Channel • Spiritual Counselor • Intuitive Mentor
Remembering the Light Within
Hi, my name is Dante, and I am a healing channel, spiritual counselor, and mentor for those seeking to carve their own interdisciplinary path through spiritual practices and healing modalities.
The core of my work is to support people in deepening their connection with their inner or higher self and learning to be guided by that inner wisdom — to tap into healing, creative, and transcendental flow states that reveal the deeper harmony of life. This heart centered, creative path of awakening also includes a deep and active cultivation self-awareness and wisdom. It’s a path that requires a healthy heart, mind, and body. The intent of my work with clients and my writing is to support others integrating wisdom of many paths together in an inutitive and healing way, and overcome the obstacles that arise on our paths.

Stay connected with the transmissions of Love & Wisdom.

The Compass of the Heart
The core of my philosophy revolves around a formula taught by channeled beings:
“Act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability, without insistence on a particular outcome.”
This one sentence is filled with infinite layers and nuances that can continuously transform and uplift your life. Its essence is to connect with your passion and joy and allow them to serve as healing forces and guiding lights — while simultaneously cultivating spiritual non-attachment, learning to see life as an ongoing journey where all trials and errors are meaningful parts of path of experimentation, creativity, self-expression, and self-discovery.

Dante’s Journey
Early in my path, I faced deep darkness and confusion — experiences that led me to seek spiritually and discover profound inner joy, love, peace, clarity, and creativity. Through that process, I found a sense of connection with the world, its people, and the greater universe.
I was born in Pennsylvania in the USA and raised by parents who struggled with addiction and experienced a series of traumas throughout my childhood. When I discovered spiritual tools, everything in my world changed so suddenly. For the first time, I felt hope, peace, joy, and meaning. I was finally able to express my true feelings and my true self. Yet I felt a deep yearning for spiritual knowledge that I believed could only be found by stepping outside the world I knew.
In 2012, I embarked on a journey with a one-way ticket to Mexico, and I have been traveling and living as a nomad ever since. Early in my journey I met psychic healers and shamans who took me in as an apprentice. The intuitive healing skills I had already been developing as a Reiki Master began to expand exponentially over the following years.
Eventually, I noticed that I was channeling intuitive information for my clients — insights that had a lasting impact on their lives. The more I practiced, the more I sensed that a psychic connection was taking place, allowing me to receive these messages. During meditation and ritual, I connected with my Pleiadian guides, who have been with me ever since.
A Path Bridging Worlds
When I channel, I allow my personality and biases to step aside, making space for an alternate level of my own consciousness — you could say, my higher self — to speak through me.
As someone with an intellectual disposition, I was initially skeptical about the concept of channeling. Yet I would feel chills and reverberations whenever I listened to or read channeled messages. The wisdom stayed with me in profound ways.
Even when I began channeling myself, a part of me doubted. But it was the experiences of friends and clients — hearing words that didn’t seem to pass through my conscious awareness but came through my voice — that gave me confidence in what I was offering. Time and again, I witnessed how these words changed people’s lives.
Opening to Channel
The wisdom and tools I share with clients are interdisciplinary, bridging many modalities.
My path began with yoga, which taught me how to use the body as an instrument for healing and clarity. Meditation provided a foundation of non-reactivity and presence. Reiki opened me to subtle energies and psychic perception.
I refined these abilities through work with teachers, particularly during my years in Guatemala, studying belief-system work, inner-child work, kinesiology, emotional freedom technique (EFT), and more. With a relentless desire to learn, I also participated in shamanic healing rituals that helped me explore the depths of my psyche and strengthen my intuitive gifts. Additionally, I trained in sound healing and completed several astrology programs.
Since beginning this path in 2012, I’ve traveled to over thirty countries, offering personal sessions, group cacao ceremonies, and channeling transmissions. I’ve worked with yoga and meditation retreat centers and recently hosted my own retreat. I’ve taught others to channel almost every year in a new cohort of my Channeling & Intuitive Healing course since 2020. Lately, I’ve been focusing on writing and transcribing my existing body of channeled work — which I’ve shared for nearly a decade on YouTube.
Many Paths, One Source
As a healing practitioner and channel, my main role is to help you connect with your own inner knowing. I work to mirror the deeper truths that your soul already holds, yet your mind may struggle to accept, embrace, and integrate.
I believe the heart is the source of all spirituality, healing, and wisdom — and that the spiritual path is a relational journey. It invites you to strengthen your connection with the people and communities in your life, with the natural world, and with the greater universe of consciousness — which can include intuition, visions, or spiritual beings who can become allies on your path.
I guide you to trust your heart and to pivot from friction to flow, resistance to revelation, and procrastination to presence — by living the formula deeply:
Act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability, without insistence on a particular outcome.
I work with people in personal counseling sessions, discussing matters in a human way and applying different healing modalities to support growth. I also facilitate conversations with my Pleiadian guides, who offer their intuitive perspective and are especially supportive to those seeking to explore or understand altered states — through meditation, channeling, energy healing, hypnosis, or shamanism.
Unlearning & Re-patterning
In our world, we are often conditioned to follow predefined paths that cause us to sacrifice our creative, spiritual, and relational yearnings. We learn to abandon passion for the sake of conformity — as if survival depends on it.
My work helps people unlearn that conditioning and rediscover their own path with confidence. Through my experience with many healing modalities, I tailor each session to what is most needed. Sometimes we journey deep into the personal past to release emotional energy that has not yet been fully witnessed or transmuted.
As we do, we uncover the beliefs and behaviors born from those experiences that continue to hold you back. Alongside that inner work, I provide practical tools from yoga, meditation, Reiki, astrology, and shamanic traditions — so that transformation becomes embodied in daily life.
“All beliefs are self-imposed limitations. When you change the belief, you change the limitation, and therefore you change the reality.”
— Bashar
The Light at the End of the Tunnel
On my own spiritual path, I have faced many dark nights of the soul — moments of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. Again and again, I’ve used the wisdom I’ve received to pivot toward clarity, healing, and renewal.
I’ve walked through addiction, obsession, imposter syndrome, and self-destructive patterns. I know what it’s like to lose direction — and I know what it’s like to reach the other side.
When my journey began, I had no idea where it would lead. I could not have imagined the life I now live — one of freedom, purpose, and creative expression. My hope is to help as many people as possible find that same freedom within themselves.
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. … Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.” — Terence McKenna
