Danielle Djelic

Danielle Djelic is a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Certified Life and Success Coach through The Jay Shetty Certification School and the Ah-Ha Healing School. Danielle’s career is defined by a singular, unwavering mission: to create a world where mental and emotional wellness are not luxuries, but accessible rights for all. She has spent the last several years weaving together clinical expertise with innovative “Emotional Fitness” coaching, establishing herself as a powerful advocate for transformative healing on both local and international platforms.

Danielle’s professional journey is a testament to the power of woman-led innovation. Previously, she was a vital contributor to the woman-owned business Thrive Urban Wellness, a premier holistic healing collective in Newmarket awarded the 2025/2026 Canadian Choice Award for “Best Wellness Center.” While her time at Thrive helped ground her practice in local, women-owned community care, Danielle has since expanded her reach to meet the evolving needs of a modern, global audience.

Currently, Danielle serves as a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with Alli Therapy, an award-winning, woman-owned organization dedicated to ensuring high-quality therapy is accessible when and where it is needed most. In this role, she provides remote psychotherapy across Ontario, focusing deeply on helping mothers and parents through one-to-one and couples therapy sessions. Danielle is also certified in Sex and Intimacy Therapy, specializing in the delicate and vital work of helping women who have experienced sexual abuse. She provides a compassionate, trauma-informed environment where survivors can begin to reclaim their bodies and minds, moving through the echoes of trauma toward a place of empowerment and reconnection. The mission of her work is to help women and parents break generational cycles of abuse within their families.

Her work extends beyond the traditional clinical setting through her role as an Emotional Fitness Coach with the Ah-Ha Healing School. Working within the world’s pioneering emotional fitness intelligence platform, Wilson 4Q, Danielle facilitates healing on a global scale. Ah-Ha Healing offers remote coaching and leads on-site healing retreats in beautiful spaces worldwide, providing individuals with the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional support required for profound transformation. By utilizing a science-backed methodology, she helps new and seasoned mothers strengthen their emotional health through a twelve-step program created by female entrepreneur Janice Taylor, whose decades of life and academic learning shaped this integrative healing modality.

Danielle’s commitment to service is equally evident in her extensive volunteer contributions. She serves as a Board Member, Supervisor, and chat responder for the Certified Listeners Society, where she conducts and supervises mental health interventions and provides emotional support to people in distress internationally. Her dedication to global justice is further reflected in her advocacy with Results Canada to end extreme poverty, as well as her history of service with Big Brothers Big Sisters and many local women’s shelters through the years.

Despite the breadth of her professional reach, Danielle remains focused on the quiet, sacred moments of the therapeutic process. She does not see herself as a lecturer, but as someone who holds space. For Danielle, the heart of her work lies in the one-to-one connection, the privilege of sitting with a client and allowing them the safety to share their stories and the depth of their experiences. She views this work as a profound act of service, driven by a deep sense of life purpose and intention.

While her academic background provided a vital foundation, her most profound education was earned far beyond the classroom walls. Some of her most humbling learning was forged in the quiet, heavy moments of motherhood as a mother of two, and in navigating the NICU with her son as well as the tender path of pregnancy loss, experiences that transformed her understanding of motherhood from a concept into a lived reality. This deep personal empathy became the heartbeat of her professional work.

Additionally, while working with an early intervention program through community services in rural Nova Scotia, she was given the opportunity to conduct home visits, stepping into the homes of rural families and sitting at their kitchen tables. In those shared spaces, she moved beyond clinical theory to witness the unfiltered truth of their lives. Danielle learned that the real barriers to mental and physical health are not always found in textbooks, but in the complex everyday struggles of parents doing their best in the face of isolation and other unimaginable barriers to support.

On challenging days, it is this greater purpose that keeps Danielle grounded, humbled, and open to receiving what each unique session may hold. She believes that to make the world a better place, one must first face their own inner wounds and healing journey. By doing her own inner work, she ensures she is fully present to receive and share space for the pain and healing of others. Through her unique blend of clinical skill and empathetic coaching, Danielle is not just changing lives, she is helping to heal the collective heart of the global community by breaking down ancient barriers of hierarchy and embracing a more humanistic and equal approach to helping women.
