Letters to the Sensitive Soul

Hi! I'm Danica, a medium, intuitive guide, and author. My work is devoted to creating supportive spaces for highly sensitive folks to reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their inner wisdom. I weave together intuitive guidance, somatic practices, and trauma-informed tools to help ease perfectionism, soften self-criticism, and strengthen self-trust, because I believe spirituality isn’t about transcending ourselves, but deepening into who we are.

When I handed in my manuscript to my publisher this past May, I thought a few things might happen: I might feel really vulnerable for having my story "out there." I might celebrate with friends and family for completing a milestone. Or maybe I would simply exhale a huge sigh of relief. What actually happened took me by surprise. After I pressed send on years of hard work, I crumpled onto the kitchen floor and cried for a really long time. Like, an exceptionally long time. And then I took a...

When I was 7 years old I watched a National Geographic documentary with my family. It was about shrimping (shrimp fishing?) and I remember the crew pulling up their fishing nets to reveal hundreds of dead dolphins, turtles, and other sea life. All. That.

I locked myself in the bathroom and cried...

"I've only read about this in books!" he exclaimed, with obvious excitement and honestly, a little too much glee for the situation at hand. Not the thing you want to hear from the DOCTOR about to perform a complicated surgery on you. ..But here we were! Hospital gown and all. A place I seemed to find myself often: in paper gowns, staring into the eyes of perplexed doctors. It was 2012, at the very height of me hiding my spiritual abilities from the world. Read: I wasn't speaking my truth. In...

Are you waiting for permission to follow your dreams? I definitely was. I always wanted to be a writer. Partly because my introverted and highly sensitive self loved the idea of being alone in a cabin, overlooking a vast river, writing quietly with a cup of coffee. *Bliss* But mostly because I had a love of words and stories. I love to hear people’s stories. I love to share stories. And books have been so transformative on my own journey of healing and self-discovery - finding hope in others'...

Sometimes, it feels as if many aspects of motherhood are in direct conflict with who I am: my high sensitivity, my introversion, my need for calm and quiet, my craving for tidy spaces and gentle energy. Instead, plenty of mornings start with breakfast orders being shouted as if I work the kitchen of a busy diner. I am rushing to fasten shoes, break up arguments, and pack lunches all before I've even had a sip of my coffee, let alone had a second to gather my energy or connect with myself. I...
