Makeup is not just an art, it’s a tool that helped Dani find her voice.
Healing wasn’t just something to do, it was essential to her survival.

There’s a lot of beauty and a lot of trauma connected with my story that unfortunately can’t be avoided.

As a young girl I always knew that I was intuitive, but simply thought it was a joke. It wasn’t until I lost everything that I realized I has something within me all along.

Around 2011, I fell developed spiritual psychosis and lost my ability to speak. This prolonged for about a year (maybe more, I’m really unsure of how long it was happening).

During this time, I was awakening to my Spiritual Gifts. Too afraid to ask for help, I taught myself how to speak again, but recognizing feelings in my body and using what I now know is called grounding techniques.

Eventually, when I developed enough ability to speak and maintain a job- I finally applied to becoming a Makeup Artist at Ulta Beauty. I applied 6 times before I finally was accepted (and decided to take a Makeup course to have a foundation of legitacy under my belt) and was finally accepted.

This was a highlight of my life at the moment, but now needed to prove it. At that time, I had no car and no money. But, I had a dream and heard a whisper from God, that this is what I needed to do inorder to get our of my circumstances.

So, I walked.

I walked 5 hours to get to my job.
