our approach

SCIENCE + INTUITION

We unite evidence-backed knowledge with wisdom and embodied practice. Every offering blends the intellectual with the experiential, so insight becomes actionable.

HANDS-ON + COMMUNITY

You'll move beyond theory into creative practices, authentic dialogue, and meaningful connection with peers who understand the work. Integration happens together.

PROFESSIONAL CREDIBILITY

Your time counts. Our programs are approved for continuing education credits, so you can turn professional development into hours that matter for your licensing and growth.

our founder,
your guide

Daniela Young is a board-certified genetic counselor and founder of The Ōnda Collective. After 15 years as a clinical genetic counselor and researcher in reproductive genetics, she made a bold choice. She and her family left their American life behind for a yearlong adventure around the world.

That journey transformed her perspective. She began to see our society's relentless pace and obsession with productivity not as admirable, but as a threat to the human spirit and our ability to hear the quiet callings within ourselves. She also recognized how much we have to offer, both for our own personal growth and for the greater good. From this pivotal experience, The Ōnda Collective was born.

Today, Daniela combines her decades of clinical counseling expertise with her experience in community development and coaching to offer programs that truly work. She and her team have guided hundreds of genetic counselors and professionals through retreats, ERG workshops, webinars, and community programming. Clients have gone on to unlock their full potential, strengthen their teams, and create meaningful change in their workplaces and fields.

Daniela is dedicated to helping you discover what's possible when you invest in yourself and your community.
