“It's challenging to summarize my work with Dan -- we have walked through many, many emotional meadows together. One of the first things Dan and I worked on was orienting into the physical space and learning how to notice how I am feeling in that moment. Not how I was feeling last week or what I'm worried about for tomorrow. I learned how to slow down and notice right here, right now. That alone is a powerful skill.

From there, we've worked through grief, patriarchy, racism, belonging, ancestral connections, and celebration of self.  After many years of working with various (very helpful) therapists, this somatic work has been the most resonant for me and the results are tangible-- I literally feel more connected to my truth. Dan, a million Thank Yous for being on this journey!”

“I have been in Somatic Experiencing modalities with Dan for over four years, initially as an individual client seeking trauma relief. For the last four years I have been in a Somatic Experiencing small group facilitated by Dan. Within that structure, there is a focus on each of us as individuals while simultaneously accomplishing communal growth and knowledge.  

I have gained an enhanced understanding of my body, its patterns and my own capacities through learning methods of increased body awareness and self regulation. Dan has a deep foundation of training in trauma work coupled with his intuitive facilitation skills. I highly recommend working with Dan in individual, group and workshop settings.”

"I am lucky enough to have spent the last 4 years in a monthly somatic experiencing group with Dan. He is a gentle & intelligent facilitator and guide. He mixes just the right amount of humor & personal participation with his intentional leadership to create a comfortable, collaborative, non-hierarchical atmosphere in the group sessions both online or in person.  The care and time he takes to establish a safe and trusted connection among group members provides a place for authentic sharing with others and true self reflection.

I have learned and integrated valuable practices for self regulation of my nervous system, I have gained a deeper understanding of the systemic issues that affect us all, and I have become more comfortable with discussing these things out loud. I am very grateful to have somatic work as part of my life and plan to continue for some time. I highly recommend Dan for all that he is:  teacher, guide, friend, & mentor."
