The Journey Back to You: My Path as a Shamanic Practitioner

Hi, I’m Danielle, and I want to start with a simple question: When was the last time you

felt truly at home within yourself? Not just “doing fine” or “getting by,” but deeply

connected to the part of you that knows exactly who you are and what you’re here for.

If it’s been a while, trust me—you’re not alone. So many of us get caught in the whirlwind

of life, numbing out or running on autopilot just to keep up. But here’s what I’ve learned:

the way back to yourself isn’t somewhere outside of you. It’s already within—you just

need the space to find it.

How I Got Here

Honestly, I didn’t always know this. I wasn’t grounded or aligned or any of the things

people associate with healing. I was the opposite—always chasing the next thing, always

looking for answers outside myself. At 19, I was completely ungrounded, following the

crowd, and terrified of taking a step forward unless I knew it would work out perfectly.

Then came the breaking point. The trauma I didn’t realize I was carrying had piled up,

and I found myself searching for something—I didn’t even know what. That’s when I

stumbled across a shamanic practitioner. I had no idea what to expect. Honestly, I

thought she’d sit me down and tell me my future: that I’d meet the love of my life, buy a

house, and everything would just work out. LOL!

Instead, she held a sacred space for me to face myself—my shadows, my patterns, my

triggers. It wasn’t what I was looking for, but it was exactly what I needed. For the first

time, I saw the patterns of my choices, the pain I was holding, and the power I had to

transform them—embracing radical self-acceptance along the way.

That was the moment everything changed.

What I Do

Now, I offer that same sacred space to others, because I know how life-changing it can

be. My work is about helping you reconnect with yourself—your energy, your truth, and

your deepest potential.

Here’s what that looks like:

● Shamanic Healing: Releasing the heavy energy that keeps you stuck and

realigning you with clarity and purpose.

● Sound Healing: Using the vibrations of crystal bowls and drumming to bring you

into a state of deep rest and energetic balance.

● Guided Journeys: Whether it’s inner child work, shadow exploration, or

connecting with your spiritual guides, these journeys help you access parts of

yourself you’ve forgotten or set aside.

Each 1:1 or group session is a blend of ancient wisdom and practical tools, designed to

meet you exactly where you are. It’s not about “fixing” anything; it’s about uncovering the

strength and beauty that’s been within you all along.

Why It Matters

We live in a world that glorifies hustle and tells us to push through everything—our

exhaustion, our intuition, even our own needs. It’s no wonder so many of us feel drained,

disconnected, or unsure of what’s next.

My work is a radical departure from all of that. It’s about creating stillness in the chaos,

space in the overwhelm, and trust in the unknown. Healing is about more than feeling

better—it’s about coming home to yourself in a way that changes everything.

When you allow yourself to pause, to breathe, and to surrender, you create the space for

the universe to work its magic. The shifts might not always be visible at first, but trust

me—they’re happening.

A Space for You

This work isn’t just for the deeply spiritual or those who have it all figured out. It’s for

anyone who feels like they’ve been giving too much of themselves and are ready to take

some of that energy back. It’s for empaths, caregivers, seekers, and anyone who’s tired of

running on empty.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Healing isn’t about becoming someone

new—it’s about remembering who you’ve been all along. And wherever you are on your

journey, there’s space for you here.

So take a breath. Let go of what you think healing “should” look like. This is your time to

reconnect, realign, and return to yourself. The path forward always begins with you.

With love and light,

Danielle

I'm Danielle, an intuitive healer rooted in Native American and Peruvian Shamanic techniques, blending ancient wisdom with modern tools to guide you through the messy, beautiful journey of healing. I've felt the weight of life's struggles, the energy of others, and the patterns that seem impossible to break—and I'm still learning how to navigate it all. I've learned that healing isn't a destination; it's a continuous cycle of shedding what no longer serves and returning home to yourself.

​

My passion is helping others understand their energy, release what isn't theirs, and call in what they need to heal and grow. It's all about finding balance—embracing both light and shadow, grounding the spiritual into the physical, and reclaiming the parts of yourself that have been lost along the way.

I believe life is an ebb and flow—full of highs and lows—and through it, we have the opportunity to stay aligned. The journey teaches us to navigate its complexities with more ease and confidence, moving through both the beautiful and challenging moments. When you're aligned with your true self, life feels more authentic and free.

When I’m not supporting others, you’ll find me at home, connecting with friends and family, or diving into my own growth and healing. I believe we’re all in this together—learning, growing, and transforming as we go. And I’m here to walk alongside you, guiding you back to the peace, clarity, and power that’s always been inside you.
