"Daniela changed our birthing process completely with just her presence.
From the moment she entered the house, I felt an immediate sense of calm and added strength. Dani understands deeply the journey into mothering and bringing in new life. She knew intuitively and perfectly the words to say, the tone, the touch i needed to be able to open to this magnificent portal we call birth.
It was our second child. A beautiful, speedy 4 hr active labour before an amazing water birth in the pool in our living room. And I know in my heart, she did half the work with me. What a blessing, thank you Dani!” - Ileana Hatton
“Ayurveda is declared to be eternal, because it has no beginning, because it deals with such things that are inherent in nature and because the nature of matter is eternal. For at no time was there a break either in the continuity of life or in the continuity of intelligence”
“Ragadi rogan statanu shaktha nasheshakaya prasruthan asheshan
Outsukya mocha arathithan jaghana Yo apoorva vaidyaya namostu thasmai.
I bow to that legendary physician who could cure the diseases
of the body and the diseases of the mind such as desire, ego, anger, and jealousy.”
Sharing the sacred journey of motherhood…
