it's created.
The Life by Design Method™ was born from my own journey of chasing success, losing myself in the process, and finding the courage to start over. I know the weight of transitions—breakups, career changes, unexpected pivots—and I know the freedom that comes when you choose to rewrite the story. My mission is simple: to guide women in releasing what no longer fits, reclaiming their true voice, and creating a life that feels authentic, powerful, and unapologetically theirs.
Stop living by default. Start living by design. You’ve outgrown the version of yourself built on old roles, expectations, and “shoulds.” You feel it. A relationship ended. You started over somewhere new. The work that once lit you up now feels flat. And beneath it all, a quiet voice keeps whispering:
"This isn’t who I’m meant to be."
is my signature 6-month private coaching journey for women 30+ navigating life’s biggest turning points. It’s not about patching up the past. It’s about designing the future—with clarity, confidence, and intention.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Every session is tailored to your desires, your pace, and your breakthroughs.
your identity.
your vision.
your mindset.
a plan you’ll follow.
your confidence.
— step into decisions with courage and self-trust, knowing you can handle what comes next.

You’ve outgrown who you were—now you’re figuring out who you’re becoming.
You’ve built a life that looks complete—but it doesn’t quite feel like home.
You can feel it—it’s time to live the change you’ve been rehearsing in your head.
Maybe it’s a breakup, a relocation, a career shift—or just that quiet ache that whispers, this can’t be it.
That restlessness isn’t confusion—it’s communication.
Your deeper self is asking to be heard.
And if you listen closely, you might already begin to hear the inner yes—that quiet confirmation that you’re meant for more than maintenance.
When you stop labeling change as loss, you start to sense possibility in every new beginning.
You’ve outgrown who you were—now you’re figuring out who you’re becoming.
The titles, the achievements, the image—they’ve carried you far.
But the pace, the pressure, the pretending? That’s what’s asking to be released.
You don’t need to do more. You just need to return to what feels like truth.
Notice what happens when you picture that alignment—
your shoulders drop, your breath deepens, your energy softens back into you. The body always knows when the mind catches up. Peace comes the moment your choices mirror your truth.
You’ve built a life that looks complete—but it doesn’t quite feel like home.
Not through force, but through conscious design—where each choice aligns with who you’re becoming.
Imagine waking up lighter.
Decisions feel easier, opportunities closer, and your confidence quietly grounded.
That’s what happens when you lead from alignment instead of expectation.
Listen again—can you hear it?
That quiet yes within you already knows the way.
You can feel it—it’s time to live the change you’ve been rehearsing in your head.
The Life by Design™ Methodology blends neuroscience, coaching practices, and habit-building frameworks to guide women through transformation that lasts. It’s not just about theory—it’s about pairing emotional depth with practical steps, so you can create a self-prioritized life that feels authentic, grounded, and fully your own.
Real stories. Real growth. Real life, by design. I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people come alive — the moment their eyes light up when they remember who they really are. That’s what coaching gives me: a front-row seat to someone’s becoming. Watching a client shed old layers and step fully into their truth is, hands down, the most gratifying part of what I do.
Outside of coaching, I’m almost always moving. You’ll find me at the gym with the 5 a.m. crew, walking along the water, cycling through the city, or paddleboarding with the sunrise. I’m competitive by nature — but mostly with myself. My goal is simple: to do a little better today than I did yesterday.
I live in Miami Beach with my dog, Grizzy — if you follow me on Instagram, you’ve definitely seen her make a cameo (or ten). Some call it an obsession; I call it unconditional love. That same energy shapes how I coach — with care, presence, and a deep respect for each person’s timing. My job is to create a space safe enough for you to explore who you are and free enough for your authenticity to unfold with ease.

Danielle is an incredible coach. The mix between her crystal clear mind and her compassionate heart was exactly what I needed to shift my awareness about my decisions in life to a new high. Her way of coaching is amazing as she always lets the client lead the session but keeps at the same time this necessary whole overview and takes care that all parts of an issue or a topic are getting considered and enlightened. It was a blast to experience coaching from her. I will forever appreciate what she did for me: validating who I am, acknowledging what I am and why & cheerleading me in situations when I had a new insight. This woman rocks. She is even much more than words could ever express. Thank you for everything, Danielle!

Working with Danielle was the MOST amazing decision ever made for myself and my business. During our sessions Danielle helped me discover the root cause of all my struggles and fears, that for sooooo long held me back from opening my own business doing what I truly love and enjoy. She gave me tools and open my life/work perspective. Thank you so much Danielle for helping me get my business going, for helping me discover what my inner child was craving, and thank you for all the amazing tools that I am still using today! Danielle has amazing energy, attitude and wisdom! If you are considering a coach, look no further!!!

Working with Coach Dam really helped me to see myself in all aspects - work, life, relationships, my internal thoughts etc. As we addressed my challenges I began to see why I perceived them that way and find answers I may never have gotten to on my own. Every session I was having aha moments from reframing perceptions to the smallest observation. I felt supported, heard and hopeful for progression past my obstacles and towards my goals. I highly recommend working with Coach Dam, her impact will always be a stepping stone to my future success!

I connected with Danielle during a hiatus from the working world. I was struggling throughout my period of unemployment [...] I felt displaced and stuck, unaware of what I wanted to do with my career and which direction to take. [...] The progress was subtle yet powerful, and noticed by my friends/family and my therapist! By the time I reached my last session with Danielle, I had finally secured employment. [...] I would recommend Danielle’s coaching services to anyone out there struggling to gain momentum and purpose. She is insightful, empowering, determined with AND for you, and always makes sure you feel good about the progress you make throughout the sessions. If you’re reading this review and are curious, don’t wait any longer. She’ll change your life!

Danielle is an incredible life coach who has truly made a transformative impact on my life. [...] With Danielle’s coaching, encouragement, and boundless support, I was able to create healthier habits, and achieve a lot of my personal goals which I had put on the back burner due to the busyness of trying to manage my medical practice full time. [...] It’s made an impact on not only myself, but my loved ones and changed how I connect with people on a daily basis. It’s been a completely transformative process for me and if you’re thinking about getting a life coach and curious about the ways in which you can help you I would strongly recommend Danielle. [...] I truly believe she was such an influential part in helping my husband and I have our first child after 3 1/2 years of trying. I’m just eternally grateful to her impact in my life and will continue working with her in the future.
