Speaker, Author &
Media Personality
A popular conference and retreat speaker, Danna has a passion for encouraging others toward greater purpose and balance of body, soul and spirit. Years of mentoring and teaching have earned her the reputation of being a quality woman’s “total life coach”. A survivor of marital infidelity, the heartbreak of rebellious children, the paralysis of unrelenting panic attacks and prolonged bondage to food, she has personally discovered that God’s Word is truly “living and active and more powerful than a two-edged sword.” Danna’s approach to integrating living truths of Scripture with real life and her willingness to “go deep” and authentically share her own journey in both the spoken and written word, has endeared her in the hearts of thousands.
Danna is author of Scale Down...a Realistic Guide to Balancing Body, Soul & Spirit and The Heat Is On...Health, Humor & Hope for Women Facing Menopause. She is currently working on two new book projects, What Happened to My Life? and Change Your Mind, Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.
Danna has produced and co-hosted a daily Christian radio talk show and hosted her own weekly show on KPRZ Radio in San Diego, California. She has been featured on “Life Today”, “The 700 Club”, “Living the Life” and is a frequent guest on Moody Broadcasting’s “Midday Connection”.
Danna and her husband, Lew call San Diego home and are parents to two adult daughters and their adopted grandson.
Presentation Topics
The Balancing Act
The difference between reality and expectation determines your “misery factor”. Is your life spinning out of control because you are simply spread too thin and are trying to do too much? How can you live a life of “balance” and still get the things you need to get done...done? Using biblical examples and a dose of humor, Danna teaches women to choose “the best from all the good” and add both emotional and time margin into their lives in God-honoring ways. The result can be a life of peace and joy in the midst of a busy life. Offered as a single keynote or full weekend retreat.
What Happened to My Life?
This message is for every woman who finds herself occasionally—or often—tired, frustrated and discontent with daily life. And, who doesn’t? Whether dealing with a life-shattering crisis or simply feeling that life is not what you had hoped it would be, “What Happened to My Life?” will help you move from discontentment to joy by learning to set your mind on things above, despite the circumstances of life. Offered as a single keynote or full weekend retreat.
Extreme Makeover...God’s Edition
God created us body, soul and spirit. He desires that we use our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions to live holy and effective lives. Danna provides both scriptural and practical applications to help women lead more abundant lives. This makes an excellent 3-5 session retreat or conference. Her makeover sessions include:
• THE MIND: You are what you think...so be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• THE BODY: Develop a healthy perspective about beauty and health.
• THE HEART: Overcome negative emotions and learn to love others as Christ loves us.
• THE SPIRIT: From extreme makeover to extreme takeover...learn to surrender everything to the Lord.
The One Thing
What one thing, if you did it consistently, would make such a dramatic impact that it would transform you profoundly, improve you significantly and satisfy you deeply? The real answers to a rich and victorious life are not as elusive as we may think. Danna shares what she has learned about “The One Thing” and how we can find deep life satisfaction by putting first things first. CD available. [click here to listen to presentation online]
Can You Hear Me Now?
Too often, our daily lives are over-scheduled, over-stressed and under-blessed. Busyness dulls the voice of God in our life. If we’d only listen, we could hear Him calling, “Can you hear me now?” In this one hour presentation, Danna shares four keys to quieting our spirit and finding true intimacy with our first Love.
Scale Down, Live It Up!
Churches all over the country agree this powerful retreat workshop and small group curriculum is so much more than a weight loss program. It meets women exactly where they are with regard to their habits and body image and takes them beneath the surface to first discover their inner beauty. With a strong concentration on biblically renewing the mind, Danna teaches how to change habits from the inside out and shares very practical lifestyle tips. Her one session workshop has become a very popular addition to her retreats and conferences as women of all shapes and sizes learn how to present their bodies “as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.”
A Note from Danna
Being known as “The Christian Woman’s Total Life Coach” may sound to some like I think “I’ve arrived”. Of course, none of us arrive this side of heaven; we are all a work in progress. However, over the last fifty-plus years, my professional and personal life experiences have given me many growth opportunities to follow God and let Him mold and refine me. He alone knows the extent of the transformation that was (and is still) needed in my life!
What I truly hope to communicate through personal illustrations, Bible teaching and even humor, is that we can find solutions to all life’s challenges in God’s Word. Most often, I meet my audiences at their felt needs—discontentment with their bodies, painful relationships or emotional struggles—and strive to help move them toward the One Who has all the answers. There is no greater joy than showing women a better way... first through a personal relationship with Christ and then into a deeper more triumphant walk with Him.

Popular for retreats, conferences, luncheons, teas, holiday outreach events and the like, Danna and Sylvia will provide an experience that won't soon be forgotten.
Real Friends…The Reward of Authentic Connection
Using the illustration of the unique friendship between David and Jonathan in Old Testament times, Danna and Sylvia explore the difference between a good friendship and a great one…one that is truly intimate…that will stand the test of time.
Messy Lives
No matter how you slice it, life can sometimes be just plain messy. Using the messes in their own lives as examples, Danna and Sylvia place great emphasis on God’s healing power and the complete and utter transformation that can happen to a life fully sold out to Him. Audiences will laugh and maybe even cry, but what these ladies desire most is that the listener realizes what can happen when the focus stays on God, giving Him the glory for the grace He extends to those who seek Him with all their hearts.
False Fronts
Why is it that we women so often try to be something we’re not? Danna and Sylvia dig deep into the price we pay for not being authentic and the courage God provides when we are ready to surrender every single corner of our lives to Him.
