Thank you for being here. I’ll give you a brief run-through of my story.
I started the healing & awakening journey when I was 18, as a freshman in college. I ate the psilocybin mushroom for the first time and then was quickly drawn into the journey of the soul. I was agnostic or atheistic before this experience, but within eight months, I was living like a Buddhist monk. I began a devout practice of Buddhism and yoga while earning my B.A.s in Philosophy and Economics, and then my M.A. in Liberal Studies with a focus in Peace & Reconciliation.
Following college, I continued my studies and practices of a socially engaged spirituality through my writing, activism, creativity, and path of yoga— or “union with God.” In this time, my health failed me, initiating a many-year journey into the dark night of the soul, complete with a total breakdown of my mind and body, and, indeed, my conditioned self. Through perseverance and commitment to my spiritual path, I learned and applied numerous modalities of healing, such as right diet, energy work, psycho-somatic release and integration, mantra, voice opening and development, flow-based creativity, prayer, ceremonial healing, visualization, and manifestation techniques.
Through these years, I traveled around the world, studying with Buddhist and Hindu teachers in monasteries and ashrams, healing with plant medicines and shamans, and learning other skills like qiqong, breathwork, and Kambo ceremony with other teachers. At this time, I was trained as a reiki practitioner, yoga teacher, and Kambo practitioner.
Also during this time, I worked professionally as a writer. For the past six years, I have worked as the personal writing assistant to Wen I Chang, one of the most renowned hotel developers in the U.S., known for his groundbreaking hotel project Gaia Napa Valley Hotel, which was the first hotel in the world to be awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification. I have assisted Mr. Chang with several books on Eastern spirituality, global awakening, quantum physics, art, and many other topics of mysticism, the occult, philosophy, and new thought. We are currently working on an interdisciplinary book on reincarnation.
After seven years on the path with Ayahuasca, I recovered my lost fragments of my soul, reintegrated myself at a higher level of consciousness, and learned to follow the paths of healing and sacred right relationship with diligence and devotion. For the past year, I was a facilitator at Pachamama Sanctuary in Casco, Maine—the #1 most popular Ayahuasca retreat center in the U.S. At the end of 2025, I left my role there to focus full-time on my own offerings of coaching, authorship, and courses.
In January 2026, I published Heal ∙ Align ∙ Manifest: Self-Realization as the Path of Manifestation Mastery, a guidebook detailing my two decades’ worth of applied knowledge and practice based on ancient Eastern mystical paths, plant medicine preparation protocols, modern science, and New Age manifestation techniques.
I currently live in Portland, Maine. I offer my services locally and non-locally to those looking to heal and realize their highest potential through the process of self-realization. Please reach out with any questions, for collaborations, or for a free consult call.
With love,
Dan
