Who we are?
My story
Hi, I’m Danielle - Soul-Led Mentor, Reiki Master and founder of Internally Free.
I help people stop surviving and start living in alignment with who they truly are. I bring my whole self to this work: professional insight, lived experience navigating burnout, long Covid, and spiritual breakthroughs, and a deep belief that healing is possible when we honour our mind, body, and soul.
My Journey
For over 20 years, I’ve supported children, young people, and families, including six years in leadership roles. I’ve seen what happens when people push past their own limits, the exhaustion, the perfectionism, the quiet burnout because I’ve lived it myself, both as a leader and as someone navigating the consequences of self-abandonment and people-pleasing.
Supporting a close family member through a late adult ADHD diagnosis revealed what support is missed by services. I support neurodivergent adults to unlearn self blame, reconnect with their inner child, untangle their story, offer practical strategies and rebuild self trust. This insight, combined with my professional background as a registered Social Worker, is at the heart of my Soul-Led Mentoring.
Why Internally Free?
Internally Free is more than a service , it’s a space where your story is seen, your energy is held, and your potential is honoured. I’ll walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your joy.
How I work
I work in a soul-led way that combines real-life approaches with inner awareness, weaving trauma-informed techniques, inner child and shadow work, with tools like Reiki. I help you notice what’s hard to see, face your blind spots, and create the structures and habits that let you feel grounded, aligned, and more fully present in your life.
Who I work with
I support adults who are running on empty, carrying heavy mental loads, navigating life with neurodivergent brains or starting their spiritual journey. Together, we uncover the patterns that hold you back, reclaim your energy, and create a way of living that truly fits who you are.
Community & Giving Back
Giving back has always been close to my heart. I founded STEPS2TRUST, a volunteer-led initiative supporting asylum seekers on their journey to heal, rebuild, and thrive. My soul has also guided me to offer care and presence in other ways as part of my ancestral connection to service, justice, and holding space for others. These experiences continue to inspire and shape my mentoring, grounding it in empathy, purpose, and soulful connection.
Discovering Reiki
As part of my soul-led mentoring, I offer Reiki to support your spiritual journey and deeper self-connection. Reiki provides a gentle complement to the practical and reflective work we do together, helping with grounding, self-awareness, and releasing what no longer serves you. My own experience with Reiki informs how I hold space for others — blending intuition, presence, and soul-aligned guidance.
