She has a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality (DHS), a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW), and a Bachelors (BA) degree in Psychology and Educational Counseling.
As a somatic sexologist, professor, and author, Danielle has devoted the last 20 years to resolving her client’s sexual challenges, training sex & relationship coaches, and empowering people. Harnessing her extensive training in sexology, psychology, and body-based modalities like Hakomi, attachment theory, character theory, and neuro-patterning, she guides people in reaching their fullest personal, professional, and sexual potential.
In addition to being faculty at Esalen and teaching the Advanced Somatica Training and Mastery Classes, Danielle has most recently embraced the adventure of co-producing the TV series Here She Comes – an episodic based on the Somatica Method (currently in production).

She has also extensively written on sex, relationships, and dating, and is frequently quoted as an expert resource in publications.
To everything she does, Danielle brings her unparalleled passion, depth, intuition, and magnetizing personality.
Danielle is currently focused on her educational pursuits, teaching the next generation of sex & relationship coaches. She is for the moment not accepting individual clients but is happy to refer any inquiries to a certified, trained practitioner near you.
