Hi, I'm Danielle Archer

I'm a student of culture, and I am fascinated by the ways in which the environments that we live in impact our sense of self and our ability to thrive.

​

I have done various speaking engagements at colleges and universities on subjects ranging from film (specific to Japan & India), on individual and cultural identity (in Japan), and on the foundations of Āyurveda. An eternal student, I love analyzing all that life has to offer from perspectives that recognize the myriad of ways that we exist in relationship with the world around us. 

​

Āyurveda has been part of a deep unfolding within me. I came to this practice almost as if by accident. I was a student of Japan when I fell in love with Indian film, and then I started cooking Indian food, and then I kept coming across this word in cookbooks: Āyurveda. After a few years I decided to dig a little deeper, and things in my life began to shift...

​

In my practice working with clients, I draw from the timeless knowledge of the Vedic traditions to guide those who seek advice toward living their own unique truth. My education in Vedic teachings is rooted in and grounded by the cultivation of knowledge that has been passed on to me by teachers. As a seeker, I strive to connect with what is important, with what is real and true. I feel that examining the way that we as individuals, cultures, and societies nourish ourselves and each other is essential to understanding what we must to do thrive as individual and connected peoples. I use the teachings from the Vedas, mainly Āyurveda and Vedic Astrology, to dismantle learned behaviors that do not serve truth. Typically, these are habits have been inherited through unnatural systems that thrive on our dependence. I believe that this is necessary if we aspire to be grounded in the essence of our own being and to live in alignment with our own unique truth.
