Dan Joy

I am a British-Hungarian author, life coach, mediator, cuddle therapist, musician, and Lomi Lomi massage teacher; co-founder of the Slow & Aware initiative and Ceremonial Massage.

With degrees in theology, organisational development supervision and bank management, I have experience both in the corporate sector and in complementary therapy.
I have dedicated my life to helping people slow down, leave their busy minds, and come home to their bodies. I do this through the Here And Now Breathing Practice — a powerful embodiment method I wrote a book about — and through a radically slow form of ceremonial Lomi Lomi massage. Time Out listed it among “the best massages in London,” and its multi-handed version won a category at the 8th World Massage Championship.

Along this journey I have had the honour of massaging people such as Mooji, Jamie Catto, Antarma, Amanda Palmer, Sam Garrett, Lady Rizo, Staci Haines, Dr. Rosalind Watts, and Dr. Chris Timmermann.

My path of self-expression and compassion has guided me through both shadow and light, expanding embodiment into a way of being where the eyes see heaven and the feet are rooted in the earth.
