We were lucky to catch up with Daniela Peel recently and have shared our conversation below.

Daniela, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

Born and raised in Europe as an Army Brat, I cherish the early years of my life. They were filled with the warmth of family, shared with my younger brother and parents, who celebrated 35 years of marriage.

In 2004, I took my own steps down the aisle, full of dreams and aspirations. In 2008, I welcomed my incredible son into the world. But life had unexpected twists in store for me.

In 2012, I found myself facing a divorce that I never could have foreseen. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of a journey I could never have predicted.

Between 2013 and 2017, my life became a whirlwind of challenges. First, my parents’ marriage ended just a year after my own. Then, I mourned the loss of my grandmother and faced the tragic loss of an uncle in a fatal accident. An aunt battled cancer, while another suffered a stroke. It was during this time that I made a shocking discovery: the man I had always called Dad was, in fact, my stepfather. I embarked on a quest to find my biological father, connected with two half-siblings, and eventually, in 2020, located my biological sister. The most heart-wrenching of all was the passing of my beloved mother in 2017.

This series of life-altering events set me on a transformative journey of self-discovery, faith, and ultimately, a profound revelation of God’s purpose for my life – to offer solace and guidance to other women.

I often say that 2012 was my transformative year, as it set the stage for a profound process of healing, forgiveness, and self-love, which continues to this day. I rolled up my sleeves, faced the discomfort of divorce, and tackled the challenges life had thrown at me. It was time to engage in the profound work of healing and self-acceptance, an ongoing process.

My journey is no more unique than any other woman’s, but I have a deep passion for helping women. I express my care for them by sharing my personal experiences, stages of revelation, and healing, with the hope of encouraging their own journey toward healing.
Through The Heal Well Collective, my heart soars with excitement as I help women become intentional about their healing through self-care of their spirit, mind, and body. The Heal Well Collective serves as a sanctuary for professional women, offering coaching, curated events, healing retreats and resources to guide them toward wholeness in the company of like-minded, supportive women. I founded this organization in 2017, following the unexpected passing of my mother, who had endured the heartbreak of a divorce she never saw coming. I had finalized my own divorce in 2012, setting me on a path of transformation, renewed faith, and a deep understanding of God’s purpose in my life – to help other women.

The essence of my story, and what I hope people take away from it, is my sincere desire to help women. Through my authentic and transparent narrative, I aim to offer a guiding hand, genuine care, and a safe space for women to become healthier, thriving versions of themselves. Achieving wholeness in community.

Daniela, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My foray into my industry began with a series of life-altering events. In 2012, my own divorce set me on a path of self-discovery, faith, and a profound revelation of God’s purpose for my life – to support and empower women. This transformation ignited a passion within me to help other women navigate their own challenges and find healing and empowerment.

I am the founder and driving force behind The Heal Well Collective. Through this initiative, I am dedicated to helping women be intentional about their healing journey. We offer a safe and nurturing community where women can find solace, support, and resources to achieve wholeness in their lives. Our curated events, healing retreats, coaching and resources cover a range of areas, including spiritual well-being, mental and emotional health, and physical wellness.

In 2017, I launched The Heal Well Collective in honor of my mother, who tragically passed away unexpectedly. Her marriage of 35 years ended in a painful divorce, leaving her with nothing and struggling with both her health and mental well-being. My own experience with divorce and the challenges that followed ignited a passion to transform these hardships into an opportunity to support other women on their journeys.

As a Certified Professional Coach, Certified Mental Health Coach, & Sound Bath Practitioner, I help women focus on specific areas of their lives, including well-being, career, relationships, spirituality, health, and financial stability. I provide guidance, support, and tools to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

What sets me apart from others in my field is the authenticity and transparency of my story. I’ve personally walked the challenging path of healing, forgiveness, and self-love, and I understand the complexities of these journeys intimately. I genuinely care about women and their well-being, and my work is driven by a deep desire to see them become healthier, thriving versions of themselves.

I’m most proud of the positive impact The Heal Well Collective have had on the lives of the women I’ve worked with. The transformation and healing I’ve witnessed in their lives are a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and community.

For potential clients, followers, and fans, I want them to know that I am here to support, empower, and guide women through their unique journeys. I provide not just services but a genuine connection built on shared experiences. My mission is to help women find the strength within themselves to overcome challenges and thrive in life, and I am committed to being a source of inspiration and support on their path to healing and self-discovery.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

The most astonishing revelation came when I discovered that the man I had known as my dad was, in fact, my stepdad. I was adopted by him. It was a revelation that shook the very core of my identity, and it sent me on a quest to find my biological father, a journey that led to connecting with half-siblings and finally, in 2021, reuniting with my biological sister.

Through this tumultuous period, I learned the true meaning of resilience. I discovered that life’s hardships, no matter how relentless, do not have to define us. They can become the stepping stones to a higher purpose. In 2017, I faced another heart-wrenching loss when my beloved mother unexpectedly left this world. Her departure was like a gaping wound, but it also became a catalyst for transformation.

Rather than allowing these trials to break me, I let them fuel a fire within me. I realized that my journey had equipped me with a unique perspective and a profound understanding of the healing process. It was then that I discovered my purpose: to support other women on their paths to healing, self-discovery, and self-love.

Out of this revelation, The Heal Well Collective was born. It is my heartfelt commitment to helping women prioritize self-care for their spirit, mind, and body. The Heal Well Collective provides a safe haven, a nurturing community of like-minded women who share a common goal: achieving wholeness together.

I genuinely care about the well-being of women, and I am dedicated to helping them become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves. Through my own personal experiences and stages of revelation and healing, my heart is to encourage women to embrace their unique journeys. I understand that each woman’s path is distinct, but I firmly believe that with the right tools, resources, and a supportive community, we can all find healing, purpose, and joy.

The trials I’ve faced have molded me into a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of resilience and the ability to rise above life’s adversities. My story is one of turning pain into purpose and heartache into healing, and I am here to walk this transformative journey with every woman who seeks it. Together, we will find the strength to thrive, and we will become the authors of our own stories of triumph and resilience.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

Through all these trials, I never envisioned that I would one day start my own business, let alone one focused on helping women. The tears, the moments of wanting to give up, and the inner strength to push forward forged a new path for me. It was through these life experiences that the idea of starting my own business to support and empower other women was birthed.

But it wasn’t until 2017, when I faced yet another heart-wrenching loss with the unexpected transition of my beloved mother, that my purpose became undeniably clear. It was as if a divine revelation occurred, and God himself downloaded the name of my business and specifically what He called me to do.
