Intrinsic Counseling
Transcendent Guidance for Real Life
Rediscover your sense of inner knowing
Align with the truth of who you are and what your purpose is from the perspective of the cosmic order.
Understanding our personal histories through the astrological lens can shed light on the significance of and deeper meanings behind the experiences of our life, enabling us to move forward free from the baggage of these events as we step into alignment with our own truth. The path of intrinsic counseling is an exploration of inner divinity and truth rooted in our own deeper knowing. This is a revelatory practice, an unfolding across time, and a becoming that takes patience, dedication, and attention.

About Danielle.
I have always sought to understand the many ways that we exist in relationship with the world around us. Āyurveda reveals the ways in which we are the microcosm of the macrocosm, and as such, the systems under which we grow up and come into ourselves inform our identities, our inner-knowing and sense of self, our health and wellbeing, our relationship dynamics, and more.
So what happens when we remove these veils so that we can navigate all of life from truth?
The answer to this question informs the heart of my practice.
In my work with clients, I look to connect the social and cultural order with the natural order through Āyurveda and the Astrological lens. I believe that it is possible to grow and thrive in alignment with the cosmos in a way that is practical to our lived reality. You don't have to reject society, your culture, or your religion to connect with your inner truth (in fact, I myself practice the art of connection everyday while living in a city, working, homemaking, and raising a family).
In my personal life, I enjoy gardening, cooking, bicycling, movies, writing, and learning (languages, philosophy, culture… I love to do the deep dive). I have an academic background in East Asian studies, and I have done various speaking engagements at colleges and universities on subjects ranging from the films of Japan & India, to identity in Japan, to the foundations of Āyurveda, and more. I am a Sanatani in the traditions of Advaita Vedanta and Shakti Tantra. I am a certified Āyurvedic Practitioner, and a practitioner and an eternal student of Jyotish and the Vedic Traditions.
