Daniel didn't arrive at movement through dance or sport — he arrived through stillness. After years of chronic pain following a spinal injury in his mid-twenties, he began working with somatic movement as a form of self-rehabilitation. What he found in that process changed the direction of his life entirely. He trained in Ghana, then London, then spent three years living and studying in India, where he deepened his understanding of how breath, rhythm, and embodied awareness could access what conventional therapy often couldn't reach.

His sessions sit at the intersection of West African movement traditions, functional anatomy, and nervous system regulation. He doesn't teach choreography — he teaches attunement. Participants frequently describe Daniel's work as deceptively simple: the movements are accessible, the shifts are not.

At Sanctum, Daniel leads the Earth & Body Reset in the Alentejo region of Portugal — a retreat built around the daily rhythm of movement, soil, food, and rest. He also offers group breathwork sessions and one-to-one somatic movement consultations for participants navigating physical pain or chronic fatigue.
