Portrait of Dan Fox

About Dan

I believe in leading with the heart, guided by warrior-like precision. My journey has been a deep dive into spirituality, physical discipline, and artistic expression. I've learned that true strength comes from vulnerability, and that creativity is a powerful force for healing. I'm passionate about helping men and women step into their full, authentic selves.

Heart, mind & body

A lifelong student of transformation

My academic foundation is in World Religions and Philosophy, where I graduated with honours. In 2011 my own healing journey began, lifting me out of a long season of depression and opening my eyes to Indigenous wisdom, energy work and mysticism.

For over 10 years I've trained extensively in Mixed Martial Arts. It taught me discipline, resilience and a grounded confidence that carries into every part of life. Today I share that with people of every gender, age and fitness level.

Actor, teacher, storyteller

With over 20 years as a professional actor, I've appeared in network TV shows like Suits and Painkiller, voiced national commercials, and starred in the Emmy Award-winning series Guidestones. In 2009 I co-founded an acting studio and lead ACTRA conference workshops.

I'm also a land steward at Merkaba Acres, where I focus on sustainable living, permaculture and community, and I invite people to join our thriving community.

I am deeply grateful to all my teachers, past, present, and future. Today I offer a unique perspective grounded in heart-centric principles, merging the resilience of a warrior with the creativity of an artist.
