Biography

Daniela Steiner, Ph.D, born in 1964, is a bilingual (English & Spanish) certified Life Coach & Spiritual Counselor, with over 20 years in the field of personal growth, healing and transformation. She offers holistic sessions at her office, by phone or video conference to individuals, couples, families and groups who want to grow and achieve a better quality of life.

Daniela earned a degree in architecture at the Universidad Rafael Urdaneta (URU) in Venezuela in 1988, and she began working as a specialist in human interaction in the architectural industry. She began researching the mental processes that enable us to interact with and adapt to our environment, due to her already present inclination in transpersonal and humanistic fields. These studies shifted her interest to the development processes that can lead to healthier personality functioning in unison with the care of the soul. She adopts a holistic approach which gathers the values, memories, behavior, patterns, and the potentials of a human being, united with his/her spirituality.

In 1991, she looked for an approach where she could find a balance between mind and soul. This approach was The Silva Method, a scientifically based and spiritual driven method, designed to make better use of our mental processes.

In 1993, she dedicated her studies of Psychotherapy and collaborated in workshops with other professionals in the same field.

In 1996, Daniela started her own private practice in Maracaibo, Venezuela, working with Psychotherapy and intuitive energy evaluations. In her private sessions, causes of the thinking patterns that needed to be healed were identified and transformed through creative visualization and dialogue. Furthermore, intuitive energy evaluations were incorporated in individuals to find areas that needed the most healing. She has worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, mainly through individual and couple sessions.

Daniela also has done children's workshops, using Creative Visualization and Art Therapy to enhance self-esteem in the participants. She also gave speeches to adults to motivate personal growth and positive thinking for spiritual centers, schools, and real-estate companies.

In 1998, she was trained in Rebirthing Breathwork, a technique that helps release emotions, negative beliefs and experiences. This release facilitates the identification of fears that hold individuals back. This allows them to see their lives with more clarity, identify their true purpose and goals, and redirect their actions.

In 2003, Daniela was awarded a degree in Psychotherapy from the Federacion Politecnica de Diplomados (FEDINE). Due to her interest in the field of creative energy (sexual energy), she also completed a two year specialization in "Sexual Aggression: Silence Rupture and Vital Reconstruction" from the Centro de Terapia Cognitiva in Madrid, Spain.

Daniela in 2005, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Tecena American University (International Programs) in Miami, Florida. In 2007, she completed a Master's Degree in Psychotherapy from the Open University of Advanced Sciences, Inc. also located in Miami.

In September 2010, after moving to Florida, Daniela began her work as a Life Coach at the Aventura Stress Relief Center in Aventura, Florida.

In 2011, she received a Life Coach Certification from Certified Coaches Federation, which is a practice that helps clients identify and achieve personal and professional goals.

In the same year, she graduated from the American Institute of Holistic Theology, where she obtained a degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Holistic Ministries. These studies have the principal purpose to guide the client to learn self-exploration and gain self-empowerment tools for spiritual development and personal growth. Daniela promotes and encourages a healing process from within, which brings positive and permanent changes in life, helping to achieve maturity and emotional freedom.

In October 2011, Daniela opened her own private practice, also offering Spiritual Counseling Services.

By April 2013, she will have completed her studies at the American Institute of Holistic Theology, becoming an Ordained Minister specializing in integral spiritual development.

Daniela has been married since 1986 and has two sons. She now resides with her family in Aventura, Florida.
