Hi, I’m Danielle… Before I ever taught regulation, I dissociated through most of my life.

I’m a Complex Trauma Recovery Coach with a master’s in counseling and a background in psychology, neuroscience, and the body’s sacred intelligence.

But what I really do?

I help people who’ve lived in freeze, fawn, shutdown, and survival-mode finally come back to themselves (+ their partners) - not through force, but through felt safety, emotional reclamation and nervous system repair that actually works.

My work is where somatics meets soul, where trauma recovery stops being conceptual and starts being real, raw, and embodied.

If you’ve ever felt too broken, too sensitive, too crazy, too reactive - you’re in the right place.

→ You don’t need to be calm to be healed. You just need the capacity to be with yourself - in the mess, in the fire, in the body you tried to escape from.

That’s what this work is about:

🖤 Wholeness without perfection.
🖤 Healing without shame.
🖤 Regulation that sticks.


My Story

At 17, I was kicked out of my home.
Not with a suitcase, just overwhelming shame… and a garbage bag.
I found refuge with the neighborhood drug dealer because I had nowhere else to go.
No safe place to land.

I was disowned. Disconnected. Dissociating more days than not.

I dropped out of high school. Lost my sense of direction. Used drugs to numb the ache in my chest.
And lived in a body that felt like it had already left the building.

I spiralled into survival, not because I was reckless, but because it was the only thing my nervous system knew.
I endured betrayal trauma, sexual trauma, emotional abandonment.
And somewhere along the way, I decided I must be the problem.

That if I was this frozen, this reactive, this unreachable…
maybe I was just broken.

But underneath all of it,
there was still this quiet, untouchable knowing in me that said:
You’re not as f’d up as you feel.

And that quiet yet crisp whisper…
is what saved me.

My healing didn’t start with an overnight breakthrough.
But slowly piecing together the parts of me that fragmented, restoring safety + repairing my inner world …
And slowly, I started to feel safe enough to be in my body again.

The turning point?
A full-blown, body-splitting kundalini awakening that cracked open layers of trauma I didn’t even know were still inside me.
It didn’t “fix” me, it undid me… well, what I thought was me…
And through that unraveling…
I started to find myself again.

Since then, I’ve rebuilt from the inside out.

I’ve learned to regulate what used to shut me down.
I’ve reconnected with parts of myself I thought were gone forever.
And I’ve turned this process, this slow, messy, sacred reclamation, into the work I now do with others… through my Defragmenting Blueprint.

I hold space for the ones who think they’re too much, not enough and anywhere in between.
The ones who perform calm but feel chaos inside.
The ones who want to stop analyzing and start actually feeling.

Today, I’m a Complex Trauma Recovery Coach with a Master’s in Counseling, a background in neuroscience + psychology, and lived experience that no degree could ever teach.

I combine nervous system work, somatics, integrative attachment repair, emotional processing, and deep soul-led healing to help people come home to themselves.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before you had to fragment to survive.

You’re not too broken.
You’re not too much.
You’re not behind.

You’re just thawing.
And it’s time to partner with your nervous system so that you can come back.

Right here, with all of us.
