Danielle has a unique background for which she has become known as a unicorn in the women’s health space.  After ten years practicing conventional medicine she shifted her focus + pursued certification as a FDN-P where she now helps women (+ some men) optimize their health through lifestyle + deep dives into their health.

She is also a certified fertility educator, masters level mental health therapist, PNL1 certified nutrition coach + in a prior life spent five years as a personal trainer. You can see where the unicorn term comes from. She specializes in helping women understand where they are + helps guide them to see the steps they need to take to get where they want to be + feel the way they want to feel. 

She is the founder of her company, Empowered Mind + Body as well as co-founder of Unconventional Collaborative, a virtual mastermind to help anyone in the health + wellness space elevate their practice.

She is a human of authentic chaos, lover of dogs, all things outdoors, movement, an enneagram 8w7 + avid trip planner. She is perpetually in search of the optimal health. And what she can tell you is that definition will continually change through seasons of life, but will likely continually include regulating your nervous system, quality connection, play, movement  + good sleep.
