Meet Danielle
The Salty Blossom
Danielle grew up on the east coast. She spent much of her time in the water paddleboarding in both the surf and flat water. In her 30s, Real Life became just a bit too much and she knew she needed a shift. As she was paddleboarding through Penny Creek in Charleston, she found herself contemplating the beautiful yellow flowers that grew alongside the marsh. These flowers are resilient, able to grow in both fresh and salt water.
She knew in that moment that this is what she also wanted to be. Resilient. Able to grow and thrive in any conditions. This moment was the start of The Salty Blossom.
Danielle now uses her trainings and tools to help others thrive as well, constantly attuned to the values that brought her here: Joy. Growth. Connection.
Yoga Instructor
Danielle Parker came to yoga via meditation. As an undergraduate, she decided to get an "easy A" by taking a course titled Meditation in Indian Culture. While she did not get an A, she did become hooked on meditation. More than a decade later, she came across yoga as she attempted to rediscover her meditation practice.
Danielle is trained in the lineage of Swami Satchidananda. When teaching, she focuses on correct alignment in order to enjoy yoga and to prevent injuries. Having trained in a variety of yoga styles, her classes include mindful vinyasa (flow) coupled with various other techniques, from yin yoga to gentle somatic yoga with the ultimate goal being mind-body-soul connection.
Expect to move. Expect to breathe. Expect to smile.
Reiki Master
Danielle grew up in a practical household where science and reason played important roles. She adhered to those roles for many years until, as an adult, her world came crashing down and she saw things differently. She became a Reiki practitioner in 2014 and, since then, has been intrigued and inspired by the energy surrounding all of us. She has studied the topic from a space of both science and personal experiences. Continuing her training, she became a Reiki Master in 2019 and has pursued continual trainings in Akashic Records. She comes to energy work from the perspective of playful exploration and endless curiosity.
Danielle offers distance and in-person sessions as well as a variety of trainings!
