This book soothed, healed, educated and empowered me on so many levels. I often fall asleep listening to the meditations. 

I first read this book after coming out of a shelter with four children. It reminded me of one very simple truth - only you can change your life.

I was referred to Dannielle after a toxic experience. One session with her got me back on track, began my healing process and was like five years of therapy. It is Dannielle who first witnessed that goddess energy within me. It is she who helped wake her up.

This book helped me find myself as I walked away from a life-long religion, a 15-year marriage and return to college at the age of 43. I reread her book again in 2019 and here I am.

Debbie's book was recommended by Dorothy McPhie and it has supported my personal work with learning about and not just accepting, but celebrating that shadowy part which resides within. That process began in within the first page.

I thought Dannielle Bryan was going to tell me I would ruin my life after I told her my idea for Waking Aphrodite. Instead, she recommended I read "Big Magic." The rest is history.

I started working with Dorothy after an even which could have destroyed my life.  She worked with me, kept me congruent with my vision and I consider her the midwife who helped me birth Waking Aphrodite.
