days until our next cohort
A 12-week sacred group program for women looking to acknowledge soul wounds and create a rich relationship with their interior spaces by reaching into the imaginal somatic experience in order to provoke the souls movement towards integration, healing, and wholeness.
BORN
TO HEAL
One of my professors once quoted James Hillman who said,
"Maybe we fall apart for the sake of the parts.”
​
Have you ever considered that the parts of us that are in pain and suffering force us to fragment in order to meet them and get to know them more intimately?
​
Have you ever had someone hold enough space for the TRUTH of that experience in your life?
Or do they jump to FIXING you or taking away the pain before the wisdom is alchemized?
Perhaps the problem is not the pain and suffering itself, but the a poor relationship to the fantasies that we hold in regard to the pain and suffering.
​
If we view any struggle as abnormal, then we suffer it more profoundly, more deeply, less meaningfully.
The goal of this course is to normalize the sufferings of being a human and get into deeper understanding of the necessity of what we are experiencing.
Then, we can move into the greater myth that is unfolding in our lives. ​​
​
This is an inclusive journey towards soul - that is rich, empowered, connected, and meaningful.
Turning towards soul
The word therapy has origins as the Greek word therapeia, meaning, “care” or “service.”
This course is a non traditional group approach to psycho-therapeia implying the mission here is to care and serve the imaginative world of soul.
It is this attention and care to the inherent falling apart of soul that we become nourished feel more engaged and alive.
​
Author Thomas Moore lists a few things that soul needs:
A sense of home
Deep friendships
Casual dialogue
A poetic and metaphorical appreciation for words and images
Attention to dreams
An intimate relationship with nature
Memory via storytelling and
Objects and rituals that invoke deep meaning and creativity
​
Born to Heal aims to prioritize these non-negotiables of soul.
Let's face it, in our culture the things mentioned above have often been portrayed as unpredictable, too emotional, too slow, not scientific enough, useless, and most unfortunately...a weakness.
So, to make up for that, you’ve likely sought out success in the fast paced world by DOING more and unconsciously walking farther AWAY from soul.
​​​
You may choose mentors, careers, and relationships that validate your intellect, your sense of purpose, and your ambitions to feel a sense of security, direction, and success.
​
You see yourself doing it.
You have a family, you climb the ladder, you get the degrees or the job positions and you feel POWERFUL...until you don't anymore.
​
You may be asking yourself, "Okay, I've arrived. So, what's next?"
You get to the point where you focused so much on "doing" and now it feels like anything that is not "doing" holds no intrinsic value.
​
You begin to feel unworthy of anything outside your material success or your achievements.
​
You don't know how to stop, or say no, and the guilt you feel from letting others down is gut-wrenching.
What's really happening here?
Right now, the ideas of success & achievement you thought to be true have only left you empty.
You wonder...
Why have your patterns of overdoing, striving, and perfectionism given you an impending feeling of doom?
Now that anxiety has crept up on you, why does it feel like you have a massive shadow of heaviness looming over you at all times?
​
Maybe you're asking...
​
"What is this all for? I've achieved everything I set out to achieve and I feel absolutely empty. Why?"
​
"I assumed that to be successful, I had to be sharp, quick, and logical and why do I feel like there is an emptiness in my heart?"
"​I misjudged the decision to play the game of life by everyone else's rules and I have deeply disregarded my own needs.
What do I need?"
"​I have gotten things done through logic and efficiency, but I have sacrificed my health, my desires, my intuition, and the trust in myself. How do I reclaim this?"​
"When I look inside myself, I do not know who is there and a deep feeling of isolation sets in."
"Why do I feel so lonely? Why do I feel betrayed? WHO AM I?"
​
You have gotten things done through logic and efficiency, but you sacrificed your health, your desires, your intuition, and the trust in yourself to get there.
​
This feeling is a realization that we have become disconnected from soul.
If any of this is sounding familiar, I'm here to tell you...
THESE ARE THE SEEDS OF YOUR RECLAMATION.
You KNOW the way you’re living isn’t working, but you’re also unsure how to actually move through the things that keep you stuck in “striving mode” and feeling unworthy:
Cultivating the Wounded Healer
What if I told you,
Maybe you aren’t avoiding the process…
Maybe you are in a process that takes time…lifetimes in fact.
As an imperfect human, there is never a time in which we get to a point of absolute knowing.
That implies that there will be moments along the way in which we notice something about ourselves that we “should” do better or that we “should know how to navigate” and we get overwhelmed with how poorly we are navigating it.
Those are the moments, if we aren’t aware, we tend to get consumed and swallowed by judgement or we constrict ourselves into a diagnostic personality type (“it’s just my avoidant attachment style, it’s because I am a INFJ, an enneagram 8, etc).
These are the moments of rich, potent opportunity.
In those moments in which we know better and we do not do better, we must stop, rest, and notice WHAT is happening in those moments.
That is the place where we will find the truth, we will find soul, if we can have an adequate perspective.
In those moments,
we are anxious,
we are sad,
we are (insert any inner experience here),
but most often, we are afraid of looking towards soul.
Because soul asks us to shed, to experience deaths and rebirth, to stay, to slow, and to tend.
Learning to give more attention, space, and interaction with those experiences contributes an invaluable richness to the inner process of growth.
The process then opens a little bit more.
And we take the next baby step.
And that’s all we can do...
The content in Born to Heal is the material I implemented during my rock bottom confrontation with soul and I continue to implement and evolve as I learn and deepen my relationship with psyche.
​
It includes tools and skills to access your feelings and emotions, access and dialogue with the inner parts, dream tending, integration of shadows and complexes with forms of courage, compassion, grace, and acceptance, as well as practices for embodied learning.
​
This transformation is focused on creating movement from the victimized human to the wounded healer.
This course is meant to go deep and the material extends far beyond our 12 weeks together.
Here’s the truth:
This course is not a quick guide to fix your life’s problems, but is a deep and rich exploration of what psyche is trying to unfold and speak through you.
​
The work it takes to reach the restoration, flow, and richness of soul requires active faith, courage, and a whole lot of honesty with yourself.
We are aiming for spontaneous insights and inspiration as well as psychic movement,
rather than quick fixes, answers, or explanations.
This involves patience, time, and reflection to really tend to the nooks and crannies of the soul.
But the work is worth it to...
-
​Express yourself authentically.
​
-
Learn how to speak up, take up space and express and communicate needs.
​
-
Give yourself permission to be an empowered woman that understands her innate worthiness.
​
-
Make the transition from surviving to thriving, and shedding identities, roles, and expectations that no longer serve the soul.
​
-
Learn how to establish and communicate healthy boundaries.
​
-
Connect to the pantheon of your inner characters (like the inner critic) and learn how to be more kind and compassionate to yourself.
​
-
Nurture and create space for your sensitive inner child.
​
-
Find safety in your body, mind, heart, home, and relationships.
Together, you and I, as well as the community inside Born to Heal, can step into these new territories with grace -
and feel immensely supported and safe as you do so.
“Honestly, investing in yourself through this course is priceless and the most rewarding. You will learn so much about yourself in one of the safest containers you could possibly imagine. Danielle has a variety of ways for you to reach out for support, it really allows you to find which way is most comfortable for you. You will be fully supported through your journey.”
— Gen
“If you've been feeling like you've run out of energy, if you're feeling unfulfilled and like others are constantly draining you, this course will teach you how to have a better relationship with yourself and gain confidence and understanding around why you're doing what you're doing. Then you're given the tools and the choice to change the way you've been operating. It's absolutely worth it and it will change your outlook on life regardless no matter what level of experience you have with doing inner work.”-
— Allison
INTRODUCING...
Born to Heal
The 12-week program that amplifies the spirit of relationship in order to nourish outer relationships, while simultaneously cultivating a deep, rich, and meaningful inner relationship with soul.
This puts you in right relationship to the greater unfolding of your life's story.
What if I told you that you are a complex being made up of many parts?
You have parts that desire perfection, you have parts that are bitchy, you have parts of you that are lovable...there is so much to you and your being.
​
We will gently and compassionately build relationships with the nuanced realms of the unconscious through approaches called shadow work, active imagination dialogue, and dream tending.
Collectively, this will help you become aware of and be more inclusive of all parts of yourself, as well as heal and integrate the patterns that cause you to meaninglessly suffer.
​
Here's how it works:
We will methodically ORIENT and understand present and past patterns of behavior and fantasies.
We will compassionately CONNECT and integrate them into your everyday life.
​
We will EMBODY. We learn to navigate the inner and outer realms of psyche with more ease.

Hi friends, I'm Danielle
Doctor of Physical Therapy turned integrative embodiment coach and I dedicate my life to mirroring, guiding, and walking individuals back to a life that is reflective of his or her soul's path.
I spent most of my life suppressing/repressing my needs, desires, and true passions for things and systems outside of myself. I got the degree and felt unfulfilled.
I had the relationship, again, unfulfilled. Had the following, still unfulfilled.
Then, I finally realized that until I stopped searching outside of myself, I would never feel a sense of fulfillment.
After a dark night of the soul, my previous business collapsing, and attaining a doctoral degree that left me feeling lifeless, I decided it was time to walk myself home.
The last few years of my life have surrounded unlearning what isn't mine, integrating what is, and stepping towards the life I desire. Healing, to me, is about actively addressing your life with an "eyes open" compassionate approach.
It requires grace, surrender, acceptance, responsibility, devotion, and a true desire to change.
I have taken the steps thus far to walk towards and embody the life that represents more ease, more grace, and more connectedness to all of humanity.
After leaving physical therapy to pursue my true path, I have been working with individuals from all walks of life to become more embodied representations of the humans they truly want to be.
This isn't about rejecting the parts of you that you hate, it is about loving all of you and allowing more space for you to exist. It's about a more unconditional presence for yourself.
I can't wait for YOU to be one of these individuals I work with next.
