Being Soulfully Aligned

The new site is on its way

Something new is taking shape here.

The full site is coming this fall. In the meantime, we can still connect.

Three ways in

Start where you are

Whether you are in the middle of a pivot, an expansion, or a reckoning, there is a door open right now.

01

Book a discovery call

Thirty minutes, no pitch. We talk about what feels unsettled or out of sync, and whether coaching together is the right fit. You will leave the call with something useful either way.

02

Request a recorded reading

A personalized tarot and oracle reading. You bring the question. I pull the cards and send you a voice recording, plus a written transcript, both yours to keep and come back to.

03

Request a Human Design report

Your chart, read and written up for you. How you are built to make decisions, where you take in the world reliably, and where you have been running on energy that was never yours to spend.

Who you would be working with

Danielle DeRuiter-Williams

I'm Danielle. Danni to most people who know me.

Five years ago I was delivering some of my company's highest-stakes contracts. We had grown from five people to more than twenty in nine months and were bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. Around the same time my mom arrived at my doorstep walking with a cane, which I had not seen coming, and I became her caretaker. I was sixty pounds heavier than I am now, barely sleeping, and every Sunday night I'd lie awake wracked with anxiety about the week ahead because of what was happening between people inside that company.

So I left. The first thing I did was start reading again, and meditating, and taking time for my body and my mind and my spirit. Slowing down enough to pour into myself is what laid the foundation for how I take care of myself now.

What I understood later is that the workplace carried a lot of the same dynamics I grew up with, and that is exactly why I couldn't heal from them while I was still inside it.

The retreats came after that, each one opening new depth. On the most recent one I didn't get the big aha I've come to expect. It arrived subtler and more gradual, which is what happens once the work becomes part of your everyday life rather than something you go do in a yoga shala in the mountains.

Then came the biggest heartbreak of my life, which made me question everything I believed and understood to be true. In the wake of it I had to find my way back to myself, learn to trust myself and my intuition, learn how to not sacrifice myself and instead choose myself, and open myself up to receiving what I deserve.

My spiritual practice is part of how I listen.

People come to me when they're trying to come back to themselves, and to close the distance between how they've been showing up and what their soul is actually for.

I'm a Michigan native who spent a decade in California before setting down roots in New Orleans. Daughter, best friend, plant and dog mom, and someone who will absolutely photograph a meal, because of the love I put into the dishes I cook.

About the readings

Every reading comes to you as a voice recording with a written transcript alongside it. No live call to schedule, no notes to scramble through. Listen when you have the space for it, read it back when you would rather read, and return to both a month later when they mean something different.

LovePartnership, dating, the people closest to you, and what you are being asked to give and receive.
LifeTransitions, moves, a decision you keep turning over, the season you find yourself in.
CareerWork, calling, money, leadership, and what wants to come next.
GriefLoss, endings, and what you are carrying. Gentle, unhurried, and made for listening more than once.
GeneralNo specific question. An open read on where you are and what is moving.

About Human Design

Human Design maps how you are built to make decisions and where you are most likely to get worn down. It draws on astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and a few other lineages, and it uses your birth date, time, and place to generate a chart that is specific to you.

What I use it for is simpler than the system sounds. Your chart shows where you take in the world reliably and where you are wide open, absorbing everybody else's energy and mistaking it for your own. It names your decision-making strategy, which is the way you are wired to know something is a yes before your mind has caught up and started arguing. And it shows you the places you have been performing a kind of energy you do not consistently have, which is usually the part that lands hardest.

Most people finish a Human Design reading with language for something they already suspected about themselves. That is the point. Your chart is a mirror, and what you do with what you see in it is yours.

Reports run from a plain-language overview of your type, strategy, authority, and profile, through to deeper maps built around a particular season or question. You bring your birth date, time, and place. I read the chart and write it up for you.

I have had Human Design reports done for me in the past, and nothing really resonated. I simply didn't find them very helpful. UNTIL I had a Human Design report done by Danielle. One of the many differences between her work and others that I've worked with is that she uses her deep gifts in mediumship and energy healing to guide her work. The report itself holds healing energy and guidance from the Divine, in addition to all the practical and real-world information in the report. It immediately illuminated internal tensions of mine and offered practical advice for ways forward.

I will keep my report and know that I will return to it often in the coming months and years. I couldn't recommend Danielle's services more.

What the full site will hold

Here is what I am building toward, so you know what to come back for.

  • Soulfully Aligned Coaching Private one-to-one work for people who want to trust themselves more deeply and make decisions from what feels true. Spacious, responsive, shaped by what is present rather than a fixed agenda.
  • The Archetype Framework Seven archetypes, from Visionary to Oracle to Empress, offering language for how alignment moves through you without boxing you in. Yours to find and to work with.
  • Readings and workbooks Recorded readings alongside seasonal offerings built around new moons, full moons, and the turns of the year, with room to write your way through them.
  • Soulfully Actualized Society The collective, for people who want this work in community instead of alone. Gatherings, practice, and company for the parts that are hard to do by yourself.
  • Human Design reports Your chart written up in plain language, from a general overview through to deeper maps built around a season or a question.
  • Courses and The Well Self-paced learning and a growing library of tools, prompts, and practices you can reach for between sessions.
