Hi! I'm Danielle Lopez
I’m the founder of Enlighten Consulting Services. I help health, wellness, and longevity businesses explain what makes them different, reach the people they can help, and build partnerships that support their growth.
Why this work is personal
My reason for doing this work goes back to my dad. I saw my dad sick often when I was growing up. I later learned that he had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lived with PTSD from his service in the Vietnam War. As a child, I wanted to go into healthcare so I could help him. As my career took shape, that wish grew into a sense of purpose. I wanted to help people live healthier lives.
As my dad’s health declined, he came to rely on a power chair, and my mom became his caregiver. She had lived with mental illness for much of her life. In 2021, she died at 61 from causes related to alcoholism. A few months later, my parents’ home burned down, and I became my dad’s caregiver. I was grieving my mom, raising two young children with my husband, and still performing at a high level in my corporate role.
In 2024, I made the difficult decision to step away from my corporate job to focus on caring for my dad and my family. Watching his health decline made me think about my own health and what I could do to protect it. I wanted to be there for my children for as long as possible and be well enough to take an active part in their lives as they grew up.
That desire deepened my interest in health, wellness, and longevity. I sought mentorship from top business and mindset coaches, joined business development and high-performance communities, and earned health and wellness certifications that built on what I’d learned throughout my career.
How I help businesses grow
I founded Enlighten Consulting Services to support businesses that make healthier living possible for more people. I bring more than 20 years of experience across health and science-driven markets, with a background in sales, marketing, sales enablement, and business development.
Sales taught me to listen for what customers are trying to solve, where they hesitate, and what helps them feel confident taking the next step. Today, I use that perspective to help founders and small teams sharpen their messaging, create marketing and sales materials, and develop outreach and partnerships.
We start with what you want to achieve, what your customers need, and what your team has the capacity to take on. From there, I help you decide where to focus and work alongside you to put the plan into action.
PRISMATIC is a tribute to my mom
I wrote PRISMATIC: Step Out Of Past Shadows And Into Your Radiant Future in honor of my mother. It’s a memoir about resilience and transformation, with practical frameworks readers can use to navigate change, pursue their goals, and find more joy in their lives. Those tools apply across work and life, from career decisions to personal well-being.
Through Enlighten Consulting Services, I help businesses bring products, services, and experiences that support healthier living to more people. Through PRISMATIC, I share tools readers can use to build a life that feels more fulfilling. Both are part of the same mission for me. I want to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives.
I'd love to hear from you
If you’re growing a health, wellness, or longevity business and could use a sounding board for your marketing or partnership ideas, I’d be happy to talk.
