Daniel Vose

I’m deeply honored to share a part of my journey and the essence of my work with you.

From the young age of 6, my path toward becoming a guide for others began under the mentorship of a shaman who opened my eyes to the profound interconnectedness of life. This early experience laid the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and wisdom in healing practices. At 14, amidst overcoming a severe drug addiction, I was privileged to be taken under the wing of a revered First Nation medicine man, marking the beginning of an extraordinary apprenticeship in traditional healing arts. It was during this pivotal time that I discovered the joy of service, sponsoring other teens through their recovery in the 12-step program.

By 17, my passion for understanding the body’s innate intelligence led me to the professional training in Somatic Experiencing, a post-graduate program I entered through special circumstances due to my dedication and early promise in the field. This journey deepened my awe for the body’s wisdom, resonating with the lessons from my indigenous mentors and steering me toward a master’s degree in Somatic Psychology.

My academic pursuits were enriched by active involvement in the Native American Church, meditation traditions, and the given the rights to conduct sweat lodges ceremonies, granted by respected first nation leaders. Immersing myself in meditation for hours each day during graduate school, deeply informed the way I hold space for others. I was also fortunate to engage directly with luminaries in the field, such as Diane Heller, whose insights profoundly influenced my approach.

Transitioning to the professional world, I brought my integrated expertise to the renowned Sierra Tucson Treatment Center. There, my methods delivered remarkable results, earning me the freedom to innovate and lead within the therapeutic community. My commitment to sharing this knowledge led me to become a lead facilitator/assistant trainer in Somatic Experiencing and a teacher in DARe (Diane Heller’s Approach), helping to train hundreds of therapists and impacting thousands of individual clients.

Of all my professional achievements, working with First Nation communities remains the most cherished. It’s a testament to the power of weaving traditional wisdom with contemporary healing modalities, honoring the deep roots of our collective human experience.

As an author and educator, I’ve translated these rich experiences into accessible online programs and a book, aiming to support those on their healing journey towards rediscovery and resilience. With a growing community on Instagram @vosesomatic and an expanding email list, my mission is to reach and heal as many souls as possible.

The methods I employ, include Somatic Experiencing, DARe, Revisioning, Laban Movement Analysis, Kestenberg Movement Profile, Body Mind Centering, Traditional Chinese 5 Element Theory, Energy medicine handed down from indigenous medicine lineage, Revisioning, Hakomi, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and more. I have also developed my own unique approach that I call Regenerative Coaching.   

I have also spent time consulting  for treatment centers and in a leadership roles at sierra tucson leading continuing education/supervision groups for specialty therapists. I hold myself to a beginner mindset to  ensure my practice remains dynamic and responsive to the evolving field of somatics.

I would be honored to connect with you and aid you on your healing journey. I believe there is a light in all of us, and healing is about returning to that light and letting it grow. It is my privilege to support you in returning to your innate vibrancy and embracing the fullness of life.
