"I don't know where we're going,
but I know how to get there."
The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life

A session with Dan is a journey into the very roots – the beginning points, the origin stories – of what’s imbalancing and inhibiting you today.

Intuitive Counseling

Intuitive Counseling uses open dialogue to explore what’s consciously available, intuition and energy work to uncover what’s unseen in the field and in the unconscious, and integrative conversation to put it all together.  It unearths the held pains, tensions and reactivity from past experiences that have later manifested as what we experience as anxiety, depression, fear, physical pain and disorder, and more.

Working collaboratively and compassionately with you, together you’ll make the unconscious conscious and from there map out how to relate to the previously imbalanced energy and emotion differently. Like lion trackers, you’ll together retrace the footsteps – patiently and  studiously paying attention to all the helpful markers along the way – that lead you back to the beginning of your patterns, so you can understand what happened, when it happened, why it happened, and, importantly, how to choose a different journey going forward. 

Dan is a keen student of consciousness and holds an ever-curious, caring and non-judgemental mind as he helps you move slowly deeper and deeper into the why behind the patterns that inhibit you.  He draws from lots of different disciplines, influences and experiences that include:

  • 20 years of Buddhist study and meditation;
  • a keen interest in emotional intelligence and processing, incorporating the work of David Hawkins, Karla McLaren, Gabor Mate, to name just a few;
  • a diverse set of experiences with various entheogenic medicines and ceremonial settings;
  • countless hundreds of hours deep in sensory deprivation and altered state spaces; 
  • incorporation of methodologies and concepts such as epigenetics/ancestral influences, applied kinesiology, Compassionate Inquiry, IFS/parts work, DBT, and others that he’s learned about along the way
Testimonials About Work With Dan

Energy Work

The energy work portion of sessions utilises a wide range of vibrational medicine tools to assist in restoring the energy body – of which your physical body is a part – back to balance, including:

  • Singing bowls
  • Tuning forks
  • Light therapy
  • Hands healing
  • Smudges
  • Guided visualizations
  • and more

Most people experience this work as both deeply relaxing and profoundly change-inducing. 

It’s important to be aware that Dan is not a licensed mental healthcare provider, and Intuitive Counseling serves best as an adjunct to, not a replacement for, licensed mental healthcare.  We recommend incorporating both into your life for optimum mental and emotional health.  Dan loves to work alongside licensed therapists to help you meet your goals, and in fact many of his clients are themselves licensed therapists who utilitize the different perspectives and philosophies that Intuitive Counseling offers, so they can incorporate them – where appropriate – into their own practices. 

Sessions with Dan are offered on a donation basis.  A sliding scale of $100-$150 per hour is suggested only.
