Danielle was born and raised in California, moving to Portland, Oregon in 2011. With a
background in movement, holistic spa wellness, and mentorship spanning over two decades, her passion is in cultivating intrinsic motivation in others to celebrate their bodies. She is passionate about getting to the root of imbalances and re-establishing harmony. After losing her mom as a teenager to complex chronic diseases, and then her father nine years later to cancer, Danielle poured herself into studying complementary and preventative wellness modalities as part of her grieving journey. A certified Indra Devi yoga teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, and meditation instructor, she also holds certification as a prenatal, labor and delivery doula; is an Ayurvedic postpartum doula, and (former) licensed esthetician. Most recently Danielle has added NASM CPT to her list of certifications.
Danielle is an archer, an avid (amateur) equestrian, and holds a black belt in taekwondo. When she’s not at the gym you can usually find her at the barn with her horse, playing air hockey with her son, or curled up with a cup of black tea, a kitty, and her bunny watching Gilmore Girls.
Danielle is delighted to be a part of the PIF team, and is ready to bring her wisdom,
compassion, and patience to the community.
