My Story

Dan Silvestri is a Transformational Coach, Hypnotherapist - Neuro Linguistics Programming (NLP), Facilitator, Level 2 Counsellor, with a background as a singer-lyricist, barber and entrepreneur.

 

He has a great love of the wild outdoors, adventure sports, art, music, creativity, and all of that great wholesome hearty stuff!

 

Outside: Dan grew up on the outside – with a rough and turbulent childhood, and experiencing a deeply challenging family life, the after affects of surviving adversities led to a variety of further difficult times as a young adult. His post traumatic stress, depression and anxiety, subsequently affected many areas of his life, personal development, close relationships and partners, businesses, and career.

He found a love and cathartic release in music, creativity and the wild outdoors. From surfing, skating, wild - walking, running, swimming. He loves spending a large amount of time getting into nature, and travelling in his van around the United Kingdom and Europe.

​

Alongside close old friends, and meeting new people, Dan became a writer and performer in various heavy metal groups. He played and performed live shows, as well as recording many EP's at various studios - a highlight includes recording at the famous Abbey Roads Recording Studio, London!

Sports, fitness, time in Nature, the arts and creativity are a large part of Dan's life, and have been pivitol to his health and well-being particularly during the challenging times.

​

Inside: As much as Dan had enjoyed many successes in his previous retail & service led business adventures, and most recently a succesful 10 year business career in barbering, several areas of his life were in-tension.

Dan stepped aside to breathe, and put his 'life on hold' to reconsider - everything.

Dan sought for deeper meaning, healing, growth and well-being. This took him on a very deep self-discovery journey, and it was as much about a journey for himself, as it was for those around him and his future career in helping others.

Dan discovered transformational insight, safety and inner-peace from his journey of self-discovery, it led to further formal training to learn how to deeply hold space and help others transform, Dan continued to become a professional practitioner and studied as a Professional Life & Personal Performance Coach (The Coaching Academy), Professional Hypnotherapist & Neuro Lynguistics Programming (Paul Mckenna, Steve Crabb, Tina Taylor), TQUK Level 2 Counselling Skills (The Skills Network), Certified Psychedelic Facilitator (Essence Education), Certificate in Integrative Psychedelic Studies (Vital, Cohort 3), as well continued  personal study, training and mentoring in deep mindfulness, energy, Qi Gong, and other various embodied somatic practices.

Dan now offers a uniquely humbling, deeply compassionate, kind, creative, nature centred, and matter of fact approach to his expansive work.

​

Life Today:  Dan spent countless years of his free time, restless energy and every penny whilst still running a business to invest and upskill himself so he could professionally and genuinely help and serve others with their life and well-being challenges from a multidisciplinary and creative approach.

Dan hasn't wanted for much other than to realise a dream of an emotionally connected, easy going and peaceful life - a life that's financially stable, safe, secure, with an opportunity to raise a family.

Today, Dan lives deeply connected, and an easy going and peaceful life. He works with individuals, couples, families, entrepreneurs, businesses, teams, creatives, academics, schools, colleges and universities and more.

He holds a compassionate and expansive space providing deep coaching, facilitation, talks, programmes and masterclasses, helping his clients discover more about themselves, their emotions, relating and business or performance related issues, so that clients can see and get the best of themselves, their relationships, work and life.

​

With great respect:

Dan wouldn't be in the position he's in today if it wasn't for compassionate and generous mentors, sponsors, friends, clients, and strangers, who have in some way or another, unconditionally offered their time, energy, resources and kindness.

 

The power and transformation of unconditional love, embodied kindness, connection and deep compassion goes much further than you may initially think...
