Daniel currently resides in New Zealand, after growing up in the English countryside. For most of Daniel's career, he has worked as an Electrician. A job that has taken him to many new places around the western world. Being an old soul he always connected and bonded with nature and animals, the heartbeat of life. He has always been sensitive to energy, knowing its true empowerment, but also recognising the damaging effects it can have on people living in a fear-based reality. After acknowledging and recognising the karmic patterning of ancestral DNA, he understands the transfer of energy and how it can bring freedom within the mind while welcoming peace into people's lives. Having an alignment with his guides and receiving messages he teaches a different side of life, the blessings and balancing principles that come with wisdom. Which is only understood when the space is available to look within, an internal acknowledgment of a soul's journey. Having been in deep spiritual isolation his guides have been ready for him to embrace his journey as a healer, now offering a service that helps individuals recognise the energies that consume their reality and their mental space. The logic realm is a small part of our mind, but we allow it to consume 100% of our reality. The wisdom Daniel teaches brings freedom beyond those boundaries, a space that welcomes your unique identity and purpose.

After a decade of dealing with undiagnosed restless leg syndrome (RLS), Lana developed chronic insomnia. For 30 years, she struggled to find the answer to her sleep, trying “literally everything” without relief. When Lana was introduced to the stress-busting process of emotional freedom techniques (EFT, AKA tapping), she started sleeping better. Determined to continue this path, she began researching sleep where she finally found the answer to fixing her insomnia. She is passionate about sharing the secrets to overcoming insomnia and helping people get the same results that have transformed her life. Lana is a co-author of the Amazon Bestseller, "Creating Impact, The Ultimate Guide for Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs," Founder of "Upgrade Your Sleep: A Powerful Method to Overcoming Sleeplessness," registered CBT-i coach, and Conscious EFT Level 1-2 practitioner.
