Dani's wellness journey began in 2018. A lifetime of suppressing physical, sexual and emotional trauma as well as the impactful grief of her mother's untimely death had caught up with her. On June 17th 2002 her mother, Mary Pam, died at the young age of 46 from breast cancer. A time when cancer was less common. Dani was just 23. Her faith dissolved with her mother's passing and she abandoned in the belief of the greater good of a Higher Power. She stumbled through life with mediocracy numbing all the pain she held inside. She did not have the support or understanding that grief and mourning are an expression of love and that the feelings of anger, abandonment and loss needed a safe place to go. She had multiple transitional seasons in life and each time she was reaching and almost fulfilling her full potential she would collapse into self sabotage. She truly did not think or feel she was worthy.

Years later at age 39 a debilitating shoulder landed Dani into Urgent Care. The doctors could not help her pain. Searching for answers she found herself in a Yoga class and something shifted. During Shavasana Dani found stillness in mind, body and spirit and the process of unpacking all those burdens she had carried over the years began to unwind. From this moment of revelation she dedicated her life to studying, learning and growing skills that embody wellness and healing. She began to get curious, rather than angry, about how and why her family left this world debilitated with illness and disease that deteriorated their physical body or combination of the physical with brain function. She was the primary care giver to many of her family elders including her mother before they passed. She began to ask, "Why were they not getting better when they went to doctors and specialists?" Living a joyful life full of vitality with a focus on optimal physical and mental well being began to interest her. She continued on her healing journey.

Fast forward to today Dani is an Experienced Ceremonial Yoga Instructor. While immersed in training during July of 2022, in 🇵🇪 Peru, while on Vision Quest she had the vision of bringing all these teachings, while immersed in nature, to her homeland. Being in nature greatly impacted and nurtured this healing process and her reconnection and love for God.

When she landed home manifesting this vision did not come easy. She had more lessons to learn and work to do and that was the weaving of her faith in Father God, His son Jesus, our Savior, and the Holy Spirit into her foundational Yoga and Spiritual practices. She did not realize it at the time but He was preparing her rooms. The lessons came; some hard, some swift, others slow as a turtles pace, yet her heart was wide open and she was willing to evolve and grow as the trials no matter how messy became gifts of transformation

An understanding that she was a vessel for the His divine will and that leading people towards healing comes responsibility, discernment and righteousness. Righteousness simply means the right use of energy. It is a practice; like journaling, prayer or yoga. She took time to let go of old thought processes and limiting belief systems allowing more space and capacity for forgiveness, love without conditions, and illuminating light as Jesus taught her. She surrendered to the understanding that all great things happen in God's divine timing. Lessons poured out of the messes she got herself into seeing the trials as mirrors and projections to reflect, unlearn, and rewire old programming. She kept turning within and asking the question, "What do I have to learn here?" Her gaze remained on the light even in the darkest days and nights.

4 years later... June 15th 2026 this vision in Peru becomes a reality with the founding of LightWorker Ranch.
