Who I am

I’m Daiana Chapman (she/her), a human being who loves walking in nature, caring for her dogs, and finding beauty in life’s simple moments.

Connection, compassion, and presence are at the heart of how I live and work. I am deeply committed to offering a warm, affirming, and culturally responsive space where individuals from all walks of life feel safe, seen, and supported in their healing, honoring the full spectrum of identities and experiences with care and respect.

Why I Do This

I know what it feels like to weather life’s storms and the deep relief of feeling rooted, supported, and seen.

Healing is possible even when it doesn’t feel that way
