I suppose the easiest way to describe Danielle’s job would be “life coach” however, I’ve never felt that title really does her justice. There are many people out there offering spiritual/coaching services but in this growing “industry” I believe Danielle is unique. To me she has been a sister, a friend and a mentor all rolled into one. I can be myself with her without any fear of judgment. I can rely on her to be completely authentic with me at all times, whether celebrating my achievements or giving me a gentle kick in the ass when I’m avoiding things I shouldn’t be. Her commitment and passion for what she does is 100% genuine and comes from a desire to truly help people become their best selves and get the most of out of their lives.
Danielle provides a healthy mix of both spiritual and human advice. Her spiritual gifts enhance the experience as they allow her to feel into what you’re going through and provide comfort and reassurance, even at times when I haven’t told her I needed it.
As far as what I have gained, this one is difficult to answer only because I worry I don’t have the words to fully express everything she has done for me. At the beginning of my time with Danielle I was terrified of using my voice. I’m a true blue introvert and have been painfully shy all of my life. Just committing to working with her was a huge step for me, and for the first few months I struggled to tell her what I was feeling or what I needed. This is where her spiritual gifts come in because despite me often not being able to vocalise what I was feeling she was always able to help me. Through her help and patience I have finally found my voice.
I have gone from being a dedicated people-pleaser to finally living for myself. From being constantly afraid of being seen to standing confidently in my own light. From obsessing over other people’s opinions of me to being unapologetically myself. From hating who I was to loving myself, quirks and all. While working with Danielle I have become stronger, confident, comfortable and proud of who I am. I have accepted myself and learned to love things about myself that I never thought I would.
My mindset has changed entirely, I still have moments when I’m a little down or frustrated about things but we will always have those moments, that’s what life and the human experience is about. Danielle has given me the tools I need to work through these times and not allow them to dominate my thoughts the way they once did. I have changed from someone with a constantly negative mindset and an extremely bleak outlook on life to being content and grateful for all that I have and excited for my future.
Of course I had to work for this too, and this is where I would like to say that working with Danielle is a partnership that you both commit to. That means that while she provided guidance, support and encouragement, I also had to do my part. This journey and doing the inner work can be messy, uncomfortable and sometimes painful and there may be times when you want to run. But Danielle will be there to provide you with love and support through everything.
I’m almost at the end of my “professional” relationship with Danielle because I’ve gotten to the stage where I don’t need as much support, which is what Danielle wants for all her clients. Again this is where I feel she is unique. She isn’t pushy with her service (if that’s the right word) and she isn’t looking for life-long clients. Danielle’s aim is to help people get to a stage where they are able to live comfortably, confidently and able to help themselves. She has helped me connect with my inner guidance system and learn to trust myself.
Danielle has become such an important person in my life that speaking about the end of our “professional” relationship always makes me emotional even though I know it’s not an ending, it’s just changing a little. And as I move onto the next stage of my journey, it helps to know that someone else is about to start their incredible journey with her.
I truly believe I would not have gotten to the place I have if it wasn’t for Danielle. If you are ready to choose yourself and go on this journey then I really cannot recommend her enough. She’s become one of my closest friends and knows me better than anyone else does. I’ve gained a true friend for life and that is something I will be forever grateful for.
