The Work
Healing that lives
in the body
I work with people who are ready to stop managing their pain and start truly moving through it. Drawing on Compassionate Inquiry, parts work, and somatic frameworks, I help you understand your nervous system's patterns — and gently, steadily, change them.
About Danette
A path rooted in lived experience
I work with people who understand themselves but still can't stop the spiral.
You know your patterns. You can name your triggers, trace them back. And still — when it happens, you're right back there. Flooded. Shut down. Saying the thing you swore you wouldn't say.
That's not a failure of awareness. That's a body that hasn't felt safe enough to change.
There's a difference between understanding your pain and being able to be with it. Most of us were never taught the second part. We learned to think about what we feel. We were never shown how to actually feel it.
My own journey through somatic work transformed how I relate to myself, my relationships, and the world. That experience is what drives me to hold space for others — with deep care, patience, and honesty. Whether we work together one-on-one or in a group setting, my intention is always the same: to help you come home to yourself.
How We Work Together
What I offer
1:1 Somatic Coaching
Personalized sessions that go beneath the story to meet what your body has been holding — with care, not force.
Inner Child Work
Parts-based exploration to reconnect with younger parts of yourself that are still waiting to feel safe and seen.
Nervous System Support
Practical tools for regulation — so you can move through activation, not just survive it.
Group Facilitation
Ceremonial and container-based group experiences rooted in somatic awareness and collective healing.
Kind Words
What clients say
I have worked with Danette at least 10 times now. Each session has left me with deep healing within. Her practice and support is unique to any other work I've done. It's literally changed my life, and I would highly recommend Danette and compassionate inquiry to anyone.
— Coaching Client
Danette has guided me in such a strong but gentle way. I've seen and healed so many deep painful wounds, as a result of her wonderful guidance. She brings such a caring and insightful approach, that felt very seen and heard. I highly recommend Danette as a therapist or guide for the one who is wanting to know and heal oneself.
— Coaching Client
Danette has a calmness/stillness about her that makes me feel like there is nothing more important to her than listening to me. I so appreciate her feedback and guidance, her deep insight and her willingness to share her own experience. I'm truly grateful that she is part of my healing.
— Coaching Client
I have been working with Danette for over 4 years now and the self-awareness and personal growth I've had is truly remarkable. She comes with such kindness and gentleness to every version of me. She has taught me how to be gentle with myself, hold space for myself, and it has let me regain my power. There is no one I could give more credit to for my personal growth — she now helps my boyfriend, several friends, and even my younger daughter.
