About Dani

Hi, I'm Dani!

I’m Dani Fake (yep, that’s a REAL last name!), a certified life coach, life coach trainer, former therapist and normal human who seeks to empower people to fully become who they were created to be.

I am passionate about helping people develop the rock-solid skill of self-compassion, healing their inner child(ren), managing that pesky inner critic, and processing grief they didn’t even know was there.

Through my own healing and depth coaching journey, I have come to appreciate and find fulfillment in the simple pleasures of life, moved through profound loss, and become a ride-or-die proponent of self compassion.

Some random things I adore!

snow, obviously!
a good cup of coffee in the morning and a good glass of wine in the evening
waking up without an alarm almost every day
an unexplained synchronicity
the smell of the desert after the rain
a nasty-ass hip hop song to dance to
my pup rubbing his face on my shoulder every morning
an amazing piece of salmon sushi
the magic in how the number 44 shows up everywhere for me
how every person - every single one - has a story that will break your heart.

As it is with all the humans, I have had plenty of loss leading to my own foray Into the Woods, including the loss of a brother, a best friend, my beloved pups, Mufus and Abby, and most recently, my father. I have lived through the tearing of a divorce, deep friendship betrayals, and an intermittent battle with depression.

Through it all, I have learned that self-compassion is the “secret sauce” to facing loss, walking through grief, and healing our wounds.

It is the hill I would die on, what I would shout from the rooftops, the final message I’d give on my deathbed: If you do nothing else, learn to deepen your capacity for self-compassion!

BTW, this is what Depth Coaching does!
