what gave rise to the art and the coaching
Just before my 40th birthday, I imploded my life. I left a 16-year marriage, a career as a counselor, my home, and the comfort of a predictable future. I struggled to find a compass for who I wanted to be.
From my earliest memory, I felt pressure to make things easier for others. When I strayed away from my people-pleasing ways to try to satisfy my own desires, I was quickly shut down. I was taught that my desires weren’t important and I obediently sought approval above knowing and honoring myself.
On paper, my life looked "good”, but on the inside, I felt invisible, frustrated, and angry.
Everything changed when I stopped looking for permission and started reclaiming my sensuality. Tapping into my sensual self unlocked my joy, my creativity, and my confidence. I created Just Daina to explore my sense of self. In this exploration I found my power and, ultimately, my worthiness.
Today, I help others use the fuel of sensuality to ignite their own vibrant, transformed lives. You deserve to be seen, heard, and completely alive.

what gave rise to the art and the coaching
About a decade ago, I imploded my life. I left my marriage of 16 years. I left my job as a counselor, my home, my friends, and every ounce of control I thought I might have in my future. I struggled for about a decade trying to find a compass for who I wanted to be.
From my earliest memory, I felt pressure to make things easier for others. When I strayed away from my people-pleasing ways to try to satisfy my own desires, I was quickly shut down. From these experiences, I perceived that my desires weren’t important and I obediently sought approval above knowing and honoring myself.
Although I recognize I had a “good” life, I spent much of it feeling angry, frustrated, and invisible.
I left this sad existence behind by rediscovering my sensuality and allowing it to increase my joy, my confidence, and my creativity. I conceived Just Daina to explore my sense of self and in this exploration I found my power and, ultimately, my worthiness.
I am excited to share my discoveries with anyone who is looking for inspiration to transform, and may want the fuel of sensuality to ignite the flames of vibrance in their lives.
