Meet DS

Dan Silvestri is a mindfulness-centred coach, hypnotherapist, counsellor and psychedelic facilitator 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, surviving a deeply challenging family life which led to a variety of further difficult times as a young adult in many areas of his life.

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

Alongside his close childhood friends and with others, Dan became a writer and performer in various heavy metal groups, having the chance to play and perform many live shows, as well as recording many EP's at various studios - including the famous Abbey Roads Recording Studio, London.

Sports, the arts and creativity have all helped Dan to remain deeply connected and loving, but he still considers himself a restless heart in looking to live his easy going and peaceful life to the fullest and centre time in nature pivotal to his health and well-being whilst being in service for others.

​

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 of being in deep service for others.

Dan discovered transformational insight, safety and inner-peace from his journey of self-discovery, it led to further formal training as a coach, counsellor, hypnotherapist and psychedelic facilitator, as well continued study and training in deep mindfulness, energy and embodied somatic practices so that he could help and serve others in deep tension and those struggling in their lives, personally and professionally.

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