Hi, I’m Daniel.

I’m a men’s coach, hypnotherapist, and facilitator dedicated to helping men reconnect with their emotional bodies, reclaim their stories, and shift generational patterns. My work is grounded in a decolonial, anti-patriarchal approach to masculinity—one that honors emotions, challenges harmful norms, and fosters genuine self-awareness.

I guide men to explore their inner landscapes with curiosity and courage, using unconscious-based strategies like hypnosis and NLP. This work is rooted in feminist masculinity, where vulnerability is strength, and connection is the foundation for lasting transformation.

I meet men where they are, whether they’re navigating developmental challenges, uncovering ancestral truths, or deepening their cultural identity. Together, we create space for reflection, healing, and growth that aligns with their unique path.

Born and raised in San Jose, California, I live and work on Ohlone territory, honoring the ancestral guardians of this land. My own lineage traces back to the Philippines, where my ancestors cultivated a rich heritage of spiritualism, farming, and revolutionary ideals. Their resilience and wisdom inspire me to walk this path with integrity and care.

My journey has been shaped by over a decade of experience, formal training from the Hypnotherapy Training Institute and NLP Marin, and countless hours spent with clients and communities. Through my work in men’s groups, circles, and individual sessions, I’ve witnessed how reconnecting with emotions can transform not just individuals but families and communities.

I believe that healing is not about fixing what’s “broken.” It’s about remembering what has always been whole—within ourselves, our relationships, and the stories we carry forward.

Whether you’re seeking to shift generational patterns, reclaim your identity, or simply understand yourself more deeply, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can build a foundation for growth that honors where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re headed.

What do you want for yourself, your relationships, and the legacy you leave behind?

Let’s explore it together.

With gratitude,
Daniel
