What is UrbanWellness?

After living in the city for a number of years, I realized I really need nature on a regular basis to feel balanced and healthy.
Theres that “work hard/play hard” philosophy, which is balance but tends to be extremely polarized. I was seeking a more integrated balanced lifestyle for myself and family and quickly learned that it can be done, but it does take a conscious effort in a time when we are all super busy, stressed, scheduled, and in need of more downtime.

Hi, I’m Danielle!

I am a Classically trained Pilates Teacher (since 2000) and Health Coach. I have studied yoga for over 18 years and Im also interested in natural movement in terms of the “undoing” of some of the restrictions caused by modern lifestyles.

I see fitness as a “whole person project” rather than just the exercise element.

My programs include nutrition, movement, alignment and lifestyle. I also love essential oils and teach classes about how to use them for health and wellness. My clients include people of all walks of life, fitness level and ages.
