MEDIA bio

Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, author, and the founder of SoulHakker—a wellness platform that blends ancient energetic practices with modern science to help clients heal from the inside out.

With over two decades at the forefront of New York City’s wellness scene, Danielle has worked with top doctors, developed supplement lines, and guided thousands through detox, nutrition, and chronic illness recovery. Her background spans functional medicine, yoga, massage therapy, and energy healing.

After surviving thyroid cancer in her 30s—and later navigating post-COVID autoimmune complications and a resurgence of Lyme—Danielle discovered the missing link in her own healing: nervous system regulation and internal martial arts. Through practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, and somatic restoration, she rebuilt her health and developed a new approach to true resilience.

Now through SoulHakker, Danielle offers an integrative model of healing that combines clinical insight with energy work and trauma-informed practices.

She is the author of Smile at Your Challenges and Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make, and her expertise has been featured on FOX News, CBS, ABC, NY1, PIX11, The New York Post, USA Today, and Reader’s Digest.

Danielle has worked with leading wellness institutions including The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, Exhale Spa, and The Peninsula Spa, and previously served at the Upper West Side clinic of health expert Oz Garcia. She is a sought-after speaker on holistic health, mind-body medicine, and the future of energy-based healing.

topics DANIELLE 
CAN SPEAK on

  • In a culture that glorifies productivity and performance, the body often pays the price. Danielle explores how true resilience is born not from doing more—but from learning to regulate, rest, and repair the nervous system. This talk redefines success through the lens of energy conservation and sustainable wellness.

  • Why do some people do everything "right" and still feel unwell? Danielle reveals how the missing piece isn’t more effort—but energetic alignment. This topic unpacks how unresolved trauma, chronic stress, and emotional stagnation silently drain the body, and what it really takes to restore your inner power source.

  • From lab results to supplements, modern wellness offers tools—but often lacks the depth of energetic truth. Danielle bridges the gap by showing how energy management and subtle body work can unlock breakthroughs where traditional methods fall short. It’s where science meets soul, and where healing begins

  • Sometimes the healthiest diet still doesn’t deliver results. Danielle dives into what your body might really be asking for—nervous system safety, emotional release, or energetic reconnection—and how to recognize when it's time to shift from fixing symptoms to healing the system.

  • Tai Chi, Qigong, and internal martial arts aren’t just gentle movements—they’re precise tools to recalibrate the body’s energy and rebuild its resilience. Danielle shares how these ancient practices can rewire the nervous system, clear emotional debris, and support profound healing at the cellular level.

  • The nervous system holds the key to healing everything from autoimmune flare-ups to chronic fatigue. In this eye-opening talk, Danielle introduces a powerful, trauma-informed lens on health—revealing how a dysregulated system may be the root cause behind your most persistent health struggles.

  • When conventional labs come back “normal” but you know something’s off, you’re not crazy—you’re likely missing a deeper trigger. Danielle breaks down common hidden culprits behind chronic illness, including energetic depletion, limbic looping, and trauma imprints that never got released.

  • Danielle shares her personal journey through Lyme disease and post-COVID complications, revealing the surprising physiological and energetic overlaps between two of today’s most complex and misunderstood illnesses. A must-hear for those navigating chronic symptoms with no clear diagnosis.

  • As chronic illness rates climb, the path forward won’t come from protocol alone—it will come from integration. Danielle paints a compelling picture of what’s next in wellness: a fusion of somatics, science, and spiritual wisdom that treats the body as an ecosystem, not a machine.

PRAISE for DANIELLE’S books

  • "As a spokesmodel, looking fit is important. I was shocked by the diet and exercise mistakes I was making until I read this book."

    CLAUDIA

  • "Danielle offers easy, concrete food tips along with encouraging mindfulness. A fantastic guide for lasting health and wellness."

    Renee

  • "This book taught me to laugh at my past mistakes and empowered me to create new habits with confidence."

    Jackie Scanlan

  • "Not only is Danielle's book funny, entertaining, and to the point, I can totally relate to it! I've tried every possible diet and after reading this I have a new look on my eating habits and all the trends I've tried. Following her advice I've lost weight and feel a lot less stressed and obsessed about food!"

    KERRY SMITH

  • "Danielle's book really distinguishes the difference between men and women and why following a program that works for my husband just can't work for me. The author's tips I've applied have already led to noticeable changes in my body.”

    BEVERLY AGOADO

  • "As a fashion model giving up my favorite foods seemed impossible and when I would diet the results would only be temporary, frustrating leaving me feeling hungry. After hiring Danielle as my nutritionist and buying her book I have the body I've always wanted"

    ALLISON

  • "Danielle Pashko cleverly details the mistakes that even those who consider themselves well versed on this topic make on a daily basis. Breaking Your Fat Girl Habits is a soup to nuts bible detailing common misconceptions in our food choices, how we may actually be sabotaging our workouts, the dark side of juicing and more..."
