Dan is a special human being. He is a friend, a teacher, a healer, and a truth teller. His authenticity and ability to communicate to all walks of life is rare. I found Dan on Instagram of all places, speaking about 5 truths and it was like he was talking to me. He throws what I like to call “heart darts” at you – transparent and empathetic words of wisdom. He has an innate skill to read people and help them navigate a variety of wellness needs. Through conversation, breath work, and practice Dan has taught me how to gain clarity and kick out negative thoughts and worry. The growth mindset edge gained through the skills I have learned with Dan’s help has brought me a new tool to gain happiness and wellness. Clarity and Peace in a crazy world are a gift.

At the highest level, the difference between good and great isn’t physical—it’s mental. Dan’s coaching gave me tools I use every single game to stay locked in, recover faster, and lead with more clarity. I can say without a doubt I’m playing some of the best hockey of my career because of what I learned with him. His breathwork training and mindset shifts should be a requirement for every pro athlete who wants to extend their career and play at their peak.

Dan’s guidance, coaching, has immensely helped me. He introduced me to cold exposure therapy, and to his breath work, both of which have been added to my routine. Dan’s way of thinking and teaching is a gift.
