Danielle Marie Gutshall explored her passion for the process of creation and birth as she studied Fine Art at Hampshire College. During this time, she became especially fascinated with the relationship between the body of the earth and the body of woman. Her art lived and breathed this passion, each piece from painting and drawing, to sculpture and installation somehow represented the earthly form: a pregnant woman, a birth canal or a spiral. In conjunction she spent her time learning about Reiki and practicing yoga. Both Reiki and yoga became constants in Danielle’s life. Danielle celebrated the body of woman and her desire to create sacred space for women.

In 2006 Danielle became a Certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor in Western Massachusetts. She moved out to Los Angeles with the intentions of teaching yoga and healing others through Reiki. Her passion for women and creation continues to shine bright. 2008, a year of manifestation, propelled Danielle to learn, grow and develop even further. She left her career with lululemon athletica to pursue teaching yoga full time, serving pregnant women and seniors with Alzheimer’s disease, and stepping fully onto a path of birth and rebirth.

Danielle’s passion for community will create a support system while you lay the foundation for your growing baby. Danielle honors this sacred time of transformation within the family in belief that we can do a great deal of healing to give the process of birth back to women and their partners. She continues to educate herself on pregnancy, birth and parenting on a daily basis. She is a current member of DONA International and DASC. Ultimately Danielle considers herself a Mistress of Many Arts, one who mayinspire and elevate consciousness in this world through empowerment and encouragement.
