Dr. Hampton's childhood studies focused on the art of figure drawing, sculpture and human anatomy and led her to a successful career as a professional art director in New York City. She began experiencing migraines in college and turned to acupuncture as a treatment after western methods failed to relieve her pain. Her headaches stopped after the first treatment. After several years as an art director, Danielle chose to leave New York to pursue her lifelong interest in healing. Her experience with acupuncture directed her toward Chinese medicine. She attended the International Institute of Chinese Medicine in Santa Fe and received her D.O.M. in 1995. Dr. Hampton was the creator and director for 9 years of the Eldorado Acupuncture and Wellness Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a small association of practitioners dedicated to healing and holistic wellness.

As a professional alternative medical practitioner, Dr Hampton strives to stay in the cutting edge of alternative medicine or energy medicine. After becoming licensed as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine in New Mexico, Dr. Hampton began to explore the nature of healing. This lead her on a journey of studying energy medicine, spirituality, and theories in quantum physics. Dr. Hampton now has a number of alternative modalities she utilizes in her practice that allow her to address difficult and persistent conditions more effectively. She has become adept in her diagnosis in accessing the modality(s) which will provide the greatest effectiveness in treatment. Her central intention, derived from traditional Chinese medicine, is to remind the body of how to be healthy by restoring those functions that have become imbalanced due to illness, injury, or stress. All modalities offered by Dr. Hampton share the common theme of pursuing balance by encouraging and supporting the body's natural tendency toward health.

After a decade of successful practice in New Mexico, Dr. Hampton relocated to Great Barrington, Massachusetts where she maintains a private practice and is a member of the Acupuncture Staff at the Canyon Ranch in Lenox. Canyon Ranch, a well known health spa, is known for its high standard of care and innovation in Integrative Medicine.

The healthy human body begins life with a built-in system of controls which maintain it in a healthy condition. Throughout our lives, many physical and psychological factors affect that system, sometimes resulting in the malfunction of the controls. These factors include toxic substances and pathogens, exposure to chemicals and allergens, gene defects, and traumatic or chronic emotional and psychological disturbances. Such malfunctions can result in different types of ill health, depending on which particular controls have been altered by these outside factors. Dr. Hampton's current practice uses several different approaches to diagnose these malfunctions and restore the patient's internal controls to their natural, healthy state.

Dr. Hampton's newest and most frequently used modality is the NeuroModulation Technique (NMT). This needleless technique works effectively on both chronic and acute ailments, including allergies, pain, migraines, common illnesses, arthritis and other joint conditions, degenerative diseases, environmental sensitivities, fatigue, insomnia, asthma, emotional and psychological disorders, side-effects of allopathic treatments such as chemotherapy, and many others. NMT can be applied to patients of all ages, from infancy to senior citizen. In each case, Dr. Hampton uses muscle response testing to assess the autonomic control system (ACS), which includes both the autonomic nervous system (controlling involuntary functions such as digestion, breathing, etc.) and the psychological and emotional factors that affect the autonomic nervous system. By communicating with the ACS through carefully defined "queries", Dr. Hampton can diagnose specific areas where the ACS is failing to properly control the body's system, and can apply appropriate correction statements that redirect the ACS toward normal, healthy function. She then uses the stimulation of the vertebrae using a Arthrostim instrument to gently tap on the vertebrae while the patient engages in a specific pattern of breathing. This simple, yet powerful treatment can result in immediate relief of back pain, muscle spasms, and joint discomfort from arthritis and other joint diseases. Beyond the immediate relief, however, these modalities address the root of the problem. Unlike many allopathic modalities, the goal of these techniques is not only to eliminate discomfort, but to correct fundamental imbalances in the ACS, allow the body to heal damaged tissues, and restore long-term health to the affected parts. Most conditions can be addressed over a period of days to several months through a series of one-hour sessions. This painless process takes place in the safe and relaxing atmosphere of the Wellness Center or over the phone.
