I'm Daniel, a coach, traveler, and student of life

Growing up, I was a miserable person. For the most part, life was beyond me. I didn’t have a handle on even the most basic social skills, I struggled to learn new things, and generally had no self worth. To put it bluntly, my life sucked because I lived in a mental prison cell, wishing that I could just be normal.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me, and this led into a deep depression which lasted my entire adolescence. All I knew is that I was slipping into a deep dark hole, and I didn’t know what to do about it.

On the brink of suicide, I turned to plant medicines as a means to explore my consciousness. After all, what did I have to lose? By that point death was looking like a shining light at the end of this dark tunnel we call life. I wanted to understand why I was suffering so much, and how I could make it stop.

Over the years hundreds of sessions past, with each becoming increasingly deeper and more profound. It was obvious that I was making leaps with healing, but I wanted to go deeper. One experience led to a kundalini awakening, and from that moment, my life permanently changed.

The mental prison cell I had spent my life in shattered completely. For the first time, I could see the truth – that life is malleable, a construct of our own consciousness. I was reborn in the truest sense of the word.

From that point in time, I decided to rewrite my reality. I realized that I could learn the skills I needed to have a great social life. I could build confidence and have a great romantic life. I could become more assertive, intelligent, charismatic, interesting… I saw a world full of opportunity, a sandbox where anything is possible. After all, why couldn’t it be?

So I left Australia and spent a year backpacking South America. I spent this time exploring different cultures, and shamanic traditions, and really began living the life that I desired. This was the turning point, and by taking a leap of faith, I finally tasted a life I once never thought possible. 

Upon returning to Australia, I decided I wanted to continue traveling. I was hooked on the adventure, the experiences, the people I met, the things I could learn. Then started the nomadic lifestyle. 

I hopped on the plane in 2018 and moved to Vietnam to teach English. After spending two and a half years in Southeast Asia, I flew to Mexico and spent 8 months in Central America. The time was occupied by backpacking, volunteering in hostels, and delving deeper into shamanic traditions.

From Guatemala, I flew to the US and spent a year working in Austin, TX. During this year I spent a lot of time connecting with the entrepreneur community, and decided to become a life coach to offer my knowledge and experience to those who need it.

My time in the US was coming to an end as an opportunity I had been moving towards actualized. I flew back to Ecuador and began working at a shamanic healing center in the Andes, where I worked closely with the sacred plant medicines of Ayahuasca and San Pedro.

What I have learned is that we are all capable of living incredible lives filled to the brim with love, joy, and opportunity. I’ve learned so much along my journey of exploration and growth. Now I want to give back and help you transform your reality into a place that you desire.
