Daniele Gates Coach, Retreat Host and Facilitator

Daniele is the founder of Yinsa, a global wellness community rooted in ancient healing practices.

With over 15 years of experience leading transformational travel around the world — from Costa Rica to Washington D.C., Bali, the Dominican Republic, and Italy — she has cultivated brave, inclusive spaces for healing and self-discovery.

A Certified Yoga and Energy Medicine Practitioner, Daniele specializes in yoga, Ayurveda, somatic healing, and chakra-based work. Her deep understanding of these modalities informs the full retreat experiences she designs — including curriculum creation, budgeting, venue scouting, marketing, and team leadership.

Daniele is deeply committed to ethically, intentionally, and sustainably hosting retreats that honor the land, respect local cultures, and serve participants with care and consciousness. Through the Yinsa model, she has successfully trained dozens of practitioners to become heart-centered, profitable retreat leaders, empowering them to step into aligned leadership.

Her retreats are more than vacations. They are sacred spaces for true healing, embodied growth, and meaningful community.

More About Me

"I created this platform because the world needs more leaders who know how to hold space — not just plan trips. Root to Rise is about building retreats from your soul outward."

— Daniele Gates

What Services Do We Offer?

Private Coaching

This isn’t life coaching. It’s deep, transformational guidance rooted in spiritual practice, ancestral wisdom, and lived experience.

Yinsa Coaching is for those who are ready to make real changes — in their work, relationships, or sense of self — and are willing to show up with honesty and heart. Together, we identify what's holding you back, reconnect you to your purpose, and build practical pathways forward.

Our sessions may include breathwork, somatic tools, guided reflection, ritual, or straight-up strategy — depending on what’s most needed. This is coaching that honors the whole you: your story, your spirit, and your power.

Whether you’re navigating a major transition, launching something new, or learning to live in alignment, you don’t have to do it alone.

Retreats

Yinsa Retreats are not vacations — they’re initiations.

Each experience is thoughtfully curated to offer deep healing, cultural immersion, and sacred connection to self and community. We travel with purpose, combining chakra-based practices, ancestral rituals, and local wisdom to create retreats that are both expansive and grounding.

Expect daily workshops, Bhakti practice, embodied movement, nourishing meals, and unforgettable excursions — all aligned with a central theme. You won’t just rest — you’ll remember who you are beneath the noise.

Whether you’re coming to heal, release, reconnect, or rise, Yinsa Retreats hold space for your full transformation.

Coursework

Yinsa Courses are where spiritual practice meets practical tools.

Whether you're learning how to lead global retreats, hold space for others, or deepen your own healing, our digital offerings are designed to be transformational and immediately applicable. We blend wisdom traditions, energetics, and business strategy to give you the structure and support to move with clarity and purpose.

These aren’t passive programs — they’re invitations to step into leadership, integrity, and impact. With a mix of video lessons, downloadable tools, guided practices, and optional live support, each course helps you turn intention into action.

You’re not just learning — you’re becoming
