MEET THE FOUNDER

---

Hi! My name is Danielle Bryan, I am a Human Connection Activist & a Guide for people on their holistic healing & empowerment journey. 

A 2010 Graduate of Purdue University, I moved home to Indiana in 2020 after over a decade of traveling the country & living in various places, facilitating my own personal inner transformation. I now live in Terre Haute Indiana with my husband Jerome, son Cairo, bonus daughter Harper & our dog, Kiwi. 

In 2014 I realized I was not taught how to properly take care of myself & my mind was running rampant. I suffered from chronic inflammation, migraines, poor sleep & had a plethora of poor relationship decisions that I knew I needed to heal from. 

I began my healing journey starting with becoming a NASM Certified Personal Trainer then competing in & winning my WBFF Pro Fitness Model Card. Fueled by the desire to create an out-of-the-box approach to women's health, I went on to create DragonFit, a virtual wellness platform for women that served over 1,000 women in 5 years. As my own transformation continued to evolve, I dove deep into the field of Meditation & Mindfulness, receiving my 200 Hr Meditation Teacher Training, 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training in Baptiste Power Yoga, 300 Hr Yoga Teacher Training through Rippy Yoga. I also catalyzed my love for adventure & travel by personally facilitating over 33 retreats all over the world. 

In my over a decade of holding space for people's transformation, along with my own personal transformation, I have cultivated teachings & methods that allow a person to show up for themselves on the INSIDE, first. It creates shifts on the OUTSIDE that are proven to now stand the test of time. It is true energetic, grounded healing. 

Career Highlights:  Emcee at the first Yoga + Meditation event at Madison Square Garden Corporate Meditation at Dell, JW Marriott, TX Communities in Schools & the Hamilton Center for Mental Health Wellness Professional at the Women of Global Change 2018 Summit at Sea. Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator of The Medicine Connective Transformational Retreat Company.

My work is rooted in teaching Tools of Transformation that help the people I walk with develop a deeper relationship with themselves, others, & the Earth. Once that deeper relationship solidifies, I empower my clients to step out into the world as Inspiring Leaders of their Families & Communities. The areas of teachings that I specialize in are Vinyasa Yoga, Guided Breathwork Journeys, Multi-Lineage Spiritual Teachings, Quantum Physics & Emotional Intelligence. 

In 2020 I created Illumination Wellness Co. and we are bringing this work to our hometown through our 2000 square foot wellness event center hosting daily yoga & meditation classes, workshops, events & more.
