Today we’d like to introduce you to Danae Fentie.
Danae, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I have always been interested in helping and healing. My childhood and early adulthood was filled with intensity and trauma. I am the oldest of 8 children with two brothers with Autism, so I have always been a caregiver and second mom. When I was in my early twenties everything fell apart when my wellbeing took a nosedive. I was unofficially diagnosed with Lupus and severe nerve damage in all of the extremities, ‘as much as an 80-year-old’ according to my neurologist.
My trajectory changed one day when I left a neurologist’s office where I had been asking about how to manage pain without being on TOO much medication (which I never liked in the first place). His response was ‘do you want to live in pain or do you not?’ When I left I went home, got down on my knees, cried my eyes out and prayed. I prayed for guidance and direction and in return, I promised to share and educate others with whatever guidance was provided for me. This was the beginning of coming back to myself. I took myself off of all medication and stopped going to all of the specialists. I immersed myself in holistic knowledge and doors started opening for me that I know were Divinely led.
I started with learning Holistic Nutrition and since then added Quantum Biofeedback specialist, a licensed Spiritual Health Coach, Yoga certification, Reiki practitioner and I am currently on a fast track program working towards my Ph.D. in Natural Medicine with a focus on bringing consciousness into medicine… it is very Quantum physics based. I have approached my healing from 360 degrees, which has included: cleansing, meditation, healing trauma, nutrition, biofeedback, movement and spiritual connection.
All of which are included in my practice and what I offer for others. I also started a natural body and skincare line because I have always loved beauty (I use to be a makeup artist and went to school for fashion) and I realized that much of what I was using was adding to my illness. Most products are so toxic! The Conscious Collection is a Reiki charged, gemstone enhanced, mostly organic line that features facial masks, facial and body oils, scrubs, scents and more! I have some really big projects in the works and a little spoiler… it will involve bringing this type of wellness into the masses hands.
Currently, I offer 1 on 1 services, group workshops, corporate workshops, yoga and cooking classes. I work with people of all ages and have a special passion for working with children, especially those extra sensitive ones who really need to lead a natural lifestyle in order to thrive. I have a passion for healthy treats and find stress relief in cooking and baking. I love my life so much now!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My like has been smooth for only the last few years when I have taken control over my destiny. Before that, I have suffered greatly.
By the age of 7, I experienced a murder-suicide of my grandparents. My parents divorced very young and I spent my time going between Texas and Canada. I went through a custody battle that spanned from Texas to Canada. I lived off and on with a stepmom who was a narcissist and a sociopath and chose me as the one to take most of her frustrations on. I have two brothers with Autism, one of which is nonverbal and considered severe. His suffering affected me immensely and was so bad that it was on the national news in Canada as to how he was being treated in the hospital he was in. My mom was a single mom and has had a hard road with her health. I have several family members that have either struggled and/or triumphed through addiction.
I personally have suffered from a lot of physical pain and compromised immune system. When I was putting myself through nutrition school, I was also healing myself in the process and for a time had to sleep on my brother’s coach to be able to pay for and finish school. I am an intuitive and an empath and until the last few years, use to see it as a huge hindrance because I did not have the tools to understand this gift.
I started my business with NO money at all, just faith and drive and a knowing that the masses needed to have access to the type of wellbeing that was helping me heal. I did this all WHILE being ‘sick’. My very first workshop NO ONE came! I knew I was living my purpose when I didn’t let it phase me because I am a natural people pleaser.
And through this, all I can actually say I LOVE life and my experiences have made me more compassionate, empathetic and understanding of others’ suffering. I am a powerful manifesto and have had amazing opportunities and continue to because I believe in our power to create our own reality! Nothing trumps experience.
Please tell us about Conscious Living with Danae.
I offer holistic support, I call Conscious Living, through a variety of modalities ranging from holistic lifestyle coaching, clean cooking classes to private yoga & meditation guidance. I have a passion for personal evolution and natural healing and have practiced this way of being through my own previous health struggles. I have a knack for helping people get to the bottom of their struggles and blockages while teaching them to see how it is all connected; working at a micro and macro level.
The Conscious Collection is a skin & body care line I have created to meet clients’ needs for cleaner, more honest self-care products. My line is gemstone enhanced, Reiki charged, mostly organic and environmentally friendly with minimal packaging.
I am a licensed Spiritual Coach, certified yoga & meditation instructor, biofeedback specialist, Reiki, and wellness coach. I am currently in a fast-track program to receive my Ph.D. in Natural Medicine, with a focus on consciousness and bridging Eastern & Western medicine, through the Quantum University.
My mission is to EDUCATE and EMPOWER my clients in regaining their natural vibrancy and whole person wellbeing. I believe we are wired to feel good and my approach is to focus on the rhythms and relationships of wellness, which provides new awareness and connection to their goals and lifestyle needs. I believe one of the reasons people struggle so much with knowing how to care for themselves or what to eat is because they do not have a relationship with their food or their inner being.
Through my private coaching, group programs, and social media influence, I guide clients to create an individualized, step-by-step program which helps them reach their goals while making REAL and LASTING lifestyle changes. I offer true whole person wellbeing; emotional, physical, mental and spiritual, guiding the individual back to their natural intuition and inner healer. I love watching my clients grow and blossom and far surpass their goals and expectations, often realigning with their purpose and passion by first caring for themselves.
I combine ancient and innovative practices to truly serve the individual and their unique needs. I am also dabbling in holistic wellbeing for pets, too since I have adopted a sweet kitty, Rumi, who experienced trauma and abuse. He is now thriving and eats and lives better than most humans I know. 🙂
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
Feeling life in my mom’s tummy when she was pregnant with my first brother. I remember how magical it was and I loved him so very much before he was born. I was so mesmerized by pregnancy.
