WHO I SERVE
I support women navigating the impact of betrayal, helping them regain their footing and sense of self. I also work with couples seeking to reconnect and rebuild what has been fractured. With clarity and compassion, I serve as a bridge — helping them move toward one another or, when needed, release with grace.
mY MISSION
To guide women through a journey of hope and healing beyond betrayal — helping them re-establish trust,
gently own their story, live true to who they are, and come home to peace and purpose.
mY vision
A world where hearts are restored, lives transformed, and healing flows from the inside out—mending relationships,
reclaiming peace, and replacing division with truth and connection.
I’ve been in similar shoes
The unthinkable happened AND Trust was broken.
The emotional foundations on which my relationship was built was blown to smithereens.
I was betrayed by someone I trusted, loved, and counted on.
Words alone can’t quite describe the hurt and heartache.
I felt shaken, scared, confused, and angry.
a myriad of questions ran through my mind.
Why me?
How could this happen?
Will we make it through this nightmare?
burned but not destroyed
Like you, I’ve known betrayal. I’ve had my heart broken and my world turned upside down. I’ve felt lost, confused, overwhelmed — and at times questioned everyone and everything. I’ve been there, done that, and lived through even more.
For twenty years, I was married and a stay-at-home mom of two. From the outside, everything appeared fine. But behind closed doors, the impact of betrayal left me questioning all I knew and all I believed.
When the unthinkable came to light, I knew my life would never be the same. My brain went foggy, my heart felt like it stopped beating, my throat tightened, my breath turned shallow, and my emotions went into lockdown. I was in survival mode.
It sucked…everything about it sucked…big time.
The fallout was devastating. As I sifted through the debris and the piles of lies, I wished it would all just disappear. But it didn’t. I learned that the only way to heal was to move through the pain — to face what was real and what was not. Cutting through old conditioning, mind games, societal noise, and my own hang-ups was no walk in the park… and yet, it was absolutely worth it.
The work was messy, and at times I resisted.
The work was messy, and at times, I resisted it. Where I am today didn’t happen overnight — though I sure wished it could have. There was no magic wand, no shortcut through the pain. Every thought, belief, and layer of faith was tested, stretched, and reshaped. The grooves ran deep — carved by years of habit and survival. Thank God for the gift of neuroplasticity and the mind’s incredible capacity to renew.
In time, a gentle unraveling began. I moved from the unreal to the real, from darkness into light. There were moments of truth, countless tears, grace upon grace. More unraveling. Anger released. Forgiveness found. So much has happened. So much has changed. And the journey continues — only now, in a different light.
Today, I can say with deep conviction that what were once some of my darkest moments now fuel my mission: to walk alongside others traveling this same rugged road toward healing and wholeness.

ME ON THE OTHER SIDE
No question about it, my life did not turn out how I had expected nor imagined. It was however, a life lived and experienced, and I am who I am today because of the totality of it all.
I’ve learned how to feel and release the pain I felt both inside and out. I’ve learned how to make peace with the past and embrace the present. I’ve settled back into parts of me that I thought were lost or forgotten. I remain open and accountable to my own recovery and daily practice. And today, I now have the opportunity to offer encouragement and guidance to others walking down a similar path.
Using a compassion-based approach and soulful inquiry, I integrate my coaching skills with several holistic wellness practices, combined with the neuroscience of trauma and addiction. My intention is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and find peace in the midst of life’s challenging moments. My work is distinctive and tailored to meet you right where you're at, keeping you unstuck and moving forward so you can learn to: trust your intuition, restore confidence and self-esteem, quiet the incessant mind chatter, get clear on your next steps, and experience being more grounded and rooted in life and love from a place of authenticity and wholeness.

Dani creates space for conversation and heartfelt connection that welcomes the opportunity for positive change. I've been dealing with some personal challenges and her support through these times made me feel empowered. I took accountability for what I do have control over in my life and have made progress to move forward in my healing process. Her ability to communicate clearly and effectively, tap into her intuition, and be fully present for others are her greatest assets! Thank you so much for your guidance. I appreciate you immensely.

A few Random Tidbits
I love all things Italian.
I own a Wire Fox Terrier… a breed I was drawn to since childhood. His name is Enzo.
I love Jesus AND occasionally use the “f” word.
I’m not a fan of flying and yet have flown to Italy to visit family and India to study with one of my teachers…and survived.
I’m quite picky about how my lattes are made and am giddy over latte art. Having actual art in my cup is simply brilliant!
My favorite pastime is reading and being in nature - I am particularly drawn to water due to my fire-like disposition.
I adore comedians with impeccable timing who convey their material in such a way that has me laughing so hard it brings me to tears.
Let’s rise above the ashes, heal, grow strong, and shine bright.
Remembering that even in our darkest moments,
hope still exists… always!

Special Acknowledgments: I owe my life to God, first and foremost - for His abounding love, compassion, and grace. I am forever changed by the teachings of Jesus and Spirit’s gentle whispers. To my spiritual teachers and mentors, thank you for being beacons in the night. The teachings and tools you passed on to me helped me find my way back home and now allow me to help others. To those family members and friends who believed in me, gave me space to grow, and continue to support me, I love and appreciate you immensely. And to my husband, Michael, for his unfailing love, support, and patience, giving his not so patient Italian wife time to heal and explore.
