WHY I BUILT О̄NDA
The space we
needed all along.
After over 15 years in reproductive genetics, I kept seeing the same thing. Brilliant, caring professionals and clinicians running on empty, with nowhere built just for them.
Then my family and I spent a year traveling the world. Witnessing how other cultures work, rest, and care for one another made something obvious that I could not see from the inside - it doesn't have to be this way.
I believe most of us have more potential for meaning, joy, and success than our current pace and systems allows us to reach. Not because we lack ambition, but because depletion makes everything harder. Well-being isn't a luxury. It's the foundation for a thriving career and life. And it’s where we begin.
О̄nda means wave. When we lean into this work, we create individual waves of change that ripple outward into our workplaces, our communities, and our planet. That's what makes this a collective.
We're glad you found us. You belong here. Welcome to The О̄nda Collective

TESTIMONIALS
See what
The Collective is saying.
“This was, without a doubt, the most valuable CEU experience I have had in 24 years of clinical practice. I feel seen, heard, and valued.
I learned so much and plan to bring the tools from this conference back to my hospital/colleagues.
This was a career-saving experience.”
— Christy Stanley, MS, CGC, Retreat and Sip & Share Attendee
“Do not hesitate to sign up for an О̄nda offering! Through personal coaching, in-person retreats, and monthly Sip & Shares, Daniela has helped me grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She is a brilliant, compassionate counselor, gifted facilitator, fearless change-maker, and tireless champion of others. Her energy is contagious, and her ability to connect people, foster meaningful dialogue, and inspire personal insight is remarkable.”
— Brynn Persky, MS, CGC, Retreat and Sip & Share Attendee
“In over 20 years of attending various conferences, the Read & Reconnect Retreat has been the most relevant, educational, meaningful and impactful.
It is the first time that I truly believe there will be a lasting, profound impression on me as a genetic counselor and as a person.
— Lindsey Campbell, MS, CGC, Retreat Attendee
