Provider
Hi, I’m Dani Walker, a dual certified advanced practice nurse (APRN) specializing in perinatal and reproductive mental health.
I am both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and also have advanced training in perinatal mental health and integrative medicine. I bring both medical expertise and a deep respect for the whole person to every visit.
My passion is walking alongside individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond—offering a listening ear, thoughtful guidance, and a safe space to talk openly about challenges and hopes. My goal is for you to feel supported, informed, and empowered in your care.
I am a mom to two young kids, and have first hand experience with matrescence (what's that?), managing a “motherload” (I’m curious…) and trying to find the balance in it all. In my (very) spare time I enjoy being outside - hiking and running are like moving meditation for me and I really consider it essential for my own mental health. I have a deep passion for maternal and reproductive mental health, and I really look forward to getting to know my patients as individuals - relationship building is so important to me both personally, and in this work! I’m so glad you’re here <3
SoulBelly is rooted in transpersonal psychiatry, enriched by my years as a midwife. I honor the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while guiding individuals through life’s transformative thresholds, from pregnancy and postpartum to broader journeys of growth and healing. By blending evidence-based psychiatric care with a deep respect for meaning, resilience, and connection, I help people move toward wholeness and purpose.
Services
Psychiatric Evaluation
Our first visit together is a chance to hear your story, understand your needs, and create a plan that feels right for you. We’ll move at your pace and focus on what matters most to your well-being.
Medication Management
We’ll incorporate medications thoughtfully - whether this is a psychiatric medication, hormone therapy, or supplements. We’ll use follow-up visits as a time to check in, see how you’re feeling, and make adjustments to the treatment plan if needed. We’ll talk through any questions or concerns so you feel comfortable and supported in your treatment.
Integrative Support
Together, we’ll explore gentle options such as sleep, nutrition, movement and herbal support to complement medical care—helping you feel more balanced and resilient day to day.
I am excited to be offering appointments alongside a fabulous group of likeminded providers at Women’s Mental Health Specialists
Appointments can be scheduled with Dani, or another CNM/PMHNP directly through Women’s Mental health Specialists.
Services available for individuals residing in Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida.
