After 18 years in research, Danielle transitioned into clinical practice, earning her Master of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and an Associate’s degree in Chemical Dependency Studies from Keene State College. This foundation in neuroscience, psychology, and nutrition allows her to approach health from a deeply integrated and unique perspective, blending biochemical insight with practical nutrition strategies.

Danielle is particularly passionate about supporting clients through life transitions such as menopause, and in managing and preventing chronic conditions including diabetes and osteoporosis. She is committed to educating and empowering her clients with science-driven strategies tailored to their individual needs. Known for her rigorous, evidence-based approach, Danielle continues to advance her expertise through ongoing education and specialized training in areas such as endocrine health, metabolic function, and nutrient-driven longevity.
