About Daniel

Hello there!

 

I'm Daniel - a life coach, leadership consultant, yoga teacher, and writer.

​

From a young age, I had the gnawing feeling that there was more to life than meets the eye. This was confirmed when I started my first corporate job and immediately knew that working a stable 9-5 until retirement wasn't the life for me. The problem? I didn't know what that missing piece was, and thus began my quarter life crisis.

​

I went through many significant life transitions, shifts, and pattern overhauls in order to discover what life was all about. I optimised my health and wellness, immersed myself in personal development, and changed career paths numerous times. But no matter how many goals I achieved, I continued to feel that something was still missing.

​

Through years of exploration and inquiry, I've discovered that the thing I wanted was quite simple: lasting happiness. I was driven by a constant sense of lack and an inability to accept myself as I was. I found temporary relief in the achievement of a goal and the enjoyment of hobbies and activities but as soon as that was over, I was back to feeling dissatisfied with where I was. With this realisation, I began investigating the nature of happiness: what it is, where it comes from, and why it feels so fleeting.

​

Today, I see that happiness is a choice we make in every moment. It is our natural state which is always accessible here and now, only we constantly get in our own way. You see, all of our limitations are a product of our beliefs. We hold so tightly to ideas about who we are and how things should be which create a tremendous amount of stress, anxiety, and suffering. We live in a state of fear and conflict, projecting expectations and constantly reacting to situations in ways that hurt ourselves and those around us. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

​

All we want in life is peace, love, and happiness, yet we've never taken the time to investigate the barriers that hold us back from such a life. This is what personal transformation is all about: letting go of our limiting beliefs to rediscover the freedom that is always here. My inner work is far from over, but the insights I've gathered has revealed a more joyful, vibrant, and colourful way of being.

​

One of the gifts I've discovered along the way is my ability to hold space and guide others through their challenges to emerge with greater clarity and confidence about their decisions. My work draws from my background in neuroscience, psychology, and yoga as well as the wisdom of spiritual teachers including Jiddu Krishnamurti, Francis Lucille, Rupert Spira, and David Deida.

​

I'm here to support your inner transformation so that you can overcome your fears and insecurities to discover more freedom. My hope is that your transformation will pave the way for you to share your greatest gifts with others.
