About Danielle....
Hi! Thanks for visiting my site.
My name is Danielle and I show busy parents how to make health and wellness a priority even when it seems that they don't have the time. I am a Health and Wellness Coach - that is, a life coach specializing in health and wellness.
I am incredibly passionate about health and wellness-- afterall, our health and wellness is the foundation of our lives.
As a busy parent with two young children, a career, and a household to maintain (and a husband to take care of too), I also know how hard it can be to find the time to fit in the things that are important for my health and wellness. I COMPLETELY understand the juggle!
Despite the balancing act though, I know that my health and wellness is important and the actions I take to take care of myself directly impact my family as well.
Unfortunately, I have witnessed first hand the impact of not making health and wellness a priority. My family has a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer and obesity.
During college, I began to trek down the path of poor health. I was dealing with incredible levels of stress as I juggled school, work, personal life stressors, and being overcommitted. It wasn't until I realized I was putting on weight, my health was suffering, and my doctor was recommending drugs to maintain health, that I decided I need to focus on my wellness.
Since then, I have devoted many hours to learning about how to achieve health and wellness naturally. Now that I am a mom, health and wellness remains a priority in my life -- despite the juggle.
I became interested in coaching about 10 years ago. Despite my draw to the profession, I was only coaching informally. During that time, I had the opportunity to gain the reputation as a distinguished professional with international experience in education, the non-profit sector, and the corporate world.
In addition to holding a BA in Psychology and Education from Columbia University, I hold a MA in Teaching, and an MBA from New York University.
I am currently working towards my certification as a Professional Coach with the International Coach Academy and I am a certified Dr. Sears L.E.A.N. Coach.
