You don’t have to walk this path alone…

Hi, I’m Daniel.

I’m the founder of Wild Soul. I’m a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, trauma healer, and underworld guide.

After many years of walking my own healing path—I am now here to support you in walking yours.

Through an integration of somatic tools, parts work, and more—I’m dedicated to your liberation

When you step into his presence, you feel a hard won cultivation of soul that calls to soul, creating the ability to unwind and relax into witness.
— Eve Star

True healing doesn’t come through fancy therapeutic techniques
but through loving presence, compassionate witness, and the courage to be with what is.

When you work with me, you won’t be working in sterile isolation. Nor will you be asked to fight your thoughts.
My approach is an approach of radical surrender to the vulnerable truth of what is.

What if there was nothing wrong with what you’re feeling or experiencing?
What if there was wisdom beneath your pain?

In a world where we’ve been taught to struggle and control—surrender might be the key to liberation.

Through somatic practices, imaginal guidance, IFS-style parts work, and more
you will become more intimate with your lived experience to discover the hidden wisdom within.

I will guide you in your journey not as a distant expert, but from the tenderness of one who has walked the path.
I trust that your wisdom lies waiting within you.
I will support you in discovering this yourself.

Your pain doesn’t scare me. Neither does your grief.
I am ready to meet you there.

The approach:

This is not talk therapy, nor is this traditional coaching.
This is somatic work—the essential, tender process of arriving in the body as home.

In this healing process, we will always attend to the body.
We will pause frequently to check in with what you’re feeling.
We will drop the story when necessary to be with the energy beneath the words.

You will get used to a couple questions:
“What are you feeling in your body right now?”
“Are you willing to just sit with that feeling for a while?”

This work can be done through physical touch or through words.
It can be done in-person or over zoom.

And we will always move at the speed of feeling and trust.

What you’ll get:

This approach can offer many powerful benefits, including but not limited to:

  • Resolving trauma patterns from the past

  • Healing chronic pain or syndromal illness

  • Processing or moving through grief

  • Cultivating the capacity for healthy anger

  • Restoring self-trust in one’s inner intelligence

  • Gaining a sense of empowerment and freedom in life

  • Learning practical tools and techniques to support your healing and self-regulation every day

And the same tools that can help you heal can also help you connect with the deeper purpose that your life is for.
