Dr. Danielle Campbell

“Dr. Danielle is truly amazing, and I’m so glad I found her! (Everyone else at Purple Mountain is also so friendly and welcoming; it’s such a special place.)

I really appreciate the one-on-one attention and the feeling that she cares deeply about helping me feel better. Dr. Danielle is so easy to talk to, listens intently to all of my symptoms and goals, asks the right questions to address areas that need attention, and gives me exercises every week that help strengthen my body and target the areas I want to improve. I’m provided with a clear action plan for the week, and she’s even taken videos of me performing some of the exercises to help me remember form and give me tips for associated breath work. My body feels so much better after our sessions, and I’m glad I finally prioritized working on myself.

Dr. Danielle has been a wonderful coach, and I look forward to our meetings every week to continue my healing journey. I 1000% recommend her!”
