What's possible in our work together...
· Feel safer in your body, and open to deeper pleasure
· Be empowered to create the kind of relationship you truly desire
· Align with your passion, soul and most authentic expression
Integrative Approach
My approach is multidisciplinary, weaving together diverse therapeutic and sacred somatic modalities to awaken and restore your capacity for:
Erotic Aliveness
Eroticism is about sex, and much more. We awaken emotional, relational and spiritual dimensions of your erotic being, reclaiming your sexuality as a source of creativity, power and nourishment.
Emotional Intimacy
Our work is deeply relational and emotionally focused. Whether you come in 1:1 or as a couple, we demystify dynamics, unpack negative cycles and create new patterns of attachment and emotional connection.
Mind-body Coherence
Through somatic awareness, therapeutic touch, movement, breath work, and emotional processing, you reconnect directly with all parts of yourself, learn to feel more present, aware and safe in your body.
Expertise
Danielle Sharon Levi, M.A., A.B.S., is an internationally recognized embodiment teacher, relational mentor, sexuality coach, and former psychotherapist working at the intersection of somatic psychology, sexology, relational healing and embodied spirituality.
With over a decade of trauma-informed training and clinical experience, she guides women and couples in cultivating deeper self-compassion, embodied sovereignty, pleasure and love, while mentoring practitioners in trauma-informed somatic relational work.
Her approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities with embodied and experiential approaches, with a focus on somatic bodywork, attachment repair, trauma recovery, relational depth, parts work and women’s sexuality.
Danielle has worked with over 2,000 clients across more than 10 countries and brings a multicultural, consent-centered, and body-informed lens to her practice.
Grounded in both clinical rigor and reverence for the erotic as a vital dimension of human life, Danielle creates compassionate, shame-free spaces for personal and collective healing. She offers this work through individual sessions, group processes, immersive labs, and trainings in Costa Rica and online.
Mentorship in Costa Rica & the online space
After more than a decade of online work, I’ve seen how deep somatic and intimacy sessions can be, even from afar.
For many, these sessions are a first step toward coming to Costa Rica, where we can work in person through an immersion or private retreat.
Working online offers unique possibilities:
Comfort: Engage in personal, embodied work from the privacy of your own space.
Flexibility: Sessions meet you wherever you are, with no commute.
Depth: Somatic work translates online, solo or with a partner, through personalized, embodied inquiry.
