About Danielle

My Story

Welcome to Stripping Illusions Studios. My name is Danielle, and my journey began in childhood when I first discovered my sensitivity to the world around me—feeling others' energy, predicting events through dreams and instincts. However, societal norms led me to discount these innate gifts until I embarked on my graduate school journey.

​

Art became my gateway to self-discovery, reigniting my spiritual connection and unlocking my empathic nature. As an art therapist, I've had the privilege of facilitating healing across various settings—from mental health facilities and schools to community centers and hospitals, working with individuals spanning from children to the elderly

​

My path took a profound turn following a period of identity crisis, surgery, and personal upheaval, which led me to experience Reiki for the first time. It was a revelation—a missing piece found, bringing inner peace, balance, openness, and vulnerability. Through Reiki, I forged a spiritual connection with myself, allowing buried emotions of guilt, sadness, and confusion to surface and heal.

​

​My purpose of Stripping Illusions is to provide all a welcoming space to all where I can support your health by the power of energy to bring peace and balance into your life. Through this process, I am here to support and help you discover and bring exploration to yourself with an open mind and heart that will foster growth in many roles in your life.

​

With my use of reiki, expressive art making, and intuitive creation my goal is to empower the current reader to find purpose, wisdom of the self, and truly feel love for the life you live and create.

Thank you for joining me on your transformative path.
