Client Testimonials 

The work, in their words. Stories from people Danielle has worked with.

Private Coaching (1:1) Client

"Before working with Dani, I didn't know what it meant to be with my inner child and face my
deepest emotional wounds. I thought my negative limiting beliefs were true.


Dani helped me realize these beliefs were nothing more than a scared, wounded inner child who
goes into fight-or-flight mode to protect her heart whenever she feels scared or threatened.

I was looking for validation and love in everyone except myself. I sought it from partners, felt
abandoned and unworthy, and didn't know what my boundaries were, let alone how to enforce
them in a loving way.


I was stuck in hiding. My ego wanted to keep me small while my higher self longed to live
boldly and authentically.


Through Dani's nurturing and compassionate spirit, I learned to speak to myself with kindness,
befriend my ego instead of fighting it, and recognize when fear and insecurity were running my
thoughts. I finally learned to ask myself what I needed and give it to myself.


Working with Dani helped me realize I am lovable. I am worth it. She gave me the tools to
feel safe, advocate for myself and step into my next level. "Progress over perfection" is now
my mantra
.


Dani is the perfect coach for anyone whose fears, doubts and insecurities are standing between
them and their dreams. She is nurturing, warm and sensitive, especially for overachievers and
over thinkers who struggle with anxiety, guilt or shame but have big ambitions.


She doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Everything she teaches comes from her
own experience. Dani's coaching is a light in the darkness, and I could not recommend her
enough."

"I first met Dani in college during a yoga class that she was teaching. I was drawn by her kind and
welcoming energy and ever since then she has been a mentor to me.

I began taking part in coaching with her because I had hit a wall in traditional therapy. I was
learning skills in therapy but having a difficult time applying them and seeing real change in my
life. I knew Dani would be the perfect coach to help me with this. She is amazing at holding
space and making one feel safe no matter what they share or are feeling.


Prior to working with Coach Dani, I struggled with boundaries, self-esteem, confidence and
direction.


I am grateful to say that our work together has allowed me to understand my relationship with
myself, assert clear boundaries and choose a career path. I am now in nursing school and
considering goals for the next chapter in my life.


Thanks to our work, my life is forever changed. I experience less anxiety around choosing the
"right" path. I have tools that I will use for the rest of my life to help navigate difficult decisions.
I know how to coach myself and, most importantly, I have a positive, loving view of myself
and a higher sense of self-confidence.


Thank you Dani for this investment and thank you to myself for being brave enough to dive into
this vulnerable and difficult work."

"Prior to coaching with Dani, I was constantly anxious. I felt overwhelmed, lonely, powerless
and extremely desperate. I didn't see a future where I could truly be happy.


I feared coaching would bring up things I couldn't cope with, but despite those fears, I signed up for the coaching package and my life changed.


I learned to find safety within myself no matter what life throws at me. I trust that I am looking
out for myself. Instead of punishing myself, I now meet myself with understanding and love. I
embrace my emotions instead of burying, ignoring or fighting them.


Over the course of our work together, I restructured my relationship with myself, re-evaluated
my life and my boundaries changed significantly.


I am excited to live life knowing I've got my own back. I now embrace myself, my life and the
people I meet in a completely different way.


Dani created a safe space for me to explore my mind, body and soul while gently challenging me
to dig deeper without ever feeling overwhelmed. Her loving way of holding space was truly
magical.

If there is even the tiniest thing you struggle with in life, Dani will help you understand what you
and only you need to feel truly alive.


Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dani."

"When I started working with Danielle, I was a few months out from a very low point in my
mental and physical health. My nervous system was not okay. I was having panic attacks daily,
even in my sleep. I had come a long way in talk therapy but struggled to put action behind the
awareness I was learning.


Coach Dani's Metamorphosis Coaching Package gave me a safe space to speak, feel, write and move.


When I struggled to sit still in our sessions, Dani suggested we run in place. When I cried, she
listened to me. The direction of our sessions was up to me, my energy and my needs.


As our sessions went on, we practiced reframing my limiting beliefs. We went inward and
touched stones in my mind I had never overturned. We celebrated ourselves.


My most profound experience was her guidance through a panic attack. She taught me how to sit
with sensations without ascribing meaning to them.


It's been nearly five months since our program ended and I am a completely different person. I
rarely have panic attacks. I feel my body's signals without overanalyzing them. I celebrate myself
daily. I speak up for myself when I can and forgive myself when I can't. I've made massive
progress and I use the tools she gave me every day.


Working with Dani is a loving investment in your future."

"Dani is ALWAYS on your team.


Prior to coaching with Dani, I struggled with self-worth, listening to my intuition and overall
caring for myself.

She helped me break through these by beginning with putting myself first and helping me
understand my potential and strengths. She helped me see what I couldn't see—what was always inside of me but I didn't know how to connect the dots.


Additionally, she helped me learn how to listen to myself and my intuition, feeling what is right,
what I need and what is good for me.


Lastly, she helped me understand how to care for myself in a better, easier way that's sustainable for everyday life.


I now have a better self-concept, an appreciation for the strength I previously couldn't find and an overall solid relationship with the most important person—myself.


Dani is always cheering for you and, from her own experience, exploration and training, her
knowledge and impact are unparalleled."

The Empowered You Group Course 

"Partaking in The Empowered You is one of the best decisions I have made in my adult life.


Enrolling represented a commitment to myself: to my well-being, my growth and mindset, and
most importantly to my sense of self. The weeks that followed that decision did not disappoint.


The Empowered You cultivated a strong foundation for the ever-lasting project that is self-
love.
It was structured yet open, challenging yet mindful, and gentle but demanding—demanding
that we show up and bring our full hearts to the table and sessions just as we were.


As a coach, Dani is someone we all entrusted with our hearts and our wounds. Her compassion,
vulnerability and knowledge are what made this possible.


On a practical level, her holistic approach made me feel like I was getting so much out of every
single class. The reflective questions had me coming to new realizations throughout the week
leading into the next session. The external resources and homework kept me focused throughout
the journey and continue to support me as I put these lessons into practice.


There was so much thought and care put into the curriculum and into fostering a safe
environment where everyone could show up as their truest self.

There were also so many practical, solution-oriented methods and techniques that are now
part of my life toolbox forever. I am eager to implement them in my everyday life.


Last thing I'll say: I'm a New Yorker, skeptical, a tech-working woman of color, and this
grounded me in ways I could have never imagined. I'm so thankful to have started this work and that Dani held our hands all the way through to the other side."

The Empowered You Group Course 

"The Empowered You was the best thing I did in 2022!


I was initially very excited to learn about a forum like this but was so close to not joining
because of financial reasons. However, joining The Empowered You became a true testament to
prioritizing myself, my healing journey and my mental health.


It was absolutely worth it.


The program gave me a transparent, loving community, and that is something so difficult to
experience in everyday life. I was surrounded by compassionate people who made me feel safe.
It helped me realize that I want to continue surrounding myself with loving people because I
finally felt like I could truly be myself.


I know... duh, right?


But I am so used to making sure everyone else around me feels okay (hello, people-pleaser) that
I lost sight of myself and struggled to have boundaries with the people I loved.

 

Being part of a loving community that gathered every week helped me develop skills like
expressing boundaries through healthy communication, and that has been life-changing for me.


I genuinely believe every single person in my cohort was meant to meet through The
Empowered You. Every week someone would share something that deeply resonated with me
and stayed with me long after the session ended.


It was incredibly reassuring to hear complete strangers express the same fears, struggles and
emotions I had carried for so long.


For the first time, I felt less alone in my journey toward building confidence and creating
the life I truly want to live.

Danielle, you are such a blessing and I am so grateful we reconnected. Thank you for your
compassion, your understanding and the safe space you created for all of us.


Healing is never linear, but The Empowered You has been one of the biggest catalysts in my
healing journey."

"So much has happened this year, I don't even know where to start.


Tearing my ACL was the first thing that tore my world apart. When soccer and fitness are your
favorite things to do, losing them really feels more like losing yourself. Add to that a few
breakups, a new job and experiencing anxiety like never before, and it felt like my whole life
flipped upside down after that one ligament tore.


I was forced to slow down and actually just be. To sit with myself and my emotions and finally
face me.


I'm not sure why this was something I was so afraid of, but it's as if for almost 30 years I had avoided self-love. I was always asking others to love me and believing they could make me
whole, that I was only half and needed someone else to com
plete me.


I looked for love in all the wrong places. I stayed longer than I should have in relationships that
weren't right with people who could never make me feel the happiness I was searching for.


Because little did I know, what I had been looking for all along was my own love.


It seems so simple—almost too good to be true—that everything you need is already inside of
you.


But it isn't easy.
It's actually hard as hell.


To be honest, I'm not sure I would have started this journey without my friend Danielle.


I knew I needed to do the work, but I didn't know how. It's as if she somehow heard my cries for help through the universe, offering me her kindness and support exactly when I needed it most, at exactly the right time, even from an entirely different coast.


I'll admit I was skeptical at first. I'd never done anything like this before. But something about it felt like an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

She made me feel seen and heard and introduced me to all of you.


But little did I know, she actually introduced me to me, too.


From Little Me, to shadow work, to manifesting our dreams, we've been on this healing journey together for what feels like both a lifetime and the blink of an eye.


Thinking about it being over makes me want to cry.
But although I'm sad, these are also happy tears because I know the impact of this course will stay with me for years.


Who knew I could make such deep soul connections with people I'd never met, all through a
virtual program?


I'm so incredibly thankful to have met all of you. I guess it's true what they say...

 

Timing really is divine."
