Welcome Danielle Vence

Owner, River City Reiki and Wellness

Danielle is a native of Kentucky having grown up in Lexington and moved to Louisville in 2007 after a few visits to the River City.  She saw so many incredible opportunities in Louisville, that she knew it was the right place to embark on her spiritual journey!

The first time Danielle was introduced to the Chakra System was when she attended a workshop at The Ursuline Motherhouse in 2008.  Growing up Catholic, she has felt a strong connection to the Blessed Mother, and “just happened” to stumble upon a healing workshop led by women from different faiths.  Danielle will tell you it has been quite a ride since that weekend in 2008!

Danielle loves the calmness that meditation brings and by incorporating it into her daily activities it has proven to work wonders! Danielle also believes that mindfulness and taking a proactive approach to healing is our responsibility, and she is excited to continue the work with others!

 All life experience provides wisdom to each new situation, and Danielle’s ability to empathize and bring compassion to her clients help to create safe spaces.  Both of these qualities allow Danielle to fulfill her purpose as a healing practitioner. 

Danielle is passionate about helping others find their true authentic self through various healing modalities.  She loves working with crystal energy as well as all four elements.  Danielle’s goals in the next few months are to become a Certified Moonologist and Astrologer.

You can reach Danielle at rcraw502@gmail.com to schedule an appointment or ask questions.

Danielle is offering Sound Bowl with Meditation classes on Sundays during the month of April (except April 9).

Introducing the Alexander Technique

Saturday, April 15 - 10:30am - 12:00pm

The Alexander Technique has been helping people move more easily and effectively for over 100 years. In this workshop, you will learn about the principles of the Technique, and about how it can be used in everyday life. Most of us have many habitual patterns of tension, learned both consciously and unconsciously. These patterns can be unlearned, enabling the possibility of new choices in posture, movement, and reaction. Through this awareness students will learn to manage the effects of stress, improve performance in stressful situations, and avoid repetitive-use injuries more effectively. These simple strategies can help you do just about anything with more ease and flexibility.

Class cost - $25 (to be paid at class)

Legacy, Love, and Laughter Workshop

April 22 - 8:00am - 12:00pm

Nature teaches us that winter never comes without a spring and a season of rebirth and renewal. What better time than Earth Day to remind us of this and refocus on what we need to grow in this new season? If you are experiencing a season of stagnation, feeling bogged down in feelings of depression and unable to move through a season of loss, join us for energizing holistic healing workshop focused on re-examining and reimagining your life through laughter, meditation, and useful actions you can incorporate into your daily life.

The four-hour Legacy, Love and Laughter Workshop will include:

Journaling and meditation: self-exploration and pinpointing what we feel is most important and valuable in our lives with a legacy and life reflection journaling session leading to a meditation on death and rebirth with Michelle Churchman, a departure (end of life) doula. Michelle will guide you through a mindfulness meditation to help us leave behind whatever does not serve us and to be reborn with a renewed sense of gratitude, grace and love of self and others.

Julia Vaughan will speak about dealing with loss. How to navigate concerns, stress and overwhelm to unlock your brain while being grateful for life and appreciating the memories with a smile. Julia helps guide you through loss without reliving the pain of the past trying to change things, no more asking why or saying I should have. You will walk away with a tool to see happier and better days.

And we’ll end the day with a dose of feel-good endorphins with laughing yoga. Laughter or Laughing Yoga (LY) incorporates a series of playful laughing exercises with yoga breathing (Pranayama), during which self-simulated laughter for 10 to 15 minutes can lead to genuine laughing and all the benefits laughing provides: reduced stress, improved immune responses, and improved emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. No poses or difficult physical exertion required.

Register today! $49 for the 1/2 day workshop, and you will receive a journal, too. Wear comfortable clothes and come as you are, ready to be renewed, recharged and reinvigorated.

We cannot wait to meet you and grow with you!

Space is limited, register asap!
