Hi! I’m Dan

................

I’m not a life coach, mindset mentor, spiritual guide, business coach, or therapist.

I’m the guy you go to when you’ve tried them already, and they didn't cut it.  I'll show you how to unlock your mind, unleash your heart, ignite your magic, and set yourself truly free.

I've been named LA's #1 Life Coach by Yelp since 2017, a Loving Spiritual Savage by my clients, and "the best kind of weirdo" by my friends.

But I like to think of myself as a passionate healer and relentless student of life.

Let me show you around my world.

 

PILLARS OF ALCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION

 

Think of your mind like an iceberg floating in the ocean. The tip you see above water represents your conscious mind—the logical voice that sets goals and makes plans. But beneath the surface lies the massive unconscious mind, holding 94-96% of your mental processing power. When researchers count neurotransmitters (the molecules of thought), they discover your conscious mind has access to only 4-6% of the information flowing through your system.

Here's the thing most people don't realize: your conscious mind might set the destination, but your unconscious mind is driving the car. This deeper mind contains the code that generates every thought, feeling, and experience you have—your core beliefs about reality, your identity, your automatic behaviors, and those emotional reactions that seem to come out of nowhere.

You can read every self-help book, meditate for decades, and spend years in therapy, but if your unconscious programming isn't aligned with your conscious goals, you'll keep hitting the same walls. It's like trying to drive north while your internal GPS is set for south—you might make some progress, but you'll eventually end up back where you started.

But here's what makes this work so powerful: when you can actually reach and transform these deep patterns, reality shifts permanently. Not just your thoughts about reality—actual reality. Behaviors that felt impossible to change become effortless. Emotional reactions that controlled you for years simply stop happening. This is where real alchemy happens—in the foundational code that creates your entire experience of being alive.

Most people have this backwards. They think their feelings come from their circumstances—bad day at work makes them stressed, relationship conflict makes them upset, bank account determines their sense of security. But here's the twist that changes everything: your inner world doesn't reflect your outer world. Your outer world reflects your inner world.

Your unconscious mind constantly creates your experience of reality through projection and protection. Whatever you haven't fully accepted within yourself gets projected onto your external world. If you've rejected your own anger, you'll see angry people everywhere and be triggered by them. It's like wearing tinted glasses and then wondering why everything looks yellow—you're not seeing what's out there, you're seeing what's in here.

Your self-protection mechanisms, while well-intentioned, often create the very problems they're trying to solve. Every time you resist fully feeling a difficult emotion, a piece of that energy gets stored in your nervous system. When you're hurt, you might shut down emotionally—but that shutdown creates distance in your relationships. When you're afraid of rejection, you might play small—but that diminishes your impact and confidence.

This is why healing your internal landscape has such profound effects on your external results. When you stop projecting your unhealed wounds onto others, your relationships transform. When you release the emotional charge you've been carrying, your nervous system calms and your decision-making improves. The magic happens when you realize you're not a victim of your circumstances—you're the creator of your experience, from the inside out.

This might sound like a bumper sticker philosophy, but stick with me—this is the most practical and powerful truth I've discovered in over a decade of transformation work. Nothing heals like self-love. Every experience you have, every result you create, every relationship you build is fundamentally informed by your relationship with yourself.

Here's how it works: the lower your self-love, the more you operate from survival mode. You make choices based on fear rather than desire. You hold back your authentic expression to avoid rejection. You chase external validation to fill the void where self-acceptance should live. But when you genuinely love and accept yourself—not as a concept, but as a lived reality in your nervous system—everything shifts.

This isn't new-age wishful thinking. I've witnessed this transformation in thousands of clients. They've generated over $32 million in income while we rarely discussed money or business strategy. They've healed decades-old family wounds without me ever speaking to their family members. I've seen chronic pain that doctors couldn't touch disappear permanently when someone finally learned to love the parts of themselves they'd been rejecting.

The beautiful paradox is that self-love isn't selfish—it's the most generous thing you can do. When you're not desperately seeking love from others, you become a source of love for others. Self-love isn't the destination of this work—it's the medicine that makes every other healing possible. Every challenge, every trigger, every difficult experience in your life is ultimately an invitation to love yourself more completely.

 

The further you venture on this path,

the more life sends you blessings of connection, wealth, love, fun, opportunity, and wisdom.  Eventually, magnetizing your dream life to you becomes effortless –

All as a reward for doing the most important work there is – evolving, loving life, and helping others love it, too.

Dan is PHENOMENAL! He is so good at what he does, he can change your whole perspective of a situation within seconds. His understanding of how the mind works cannot be surpassed by anyone I know or have heard of. His techniques and processes cut through any old beliefs or patterns that are keeping you stuck, allowing you to finally achieve your full potential.

As a healer myself, it's very challenging for me to find someone who knows more than me or who is as intuitive as me and so I was beyond elated to find Dan. It is impossible to convey the experience of working with him through words, you can only experience it. And I highly recommend that you do.

I've been to several psychologists, therapists and coaches over the decades. Some have been pretty good, but Dan is absolutely, by far, the best I've ever had.  Not only does he have astonishing wisdom, but he's skilled and artful in the way that he works with me and has brought me not only amazing insights, but also helped me make MAJOR breakthroughs in my behaviors and my internal emotional state.

My personal and business growth has dramatically improved in measurable ways since working with Dan.  On top of all that, he's a wonderful, kind and sensitive person who truly cares about his clients.  I don't do this often, but I'm very happy to give Dan my HIGHEST recommendation.

Meet Dan

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea (mine has mushrooms in it).

I curse, crack jokes just as much as I get deep, am getting covered in tattoos, and do the most powerful medicinal drugs on the planet during my vacations.  I’m a nerd, dork, comedian, party animal, frat bro, and a spiritual seeker.

Here’s a quick look at how I got to this place – CEO and Founder of a multi-6 figure coaching business and creator of The Emotional Alchemy Method.

I learned the skills I’ve used over the last 15 years to help people transform their lives because I needed to save mine.

I suffered from suicidal depression ever since I was born.  It didn’t help that I was born in Jerusalem, Israel, but raised in NJ.  Other kids picked on and bullied me for my weird accent, clothes, and food.  One of my most vivid memories from childhood was telling my mom that all I wanted was to fit in and be liked, and to do that I would never speak Hebrew again. 

I was 3 years old,

and had already learned how to hate and reject myself. 

I shut down my positive emotions (because that’s when you’re most yourself) because it wasn’t safe to be me.  I stifled my empathic abilities, and sent myself on a journey of unmitigated pain and misery.

School broke me.

I was bullied all the way through college, ate lunch by myself for an entire year in high school, and had 2 friends during the best times.  I learned to hate everybody, especially myself.  Which was easy, because I was covered in acne, had braces, and looked emaciated from growing a foot in a month when I was 14.

Doctors told me I’d never be athletic because my joints couldn’t handle it.  And being underweight as a man can be as psychologically damaging as being overweight as a woman.

In college, I regularly drank myself into oblivion to forget everything. I didn’t know that I was also searching for extreme experiences because I couldn’t feel anything positive.

Tons of drugs and alcohol lowered the walls I put up, and allowed me to empathically feel some of the happiness others felt around me.

But I was poisoning myself,

and became increasingly suicidal.

I couldn’t understand how it was so easy for other people to have fun, friends, girlfriends, and enjoy their lives when it felt impossible for me.  After a few nights seriously considering ending it all, though, I decided I would find a way to turn things around for myself.

I HAD to find a way.

That sent me on a journey around the world,

studying personal transformation methods from doctors, scientists, coaches and gurus.  I got a BA in Cognitive Science from Carnegie Mellon University, followed by 3 certifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming, 3 in Vedic Sciences, and one each in Time Line Therapy, Past Life Regression, and Nutrition. 

I spent months meditating in Thailand and living in ashrams in India.  In just those 13 years, I read approximately 700 books about human psychology, neuroscience, behavior, and potential.  I even spent 1.5 years in a Hindu spiritual cult, learning the mysteries of the universe and awakening my kundalini.

What I discovered changed my life. 

It turns out that my brain wasn’t broken, I wasn’t defective, and the world didn’t hate me.  The first level was realizing I could rewire the perceptions that made me feel that way.  And everything began changing.

First, I rewired it to gain weight, and at one point got up to running sub-5 minute miles and deadlifting 400 lbs. Then, I rewired it for my social life, and soon found my tribe and had a happy dating life. At 31 I did what many people still tell me is impossible – I permanently erased my anxiety and depression on my own.  Then I used those same techniques to create a 6-figure business in 6 months, scale it up to multiple 6 figures within 2 years, and become Yelp’s #1 life coach in LA while taking frequent 3-4 day weekends and traveling internationally for months at a time.

I’ve continued to heal since then, and now know my struggles were blessings.

The pain pushed me to do the hard internal work to become who I am today.  Crawling out of darkness helped me lead over 1000 others to their light.  Almost dying again and again taught me how to literally save other people’s lives when doctors had no idea what to do. 

My relentless search for truth has brought me face to face with my deepest, darkest fears and taught me how to help others shatter the illusions that disempower them.

Whereas I used to think life had to be a challenging grind and fight, now I know how sweet life can really be.  It continuously sends me blessings of unreasonable wealth, dream clients, soul-tribe friends, goddess partners, angels-on-earth mentors, life-altering adventures, and laughs all along the way.

And the more I show up to learn the lessons of life and surrender to the grandeur of the Universe, the better my life becomes.

That’s what happens when you alchemize your darkness into your brightest light.

It’s like a cheat-code to the Matrix.  No more hustling to have a life that looks great on paper but feels unfulfilling.  Instead, it becomes easy to find true, sustainable happiness, contentment, joy, love, health, fun, and wealth. I’ve helped 1000+ men and women do it already.  The testimonials show this method WORKS.

And if you’re bold enough to go on this journey with me,

it’ll work for you, too.

Life-changing isn't a word that I throw around casually, but Dan's methods are actually life-changing. I've had the pleasure of taking multiple sessions with him and have seen a huge positive change in all aspects of my life. I've tried other life coaches/mentors so I know that he is f'n brilliant, and more importantly, someone who is genuinely invested in your growth and happiness as a person.

Do yourself a huge favor and call him.

Dan changed my life in so many positive ways! Not only is Dan super easy to relate to, but he also is full of powerful wisdom that he WANTS to share with you.  From the first conversation I had with Dan, I felt inspired to do more, be more, and to dive deeper into my limiting (and completely false) self-beliefs. We are the only thing standing in our way on our path to Greatness. Dan goes above and beyond to help you see that - He is truly a mentor who continues to inspire me long after the program I took with him had ended. Forever thankful that he came into my life!
