Dani has lived at the intersection of institutional trading and somatic awareness practice for over two decades. FPI is what happens when those two worlds are finally in the same room.
Dani began her trading career on the floor of the CBOE as an arbitrage clerk where market reading is instinct before it is analysis.
From there she traded ES Mini futures from 1999 to 2002, building the mechanical foundation that still drives her framework today. She went on to manage her father's electronic trading room at the University of Trading, then into institutional brokerage and risk management, and eventually into building a retail trading platform and supporting the gear, connectivity, and data infrastructure for HFT and institutional exchange direct connects.
The awareness work has roots that run just as deep. Her father introduced her to breathwork while coaching her through long distance running and used visualization exercises with his own traders at the University of Trading. That thread never left her.
Twelve years of yoga and meditation teaching followed, along with Reiki Master certification and CranioSacral Therapy practice. Her first rented healing space was in the Board of Trade. The two worlds had always been in the same place. What she discovered was that they were describing the same thing from opposite directions.
The market is indifferent to your patterns.
The trader lives inside them.
The Funded Path Institute is the synthesis. The three-layer framework exists because Dani spent two decades watching traders who had the knowledge and lacked the integration between what they knew and how they traded.
She also runs Arc and Acre Group, a real estate practice, and hosts Markets and Mindset every Wednesday in the Pitbull Traders Pit a free live session open to any trader ready to do the work beneath the trade.
