PHILOSOPHY

Danielle feels that good health equals freedom and is the foundation for everything in life. She has experienced the power of a plant-based, nutrient rich diet and regular activity in her own healing process and empathizes with others in their struggles to improve their health. She specializes in translating complex, science-based health information into simplified, real-life application in a collaborative format. Compassion and deep listening skills help provide the path to help individuals overcome barriers, achieve self-discovery, and produce self-empowerment to lead a healthy lifestyle.

PERSONAL LIFE

When Danielle doesn’t have her nose in a book, she volunteers at a local animal shelter, dabbles as an amateur landscape and macro photographer, enjoys gardening, mosaics, Zumba and running. Her and her husband love traveling the globe and often go on bicycle rides which includes carting along their dog (Frannie) and bird (Harley).
