Meet Danielle
Healthcare Leader, Speaker and Coach
I am dedicated to helping you unlock your full potential, both personally and professionally. My customized coaching sessions are designed to guide you through growth, development, and the achievement of your goals. I believe in the power of coaching to transform lives and drive success.
Let's embark on this journey together.

My Core Services
Leadership Growth & Impact
I partner with emerging leaders to cultivate the mindset, skills, and strategies needed to lead with purpose and impact. My approach combines insight, reflection, and practical tools to help you inspire others and navigate change with clarity and confidence.
Health Policy and Advocacy Consulting
With a strong foundation in professional advocacy, I work with organizations and leaders to influence policies that create lasting, positive change. My approach helps align strategic priorities with system needs — fostering collaboration, sustainability, and a stronger, more resilient health ecosystem.
Personal Development Coaching
My coaching approach is rooted in connection, clarity, and growth. Together, we’ll create space for you to pause, reflect, and realign — so you can lead your business and your life with intention, confidence, and joy.

Your Life on Fire
In a world that’s become fast-paced and noisy, many of us move through our days on autopilot — serving everyone else’s needs while losing sight of our own. Your Life on Fire is a powerful collection of stories about love, loss, hope, and purpose that will inspire you to reconnect with what truly lights you up.
If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions, this book will help you rekindle your spark — and remind you of the person you were always meant to be.
