Who I Am

Hi! I’m Danya (she/her). A multi-dimensional/passionate neurodivergent woman. I’m also a lifelong learner, complex PTSD survivor, and a Heart-centred clinical hypnotherapist.

I didn’t create HypKnow by Heart to teach people something new.
I created it to help them Remember what’s always been True.

There was a time when I could understand everything but feel almost nothing.
I was praised for my awareness, my insight, my ability to explain myself —
yet inside, I still felt lost.

My body carried stories my mind couldn’t translate.
And when I finally began to listen,
it led me back to my heart.

It wasn’t a lightning bolt moment, but a slow awakening.
A remembering through tears, breath, and the willingness to stay with Self.
A realization that healing doesn’t come from trying harder…
it comes from learning to Know + Trust + Love yourSelf again.

That’s what HypKnow by Heart was born from —
a homecoming to the wisdom that lives within each of us.

I’m a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, trained at the Academy of Clinical hypnotherapy and registered with ARCH.


What I offer goes beyond this title.

A supportive space to allow, integrate, and align…

Body, Breath, and Beliefs to form our BEing.

Subconscious, Somatics, Spirit, and Systems to form our Self,


And I Believe BEing our Selves is the most Powerful thing we can Do.

My work is rooted in + guided by trauma-informed wisdom, decolonizing values, and heart-centred practice.

You’ll find that each session is less about ‘fixing’,
and more about unfolding + expanding what’s already whole.

You get to meet yourSelf beneath the surface and

Say YES to your Wholeness.

YES!

My Story

Trigger Warning: mentions suicide

For most of my life, I lived in my head. Intellectual, aware, endlessly reflecting, always trying to “understand” my way into healing. I could explain my patterns, trace them back to childhood, even name the trauma, but my body still didn’t feel Safe. I mistook insight for integration. Awareness for aliveness.

Then came the breaking point… sitting in the hospital room after my second suicide attempt. I had given so much of my love, care, and devotion away that there was none left for me. I felt empty. Disconnected. Done.

And then, something shifted. A quiet voice/Knowing rose from somewhere deep inside — my higher Self, my Heart, my Truth — whispering:
“If you can love everyone else so fiercely, why not direct some of that to YOU?”

That moment cracked me open. I began to realize that no one had ever been there for me the way I could be there for mySelf. And that, somehow, was the beginning of everything. Of answering my Calling. It wasn’t a sudden transformation, but a steady remembering full of initiations, dark nights of the soul, tower moments, Heart awakenings, and hermit phases. And it all lead me Here. For that, I will always be so Grateful.

What started as survival became Devotion. A slow, imperfect (read: Authentic AF), radiant devotion to my own Becoming. I began healing not from ambition or obligation, but from curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion, and Connection to Self. I let my body lead. I let my Heart teach me what my thinking mind never could.

For so long, I’d been told that service comes before Self. It was the very motto of my school back in India, repeated every morning until it carved itself into me. But the more I lived it, the more hollow I felt. Because true service comes from Self. Not Self-abandonment/neglect. It comes from Wholeness. From the overflowing Heart. From Knowing yourSelf by Heart.

As a child, my teachers would say “Know it by heart” when they meant memorize it. But that kind of knowing turned learning into performance. It made me forget that Wisdom lives in the Body, in lived experience, in the pulse that beats beneath mental understanding.

Now, I Know that to Know by Heart is to Embody Truth so fully+wholly that it becomes who you are. It’s the difference between speaking about healing and Living it.

That’s what HypKnow by Heart is… the embodiment of everything I’ve Learned, Lived, and Loved into BEing. It’s where the shadows of the subconscious meet the sacred Self. Where Science and Spirit stop competing and start conversing. Where healing becomes less about fixing and more about remembering + resonating + rewiring.

Today, I walk beside others on that same path Home. Those who are neurodivergent, trauma survivors, deep feelers/thinkers, recovering perfectionists/people pleasers, the sensitive (and strong) souls resistant to rigid, oppressive systems, or simply tired of trying to heal the way they were taught to. My work blends heart-centred hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and spiritual integration, all rooted in trauma-informed and decolonized care.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about Feeling Safer. Listening Deeper. Becoming Truer.

We bring the nervous system into safety, the subconscious into partnership, and the Self into leadership.

Because I Know now that healing isn’t really about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to + expanding on who you’ve always Been… before the noise, before the conditioning, before you were told that Love had to be earned (instead of being taught to Remember that it’s who you truly ARE).

And if you’re ready to come home to that Knowing… to Remember your Wholeness not with your thinking mind, but with your entire Being/Heart... then you’re already halfway there and in the right place!

I would be so honoured to help support you on that journey. <3
