“Danya is an incredible coach for a lot of reasons: She has a rare gift of seeing what isn’t said, seen or expressed. Moving through sessions with intentionality, empathy and an open mind and heart, she helped me uncover an invisible blocker I - and my closest friends and family - hadn’t seen, which led to a huge breakthrough that still supports me daily. I found myself looking forward to our time together because each and every session there was a big and important a-ha, moment or breath taken. She’s gifted, so comes with my highest recommendation to anyone excited, willing and ready to look at themselves and the world around them in a new and different way.”
— Lissy Alden, CEO & Founder, MYNDY
“While I approached the initial sessions with a specific ‘decision’ or ‘choice’ in mind, Danya helped me see beyond traditionally structured ways of thinking and fundamentally changed the way I approach decision making for the better. I am already making major adjustments to my career and work related goals and I have no doubt that the benefits from our sessions will continue to reveal themselves throughout the years.”
“Dropping into a coaching session with Danya meant asking myself questions that lay out in front of me like a field. I am incredibly moved by the profound work we’ve been doing. It is intuitive and holistic, integrative and nuanced. Growth feels like an understatement here.”
— Shira Kline, Co-Founder of Storahtelling and Lab/Shul
“Coaching with Danya has had a profound impact on me as a human and entrepreneur. She’s an amazing combination of intelligence, creativity, and magic! Over our sessions, I shifted from feelings of confusion and overwhelm into a more firm grounding in my mission. Danya is a rare person in this fast world who truly listens. She takes everything in, and, with a deeply authentic stand, gently guides me, and I suspect all of us, to the truest version of ourselves.”
— Felice Winograd, Entrepreneur, Coach, & Former Lawyer
“I met Danya at a crossroads during my startup journey: when I was deciding whether or not to continue full-time, or wind down. Unlike most coaches, Danya brought a refreshing, non-judgmental and relevant experience as an investor and operator in both the tech and social impact worlds. Her patience, empathy and unconditional support helped me hold a mirror to my thought patterns, gain a deeper understanding of myself, and transform my relationship with work in a way that is more sustainable and impactful in the long-run. I was able to identify my core values, find joy in rest, and reflect upon my startup experience and following life chapters with newfound hope and perspective. She is a beacon of wisdom and grace who has a rare ability to hold space for others in a way that makes them feel truly seen, as well as believe in them when they can’t believe in themselves.”
— Kristina, CEO & Founder
“As a founder, you face problems from all directions, and oftentimes it is difficult to pull up out of the fog of war. That’s where Danya excels. She approaches problems holistically and prompts you to take a wider view, addressing not only the issues at hand but also your overall way of thinking. I left each session understanding myself better, and thus able to more confidently make decisions, both for the company and for myself.”
