Hello Lovely,
I wish you could see the smile on my face as I type this...
Truly, what a beautiful dream it is to be in the here and now with you. Of all the possibilities that exist in time and space, somehow, our paths have crossed in a deeply meaningful way, and all of that has led to this moment. To this offering. In other words -- You are here on purpose.
Every bit of what you are about to read is infused with care, consideration, and maybe most of all Lushness... Because especially now, especially when - Lushness is the medicine we need.

When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for. This comes with much love and a prayer that you remember who you came from, and why you came to this beautiful, needful Earth.
- Dr. Clarrissa Pinkola Estes
a common thread is showing up in our sessions and conversations, a thread that is really a longing, a longing that is really a need…
You are powerful, accomplished, and courageous. You’ve made amazing things happen in your world and in the world—you’re driven by your desire to serve, express, and make a difference.
You care about your legacy and impact, you’re not just here for the short game. And you’re proud of who you are.
…And lately, you feel a yearning, an ache, an edge.
Something’s nudging you. Sometimes it’s a whisper, and sometimes a scream — there is something else for you.
Something more accurate, more alive, and even more aligned with the current and evolving you.
You are, in many ways, at the top of your game, and you could keep doing what you’re doing, and on many fronts, you’d be fine.
But fine is not what you’re here for.
Regardless of how far you’ve come and how deep you’ve gone, a more profound and different kind of hunger continues to emerge. One that can’t easily be satisfied by only achieving measurable goals.
Inside, things often feel liminal these days… in the midst and mist of becoming. Maybe, like me, you have days where you are the caterpillar, the goo, and the butterfly, all before noon.
You are standing at a threshold.
And thresholds need tending.
Outside, you may be in the messy (and juicy and sweet) middle… with caregiving needs changing, body needs changing, and even your environment changing. (or needing to change).
And no matter how big and demanding life is being right now, or how simple and manageable it all is – Something hard to name is beckoning you to go deeper, get weirder, reclaim (or claim for the first time), rewild (or wild for the first time), really go there.
Go where exactly? Truth is, we don’t quite know yet.
What you do know is that on your deathbed, you want to be absolutely sure that you did what you came here to do. That you lived your whole and most entire life. That you didn’t hold back. That you didn’t leave anything on the table. That you unmasked. That you were unapologetically you. That you didn’t stop at the midway point when the world was saying “It’s time for you to quiet down now”. And instead, you felt for the fire and breathed life into that.

Lush Life Collective stems from a shared calling. Some of you directly asked me for it (thank you for that). And I too recognize the real need for a guided journey that fosters not only professional, financial, and vocational growth but soul-rich personal fulfillment, spaciousness, and satisfiability. A space specifically designed for women who have reached a certain level of accomplishment, not just in the material sense but in terms of self-awareness. This is why YOU are here reading these words.
Lush Life Collective is not for everybody, but for those whom it is for, it will be exhilarating and substantial.

Lush Life Collective is
An alive, tactical, sensorial, relational, experiential, journey designed to bring you closer to who you are now and who you are becoming.
Lush Life Collective is born from and informed by my lived experience, my passion, my own soul’s yearning, and the collective wisdom of every beautiful human who has shared their journey with me (you included), as well as from the elders, wisdom holders, and teachers I am honored to learn from and work with.
LLC is a 10-month experience designed to nourish your spirit, enliven your soul, and support you in cultivating conditions for thriving as you evolve.

We begin in gently in the deep of winter…
Next, we’ll come together for our first call on January 9th. You’ll have time to take in your welcome materials and custom treasures and teachings that have been sent to you without overcrowding your calendar. You’ll also be able to schedule your first 1:1 session with me.
Then, from February through September, we will meet twice a month over Zoom with our full group. A right-size circle of inspiring, bold visionaries who are on a shared journey and in a similar season of life devoted to living their fullest, truest lives and bringing their most potent expression forward.
I will share ancient, timeless myths, archetypes, and practices that unlock aspects of your soul journey. Stories are spells. When stories are shared in this way—they become part of us, shaping and informing our lives and minds in exciting and meaningful ways.
Those nights you toss and turn wondering what keeps waking you—that’s the territory we’ll explore. Not simply to solve your insomnia and fatigue (though that may happen) but to learn how to mine for the gold that lives in the dark and is waiting for you to claim it.
Throughout the program you will receive wisdom teachings, inspiring and compelling intuitive readings, monthly galvanizing practices, and guide-in-your-pocket support. You will be held and mentored by someone who sees you, gets you, and relentlessly believes in the possibilities of your lived experience. You will have a circle of risk-worthy others to share with and be inspired by. And you will receive practices, invitations, physical gifts, and directives crafted just for you.
You will have what you need to reshape, refine, and renew your life and even your business so you can align with now and answer your soul’s calling.
There will also be two luxurious optional in-person gatherings available for an additional cost.

Over the course of ten months, you will receive…
-
4 Seasonal Sacred Tools Boxes
From the minute you open your box, you'll be met with a sense of reverence, magic, wonder, and delight. You'll experience gifts that awaken an ancient knowing, as if a loving guide is reaching out and sharing practices long ago forgotten or taken. These boxes aren't more "things" or things-to-do. They are sacred objects designed to enliven and enchant.
-
A Monthly 1:1 Bespoke Intuitive Reading
Every month, you'll receive an intuitive reading specific for the moment you're in and the dreams you're here to tend. There may be cards involved, nature oracles, photo divining, or even playlists and recipes. These readings are filled with just-for-you insights, suggestions, practices, and resources, tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
-
Monthly Group Gathering
Twice a month*, we will gather with our circle, connect with ourselves, the world we're in, and each other to practice new (sometimes ancient) ways of being and craft the life you crave. Your magic is amplified when done in a trustworthy group. You'll be guided through transformative processes, and we'll explore and engage the themes, archetypes, joys, and struggles we are working with and through. You'll be amazed by how good and worthwhile it can feel to be in a group in this way. Calls begin in January.
-
Monthly Story Spell
Stories connect us to the unconcious. They give us access to aspects of ourselves and illuminate whole new possibilities and pathways. Each month, you'll receive a private podcast providing an immersive listening experience exploring themes of life cycles, vocation, spirituality, and the human condition. By tuning and tapping into the timeless themes and tales of our ancestors, we'll be able to connect to a larger imagining that offers us new possibilities and solutions.
-
Group Co-Working Studio Hours
Each month, you'll have the option to join our Sacred Time Co-Regulating studio hours. We all have important things to work on and with and there is a magic to having promised time on your calendar where you know others are also showing up for themselves in this way. You can devote your time to tending your dreams and keeping your creative fires warm. These sessions bake in accountability, body doubling, support, and protected time. Every kind of transformation requires action of some sort. Sacred Time on your calendar helps you move the things that matter to you forward.
-
An Online Sanctuary
The closest thing to meeting in my living room with tea, a fire, all the chocolate, beautiful flowers, floor pillows, good smells, and good music - We've created an online sanctuary where you can connect with each other, share and make requests, find resources and materials, and refresh your spirit. We all need places on these wild internet streets where we can hydrate and breathe easy - this is your space.
-
Private Sessions w/Danielle
You’ll receive 3 hours of private coaching sessions with Danielle, to be used at any available time throughout the program. Can you format these to suit your needs - a two-hour deep dive with a one-hour follow-up? Great! Three 1 hour sessions spread out over the 10 months, let’s do it! Six 30 minute sessions? You betcha! AND you get Voxer access to me for true guide-in-your-pocket support. These sessions are alive and on purpose. There isn't a script, but there is a process and flow. You will be seen. You will be met. You will be challenged. You will be nourished. You will be supported. I will be your thought partner, advocate, and intuitive guide. You will be emboldened to reorganize your inner and outer landscapes, creating conditions that truly have you living your lush life. (Limited options available to add more 1:1 if that’s what you’d like).
-
Two Optional In-Person Retreats
In the Winter and again in early Autumn 2025, you will have the option to join our community in person for three lush days of process, programming, rest, and celebration.
Photos may happen. Laughter will happen! Tears, hugs, art, and epiphanies will likely happen. We will always be surrounded by beauty and nourishment for our bodies and souls.
Exact locations and costs TBD (likely each retreat will have a price tag of approximately 3k).
An intentional Community, grounded Guidance, Practical Spirituality.
This intimate gathering of 5-13 visionaries offers authentic connection, meaningful conversation, and intentional support. As your facilitator, I'll provide a riskworthy, supportive space where you can explore life's practicalities and spiritual depths. Together, we'll delve into personal growth, purpose, intuition, and fulfillment. Expect a blend of coaching, conversation, and experiential practices to enhance your holistic journey.
No flimsy leadership or chaotic coaching. You will never have to be the leader in the room, but you won’t be overshadowed either. Each call will be anchored by an intentional plan, which begins long before we enter the room together. Consider me your host and you my honored guests.

Lush Life Collective is for you if…
You believe fully or even just barely that this season may be your most significant time of self-actualization, power, and possibility even if the world seems to have other ideas about it.
You are open to the idea that art and magic in the form of poetry, mythology, laughter, and wholehearted presence are the key to unlocking your next evolution.
You are longing for a depth of connection with people who hold an exquisite standard and who want to explore not only their mindset and somatic experience but also their spiritual journey, psyche, and who have a bias toward action and don’t just collect learning but bring their callings into being.
You value radical self-responsibility and have a rebellious streak. You’re not quick to jump on bandwagons or buy into the latest ways of doing things. You commit to honing your critical thinking skills.
You’ve experienced success, and you want a coaching experience that can meet your fullness and journey with you into your beautiful and mysterious next

This may not be a right fit for you if…
Diving into the depths is not something you’re resourced to do in this moment. I will facilitate a deeply supportive container, but some of the work we do together can be transformative and sometimes challenging. If you’re in an acute state of trauma, or even working with ongoing trauma, you need to make sure you have the right supports in place in order to dive into this experience.
Exploring traditions, myths, and archetypes outside of your own faith or culture (including atheism) is not something you’re available to do. I want you to know upfront that we’ll be gleaning wisdom from a variety of lineages (including guidance for how to connect with your own) and spiritual traditions (always with an eye on cultural appreciation and right relationship).

Hi, I’m Danielle

If you’re here, you might already know me quite well, but you might not know that this last decade has brought me to and through a becoming journey that is continuing to make and shape my current and future self in ways I would have never dreamed possible. I have traveled some rough terrain and more than once been dragged into the underworld — and along the way, I have been blessed with rich gems and jewels.
Lush Life Collective is where I will bring the gems and jewels I’ve collected so far.
I am a Visibility Mentor, Photographer, and Vocational Midwife specializing in inner and outer business, I am always devoted to the sacred.
After more than 12 years of having a business online and with all the uncertainty that comes with it, I know this for sure: somehow, again and again (and again and again), I am blessed by having the most incredible humans show up in and for my work.
My people are wise, rebellious seekers, ambitious, strong, deep, visionary, kind, creative, *call* answering, difference-makers who are at a threshold that is summoning them into something (or someone) new. I work at the intersection of soul expression, Self-connection, community care, and holistic visibility. I do my work through a trauma-informed, whole-being, magic-as-a-practical-and-necessary-practice, equity-centered lens.
I have done spectacular things in my life so far — broken spells, healed traumas, created businesses, published articles and magazines, done meaningful work, helped others do their meaningful work, birthed and raised beautiful babies, helped others birth and raise beautiful babies, tended to and through beloveds illnesses and end of life journeys, made lots of money, helped others make lots of money, mended lineages, contributed beauty to our world, and nurtured relationships.
I am a guide who can sit with you both in the fire and by the fire.
My work is about our meaningful work.
I believe in us.
And I would love to spend the next 10 months on this journey with you.

I’ve intentionally created this as a hybrid group & 1:1 program because the truth is that having a truly connecting, positive, deep experience with a group is in and of itself transformative, and I both attract amazing people and cultivate really healthy group spaces. I want you to benefit from that. If you’re drawn to this work but group is clear NO for you, email me I have 2 spots for 1:1 coaching in 2025.
