About Christi Daniels - Christi Daniels -Somatic Coach + Facilitator at Empower Studio

Your enormous heart led you to a helping profession. As a teacher, massage therapist, virtual assistant, or other helping professional, you care for the mind, body, soul, or business of others – and you do it superbly – but you struggle to give yourself even a fraction of the time and attention you devote to others.

You understand better than most how self-care, listening to your inner wisdom, and following your soul’s calling are vital to your well-being. In fact, you encourage others to live that way and that’s one reason why it’s so frustrating when you can’t make it happen for yourself. Being out of integrity with what you value leaves you feeling “off” center. It’s as if something’s missing and that something that’s missing is … you.

Truth-be-told, you’ve been ignoring an emptiness inside of you for awhile now. Deep down you know neglecting yourself isn’t sustainable and it’s starting to take a toll. You’re sensing some dreams and possibilities have an expiration date and need to be claimed before they expire. That quickening you feel in your chest, that stirring in your gut is a signal it’s time to do something different.

Rather than wandering around alone trying to figure out what’s wrong with you in the desert of self-help books and do-it-yourself programs, there’s a part of you that yearns to find a true oasis. A soft, safe, lush space where you sit down, take a deep breath, and let go of all of the worries, all of the pressures, all of the expectations that require you to be “on” and responsible 24/7. A place where you can simply relax into yourself and BE.

In your heart of hearts, you really want someone to take you by the hand and show you the way, with that same attentiveness and genuine care you extend to others … to reassure you this path has been walked before, you’ll arrive in your own perfect timing, and that you’ll have help orienting along the way.

And I’m so glad you made it here because that’s exactly what I do!

I’m Christi Daniels, a Cognitive Somatic Energy Practitioner, Thriving Method® Facilitator, and Life Coach and it’s my passion to assist extraordinary women as they step into the leadership role of their life. My clients reacquaint themselves with their Authentic Wisdom and inner wellspring of energy and enthusiasm, learning to harness it as fuel for their dreams.

Earlier in life I spent 16 years in the corporate world using my geeky-systems-synthesis skills to bring accounts and projects back into alignment before I switched my focus from serving high-quality projects to high-quality people. I was born with the heart of a teacher and the mind of a systems engineer.   

I continue to earn my most valuable credentials for being your ally in the trenches of day to day life. In the early days, attempt by attempt, and coach by coach, I learned to receive support and reconstruct my sense of self. In the early days I just wanted to fix myself. I now understand this to be a lifelong process, not of fixing myself, but of healing and self-discovery. I continue to realign and readjust each day with who I’m discovering myself to be. It was a lonely and confusing journey at first, but what kept me going was a vow to figure out a way to get back to myself first, and if it worked, to share what I found so that no other women had to needlessly suffer. This pledge was behind starting my practice, Empower Studio (formerly Self-Full Living), and writing my book titled Sabbatical from “Yes”.

Along the way, I’ve assisted my clients in exploring their inner landscape to rediscover and reorient themselves with who they really are underneath all of the social conditioning, survival programming, and assumptions they built their life upon. Rather than being led from the outside world, my clients learn to trust themselves, to align their perspective, choices, and actions with nourishing who they really are and to lead themselves with love, compassion, and tenderness as sovereign beings first and foremost, which creates a wellspring of energy, creativity, and richness that make it easy to share with others, no self-sacrifice required.

Through my cornerstone group coaching program, Soul Gardening, I give bright, highly sensitive, driven women the innovative tools and training needed to trust themselves completely and blaze their own, authentic trail in an ever-changing world.

PS: In December of 2019 I read what I believe is the most important book of the century, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women’s Happiness and Fulfillment by Dr. Valerie Rein.

Dr. Valerie’s book describes the reasons why so many women feel as though there’s something wrong with us and illuminates that it’s not us, what’s wrong is systemic and it shows up in us as Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD).  This was the next level of awareness for me as a practitioner for being able to serve my clients in even deeper and more profound ways. It was also the next level of healing ancestral, collective and personal trauma for myself I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve since received so much personal and group care, support and healing through the programs Dr. Valerie and her partner, Jeffrey Tambor, have created. 

In addition, I’ve trained as a Thriving Method Facilitator (Level 1) so that I can share the foundations of this work with my own clients. I have had the honor of facilitating the foundational Thriving Solution 10 week program as part of Team Thriving for this group of clients.

I’ve also trained as a Thriving Method Facilitator (Level 2) for the facilitating the deeper levels of this work for Team Thriving clients in their year long Thriving Circle program. As part of this training, I’m completing a 2-3 year supervised apprenticeship.

I cannot express how life changing this experience has been for me and for the clients I am facilitating. If Dr. Valerie’s work resonates, I would encourage you to participate in an upcoming online retreat, The Thriving Experience. You can also check out her podcast or website for additional information. 

"It is my honor and privilege to recommend Christi Daniels to you. I have had the good fortune to know and work with Christi in a variety of settings for almost two years and can assure you that you will not find a more beautiful being with whom you can trust your most vulnerable self. I could tell you about all the wonderful tools that she employs to help you clarify your goals and move through the obstacles that are in the way of creating what you truly want, but in the end those are just tools. What is special about the work that she does is Christi herself. To work with Christi and be in her presence is to feel loved, accepted and celebrated as the strong and empowered being that you truly are."
