Danielle Rose Federico
CEO | Founder of The Modern Spiritualist
​
My work is rooted in real life—the bold, beautiful, and often messy path of personal evolution.
The concept behind The Modern Spiritualist is the belief that when you align body, mind, and center, you awaken the most authentic and beautiful version of yourself.
It is in this alignment that clarity, strength, and purpose emerge—guiding you to live consciously, and powerfully.
I love helping others
discover alignment in their lives.
With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, I have built and led four company's while navigating auto-immune challenges, parenting, reinvention, and self-discovery.
My coaching blends strategic mentorship with intuitive depth, guiding clients through career pivots, lifestyle refinement, emotional resilience, and purpose-driven growth.

Author | Transformational Designer | Conscious Living Coach | Career and Business Coach
My work spans over two decades of hands-on experience across industries—from creative direction, fashion and beauty to wellness leadership to organizational consulting and team development.
I’ve lived through deep transformation,
and that journey guides the way I work.
I integrate strategic clarity with lived insight to support individuals and organizations ready to evolve through challenge, transition, and growth.
I understand that clarity isn’t always linear. It’s shaped by mindset shifts, conscious choices, and the courage to show up fully—especially when things feel uncertain or complex.
Whether I’m guiding a team through realignment, supporting someone in reclaiming their voice, or curating a wardrobe that reflects their evolving essence, my approach is always rooted in authenticity and beauty.
I help people reconnect with the truth of who they are, honor the path that has shaped them, and step forward with clarity, grace, and radiant purpose—living powerfully, and authentically in every chapter of life.

professional experience
Business
Previous Owner of
Modern Spirit Wellness,
The Spirit Within,
IMA Models | Future Pro Model | Face Designs Makeup Artistry
My career began in corporate strategy and business development, where I held roles at Putnam Investments,
Deloitte & Touche, and Marsh & McLennan—building a foundation in systems thinking, leadership dynamics, and organizational growth.
​
I later transitioned into talent development and infrastructure planning,
before answering a creative calling in 2003 and launching Face Designs Makeup Artistry.
​
Beauty
Through esthetics and wardrobe consulting for bridal, runway, and lifestyle clients,
I helped women express confidence and authenticity through personal style.
​
I founded a Boston-based runway school and modeling agency,
where I mentored emerging talent and curated fashion experiences that celebrated individuality.
​
As my creative influence expanded, I partnered with an affluent
Newbury Street salon as a Creative Director and Talent Coordinator—
offering professional services through my modeling agency and makeup artistry brand.
This collaboration elevated my platform, allowing me to integrate design, beauty,
and talent development in a high-end, client-centered environment.
Wellness
My path continued into wellness and lifestyle coaching—founding and
leading two integrative healing centers focused on movement, mindfulness, and community care.
​
I developed educational programs, facilitated somatic and emotional
wellness experiences and created spaces for people to reconnect with themselves and their values.
​
I am the creator behind Path of the Rose,
and Modern Freedom Movement -
both initiatives designed to support personal growth, conscious leadership, and intentional living across life stages.
​
I curate botanical products such as body oils, and facial oils that are organic and rooted in nature.

Lifestyle
I blend intuitive insight with practical coaching tools to
help clients navigate career pivots, emotional resilience, lifestyle refinement,
and whole-self transformation.
My approach is grounded in clarity, creativity, and real-world strategy—
supporting people in designing lives and careers that feel aligned, expressive, and sustainable.
​
I am currently writing my first book—
a multidimensional exploration of transformational coaching, trauma recovery, and embodied leadership.
Drawing from my lived experience, client work, and intuitive frameworks,
the book offers a grounded yet soulful approach to healing and reinvention.
It weaves together practical tools, archetypal wisdom, and real-world stories to
support readers in reclaiming their voice, refining their path, and leading with authenticity.
The book is designed to meet readers at pivotal thresholds—whether navigating burnout,
identity shifts, or the call to rise—and guide them toward clarity, resilience, and conscious impact.

Kevin D - Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Management Leader

I would highly recommend Danielle for targeted focused results for Executive/Career coaching. It is a personalized experience but integrates the framework that Danielle has developed after many years of coaching. The framework adds tools that you are not going to find in any MBA program, or accumulate on your own as an industry veteran. And most importantly the process enables people who value their career as a pillar of their life to ensure balance and integrate all the other aspects of life for a true work life balance. Lastly, the program reminded me that we pursue our careers out of passion for the work. In many corporate environments today incentives are created that can lead us away from our true passions, Danielle's coaching teaches how to make sure that does not happen.

I've been the recipient of a lot of coaching and Danielle truly brings a unique gift to this space that is hard to put into words. She is smart, empathetic and highly intuitive- she sees through the noise in a way that supports you to truly hone in on what matters most when focusing on your goals. She has a gentle, calming presence which helps balance my busy, entrepreneurial spirit. Danielle was able to help me narrow down some business plans by prioritizing what matters most. I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone that is looking to uplevel their game.

Danielle did my makeup for a photoshoot, and I could not have been more satisfied! She really took her time choosing what would be just right for me, according to my requests and what she felt would work best with my skin tone, my features, etc. Not only is she an incredibly talented makeup artist, but she also is a magnificent person who is kind, present and a great communicator. I felt so calm during the whole makeup application (her voice and demeanor are so soothing!) which was so wonderful because photoshoots can be very stressful! She even went above and beyond and gifted me an old umbrella to get back to my car when it started raining out! Needless to say, highly recommended!!! ​
