Meet Flowcraft

creator, Dan

For most of my life, I lived with anxiety, depression, and the echoes of childhood trauma. My mind was always moving, fast and restless, searching for peace that I could never seem to hang on to.

That search became my life’s work. I spent more than 25 years studying psychology, neuroscience, and the contemplative roots of Yoga and Buddhist traditions of meditation, learning how the mind works and how it can heal. Along the way, I trained as a meditation coach and was initiated as a Kriya Yogi.

Through that journey, I discovered that stillness isn’t found by escaping life, but by meeting it fully. From that realization, Flowcraft was born, a way to return to stillness in the middle of everyday life.

My journey to Flowcraft

Flowcraft is the result of decades spent learning how to live with anxiety, depression, and the long shadow of trauma. That learning started early...

I was eleven when my childhood changed overnight. A workplace accident nearly killed my father and left him permanently disabled, sending shockwaves through our home that shattered any sense of stability. As parental roles broke down and the future grew uncertain, fear gradually replaced the safety we had once taken for granted. The constant pressure of survival wore us down, and in time, the bonds that held our family together began to unravel.

At school, the grief didn’t end. It followed us. Over just a few years, something strange and heavy settled over our grade. Several classmates lost parents to accidents and sudden illnesses, one after another, as if a dark cloud had chosen to hover over us. Then a boy just a year younger than me died by suicide. It felt surreal, like too much for kids our age to carry. But no one talked about it. There were no words for what we were going through. We just coped the only way we knew how, quietly and alone.

In the years that followed, I learned to survive by achieving. I became the one who held everything together, pouring myself into performance — academically, athletically, and professionally. My career in technology took off quickly. I climbed the ladder at Canada’s largest retailer, helping launch one of the country’s first online grocery businesses. From there, I went on to lead global technology teams and eventually founded a series of successful companies.

But beneath the surface, I was having panic attacks. They came regularly — racing heart, tight chest, the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. I buried it well, but the pressure always found its way out through illness, bad habits, and bad relationships that mirrored the pain I was trying to escape.

By the time the pressure finally overwhelmed me, the world was already unravelling. The COVID pandemic had hit, my business was starting to fail, and my sister was dying. Everyone in my family was struggling in their own way, each of us trying to hold things together as everything around us collapsed. The anxiety and depression I had managed for most of my life began to spiral out of control. I was exhausted in every way—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and frustration had hardened into a quiet anger toward everything around me. My body stayed tense, my mind ran in circles, and beneath it all, the darkness I had spent years outrunning began to return. That was the moment I knew something in me had broken, and that if I didn’t change, I might not make it back.

That breaking point marked the turning point in my story. I had already spent years studying psychology, neuroscience, CBT, attachment theory, philosophy, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. But during the pandemic, everything intensified. I treated healing like a full-time job, spending hours each day in meditation and self-inquiry. I was determined to end my lifelong battle with anxiety and depression.

I trained as a meditation coach, was initiated as a Kriya Yogi, and committed fully to the daily discipline of inner stillness. With time, the anxiety stopped, the depression lifted, and I was able to rebuild myself from the inside out.

In this newfound stillness, I began to understand that our pain is not a mistake or an accident, but a teacher that reveals what we have been unwilling to face. When we turn inward and meet it directly, pain often shows us what matters most and points us toward the deeper work we are here to do.

The experience had a profound effect. On the outside, nothing much had changed, but inwardly, I was not the same. I was calmer, more present, and no longer ruled by the anxiety that had shaped so much of my life. I had found a deep well of resilience hidden beneath years of tension, overthinking, and self-doubt.

Once you experience something like that, you are compelled to share it.

So I decided to tell my story and build something that could help the millions of people who are silently carrying what I once carried. The people still living with quiet pain, unsure if healing is possible or if peace is something they will ever feel.

Flowcraft is the culmination of everything I’ve learned. It’s a practical system designed to help you identify the roots of anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm so you can begin to loosen their hold.

The program combines eastern wisdom with the latest research from psychology and neuroscience. It offers a clear, practical way to reshape the behavioural patterns that keep you anxious. Allowing you to slow down and meet each moment of your life with presence and resilience.

With time, those moments add up, helping you feel less anxious, more grounded in your choices, more connected to what matters, and more at ease in your own life.

That’s the quiet power of Flowcraft.
