About me
Dan is an author, life coach, mediator, cuddle therapist and award-winning, licenced and insured Lomi Lomi massage practitioner and teacher.
His massages, listed by Time Out magazine as "one of the bests in London", won him and his team the South East Prestige Award for Best Wellness Service Of The Year in Greater London, and the award of the Best Lomi Lomi Practice in London by SME news both in 2022. Dan's work and teaching are unique.
With degrees in theology, organisational development supervision and bank management, he's got versatile experience both in working in the corporate sector and in the field of complementary therapy.
Dan's liberating journey towards self-expression and compassion guided him through shadows and light, expending the embodiment of this human existence to be one where your eyes see heaven but your feet are rooted in the earth.
Working and teaching internationally he runs retreats, workshops and courses, and brings the gift of Lomi to individuals, teams and organisations throughout the world. As the author of 'The Here and Now Breathing Practice', Dan helps people worldwide to connect to the present moment and make that their embodied reality.
With his team, the Stay-In-Touch team, he offers day-long 4-, 6- and 8-handed rites of passage, wedding and leadership development programmes to prepare people for and to mark important milestones in their lives.
As a lecturer and panelist of the leadership development section at the historic Embodiment Conference 2020, Dan is passionate about the understanding and exploration of how the evolution of humankind integrates our individual journeys with our collaborative process.
Dan's Collective Embodiment workshops offer a safe and creative space to have a tangible experience of how each of us can be part of an evolving community - through exploring the world of multiple-handed Lomi Lomi massage rituals.
He's also been working as a service provider for The Grove and the Champney's, two of the most prestigious luxury spa hotels in the United Kingdom, as well as for triyoga Camden, one of London's best and most renowned yoga studios.
Along his journey he has had the honour of treating many beautiful individuals, some of them perhaps known to you, including self-realised spiritual teachers Mooji and Jim Eaton, Grammy Awarded Lady Rizo, rock star and crowdfunding pioneer Amanda Palmer, writer Neil Gaiman, singer-songwriters like Susie Ro, Justin Freeman and Sam Garrett, renowned UK tantra teacher, Jan Day, and yoga teacher authorities like Jeff Phenix, Kwali Kumara and James French.
Companies that Dan has also worked with include IBM, Kraft, EDS, Prezi, British Telecom, MagNet Community Bank, Generali, Cemex, Deloitte, Anton Dell, the Champneys, The Grove and triyoga.
His mission is to help facilitate the awakening of humankind, with the gift of helping people to come home to their bodies in conscious loving awareness and to share that through loving touch.
