My name is Danielle Norlund, I go by Dani. My gift of being able to communicate with the animals and trees around me has been present since I was a child. It was always a normal thing for me; until it wasn’t. Schooling and conditioning has a way of taking us away from these innate abilities and knowings. As I journeyed through life I had a 33 year career as a human bodyworker, specializing in rehabilitation; as well as a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), coaching individuals in my private practice, serving as a behavior change agent and partnering with clients in the behavior change process — empowering, supporting, and guiding individuals looking to enhance their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes that align with their values. Amid my professional career, I sought my Master’s degree in Public Health with a specialization in Mental Health, using my degree to help inform my work with individuals as a health and wellness coach, and agent for change.
In 2019, I knew I wanted to return to working more with animals and to get back to using my innate gifts. I re-entered working with animals more full-time through canine & equine bodywork, followed by becoming a professional equine hoof care provider. You may see more on these at my sister website:

After establishing my private practice as a National Board Certified Equine & Canine Bodywork Practitioner, Equine Lymphatic Therapist, and Professional Hoof Care Professional, I sought further training and mentoring to re-find and strengthening my energetic and communication gifts with several known U.S. mentors in animal communication and energetic healing; and through shamanic trainings, as I have long had a strong interest in and connection with Indigenous shamanic and healing practices. As I progress forward in my private practice, I desire to share these gifts and abilities with you and your animals so that they may help transform your lives.
