but in deep love for life, for the human experience, and for the path that continues to unfold.

My approach is anchored in four core pillars that emerged through my own healing journey:
Sacred Stillness cultivates safety within the nervous system and invites deep listening to the body’s wisdom.
Grief as a Portal honors grief as sacred medicine and an initiation into deeper love, meaning, and purpose.
Conscious Change brings awareness to old patterns, self-betrayals, and conditioning so we can choose differently.
Sacred Integration embodies the lessons and insights that arise through healing, weaving them into daily life with intention.
My work is anchored in these four pillars and supported by the wisdom of sacred plant medicines. Alongside trauma-informed healing, energy work, and somatic practices, these medicines serve as allies for remembrance, integration, and the embodiment of wholeness. Through the medicine of presence, compassion, and ceremony, I guide others in remembering their innate wisdom, restoring connection to their body and soul, and reclaiming the truth that healing was never about becoming someone new but returning to who you’ve always been.
All my love,
Danielle
