The Art of Living Well: Stories, Wisdom & Inspiration from 20 Years in the Wellness Industry

Drawing on 21 years across health, beauty, wellness and business, Danielle will share the personal stories and lessons that have shaped her life and career, from trusting her intuition to defining success on her own terms. Expect an honest, uplifting conversation about creating a life that feels healthy, meaningful and true to who you are.

Danielle Collins is an entrepreneur, international speaker, business coach, twice bestselling author and creator of the globally recognised Face Yoga Expert brand. For more than 21 years, her career has centred around helping people look and feel their best using simple, natural techniques that support both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Danielle began her career teaching yoga, wellness and Face Yoga, quickly becoming the pioneer responsible for bringing Face Yoga to a global audience. She went on to create an internationally recognised Face Yoga Teacher Training Academy, with thousands of teachers now teaching her method in more than 75 countries. Today, her community spans more than 1.4 million people across social media, her YouTube channel has more than half a million subscribers and over 40 million views, and she hosts The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, where she explores health, wellbeing, personal growth, beauty and business with leading experts and inspiring guests.

Danielle is also the founder of the award-winning Fusion by Danielle Collins skincare range and the author of two bestselling books, Danielle Collins’ Face Yoga and The Face Yoga Journal. She wrote both books to make the techniques and philosophy she had spent years teaching accessible to people around the world, combining practical Face Yoga with a wider approach to self-care, relaxation and feeling good from within.

As an international speaker, Danielle has spoken on stages around the world to audiences ranging from wellness and beauty communities to entrepreneurs, businesses and corporate audiences. Her speaking has evolved beyond Face Yoga to draw on the wider lessons of her career, particularly around wellbeing, intuition, consistency, personal branding, finding a clear niche, creating success on your own terms and building a life and career without putting your health at the bottom of the list.

Her expertise has been featured extensively across hundreds of media outlets, including The Telegraph, The Times, The Daily Mail, Women’s Health and Vogue, alongside numerous television appearances on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
