Danielle Loveless is the founder of Harmony In Movement.

How Danielle came here. In 2006 Danielle recognised that she needed another way of exercising - after 18 years of participating in competitive and recreational team and individual sports, including athletics, swimming, basketball, soccer, triathlon and half marathon running at local, regional, state and national levels, to more alternate or extreme sports such as adventure racing, 24 hour mountain bike racing and 9 foot wave surfing on shallow reefs. Danielle had also been working in the sports and fitness industry for over 10 years at gyms, sports centres, swimming pools, physiotherapy practices and universities.  

At this time Danielle had a degree in Biomedical Science, a degree in Exercise Science with Honours, and was a third of the way through a PhD in Exercise Science, and had at least 10 years of high level coaching and training, so she was well educated on how to train the body for 'maximum health and performance'. However, with all this knowledge and over 18 years experience in sports training Danielle still found that more often than not she experienced pain or discomfort in her body, not only during exercise and sports participation, but on a daily basis. These discomforts weren't only associated with the many injuries she had sustained in the 18 years of sports (from rolled ankles, knee pain - patellar tracking problems, hip tension and pain, sciatic nerve pain, tight neck and shoulders, shoulder dislocations, deep cuts, blisters, concussion and heat exhaustion, just to name a few), but also stemming from some 'unknown' conditions. After searching high and low for answers, Danielle had to conclude (as many health professionals had told her) that some physcial pains, conditions or discomforts cannot be explained and may never be solved. 

Around a similar time Danielle came across the Universal Medicine clinic, which offered a different way of looking at the body and how we live in it, considering that maybe it is not about finding answers to physical conditions, aches and pains, but looking at why such conditions appear in for first place, or what such conditions were trying to tell our body, was there a message in it. Including that maybe we need to look deeper and consider the way we are moving and exercising our body, and that it may actually not be inline with the true purpose and function of our body - and that possibly over time we have become lost, continuously increasing the 'fitness bar' of what is considered healthy and fit, to much more beyond what is the truth of our body. Danielle pondered if anyone had ever considered that the increase in world records was actually not natural for our bodies, but a sign of the continuous push or pressure we have placed on our bodies. 

At about the age of 25 Danielle realised that she wasn't content with the conclusion that every day discomforts in her body and pains and strains during exercise is normal or may never be worked out -she disagreed with the statement 'no pain no gain' and recognised if she was to continue pushing her body with exercise in the way that she was, the quality of her body and her life at the age of 40, 50 or 60 was going to be poor and likely to impact on her ability to work and live independently in her later life. This was easy to postulate, by looking at many of the veteran athletes in her sports clubs, or family and friends. 

At this time Danielle set out to discover a new way of exercising that was much more honoring of what the body truly needs. She recognised that all of the injuries, pains and strains were her body telling her to slow down and that she was doing too much, beyond what was truly needed. Danielle then asked why had she gone this far with her body in exercise - in which time she started to see that the exercise and sports had become a way to feel full-filled, or to gain a sense of achievement and confidence, or to get her body to look a certain way, or to get recognition and acceptance from others. An uncomfortable pill to swallow at the time, but an exposure that is now well welcomed. These exposures then unfolded a whole new way of not only considering her body, but her whole life or way of being, with the next questions asked why did she need to feel full-filled, or need to feel as if she had confidence, or need to feel a sense of achievement or want recognition and acceptance from others.....

From here
Danielle reached a point where she began to consider her self and life in a whole new way, from here working on and dealing with what was being exposed in her life that was not true or was causing injury, pain or harm in her body. This process was and is not about making her life and her body better, but in discovering that the way she was living was not true and to work towards a more true and natural way of living in and honoring her body, not impulsed from a false or empty place, but coming from a place of acceptance and love for her body, her life and her self.

So why Harmony In Movement 
Danielle wanted to share her discoveries of exercise and a new way of exercise training with others, so there was another option out there, which she had not had when she was looking. In this time and to this day Danielle understands that it is essential for her to begin to master and be able to live this with and for her self first. This is an ongoing development, with the continuous support, healing, education and training with and about the body and how to move and exercise with it in a more honoring way. All Danielle's healing and training is with Universal Medicine which Danielle soon discovered was the one place that the truth of life and a true explanation of what she was experiencing and how to heal this was actually being offered and presented in truth. So to the best of her ability Danielle shares a new way of being and exercising with the body, through her business Harmony In Movement - which is about bringing Harmony back into our body and our Movement!

Work Ethic and Conduct
To the best of her ability Danielle lives and works with energetic integrity, quality and honesty. This includes the knowing that what is lived and chosen at home on a daily basis is what comes with her every day to work and in every meeting with another. This way of living and work principals are in line with the code of ethics and conduct of the Esoteric Practitioners Association of which Danielle is accredited with.

Danielle lives and works with this knowingness.
