Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, author, and the visionary behind Soulhakker™, a cutting-edge wellness platform that merges ancient energetic practices with modern science to catalyze healing from the inside out.

With more than two decades at the forefront of New York City’s elite wellness scene, Pashko has collaborated with leading physicians, developed custom supplement lines, and helped thousands transform their health through detoxification, nutrition, and mind-body integration. Her training spans functional medicine, yoga, massage therapy, somatic healing, and internal martial arts. But her true authority comes from what she’s lived through.

After losing her mother to cancer at 13, Pashko became fiercely committed to health—by the time she was 16, she was living alone in Manhattan, working multiple jobs while pursuing a vision of invincibility through wellness. By her early 30s, she had become a trusted expert in the field, but her own cancer diagnosis, followed by chronic Lyme and post-COVID complications, shattered her illusion of control. Despite doing everything “right,” she got sick. That reckoning became her awakening.

What healed her wasn’t more optimization, it was nervous system regulation, unprocessed grief, and ancient practices like Qigong and Tai Chi. Pashko now teaches what she had to learn the hard way: true healing is not about perfecting your health, it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Through Soulhakker™, Pashko offers an integrative model of healing that combines clinical precision with trauma-informed emotional work and energetics. She’s redefining what resilience looks like for a new generation of men and women—those who are ready to stop pushing through and start healing for real.

Pashko is the author of, “Smile at Your Challenges” and “Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make.” Her work has been featured in FOX & Friends, USA Today, CBS, ABC, NY1, Reader’s Digest, PIX11, and The New York Post. She has held positions at prestigious institutions including The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, Exhale Spa, and The Peninsula Spa, and has worked in clinical practice with renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia. Today, Pashko is a sought-after voice on holistic health, the emotional roots of chronic illness, and the future of energy-based healing.
