About Dan DeSena | Embodied Masculinity & Personal Growth for Men

"Then... what is missing?"

What I’ve found is that many men feel stuck—struggling with relationships, sexuality, and purpose—because they lack guidance and initiation into a new way of living.

It’s not enough to read a book or follow a set of tips. Men need to be shown how to live as the powerful, responsible, adult men they are meant to be.

This way of life is called:

The Path of Self-Mastery.

My Healing Journey

I have spent the last 15 years of my life sharpening myself as a human being. Learning to go deep, do my work, and be honest with myself has been the biggest challenge, and greatest accomplishment of my life.

Through this path I have grown to love myself and love others like never before. Success has become a given, far outweighed by the overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude to be in this life, in this body, with this group of people at this most important time in human history.

I know what it is like to suffer. To feel shame, embarrassment, and low self-esteem. To underperform in my craft. To feel awkward and afraid around strangers. To feel hopeless about life. To feel insecure about my sexuality and potency as a man. To struggle with chronic health conditions and poor sleep. AND, I know what it means to OVERCOME SUFFERING.

Through my own deep inner work, and my 17 years of training as a psychotherapist and healer, I've come to understand what true healing is. I've studied and integrated a plethora of healing modalities, including hypnosis, psychoanalysis, breathwork, somatic therapy, EMDR, psychedelic integration, behavioral therapy, mindfulness, the Taoist arts, and men's work. I currently am a student of Sacred Sexuality and study polarity and its use to bring couples into deeper intimacy.

I've been sure to make each step of my education in the healing arts a deep dive into my own psyche and body. My life, my healing journey, and my career are all one incredible exploration of this beautiful existence. I'm so grateful to be here, and to get to share my life with each person I have the fortune to encounter. I hope you and I will have a chance to do so.

My Philosophy of Self-Mastery

The best way to get what we want FROM the world...

...is to cultivate our offering TO the world.

And to do this, we need to get ourselves right.

It means figuring out who we are.

It means working through our issues (and sorry, brother, we all have 'em).

It means knowing what we want in relationships... and also what we have to offer our partners.

In short, Self-Mastery means getting ourselves in order so we can offer the most we can to the world.

Self-Mastery takes courage, commitment, and discipline - or at least the intent to become more disciplined.

Self-Mastery is a skillset in its own right. It's a path, and a lifestyle. There is no arrival at mastery. There is only choosing to walk the path. Results happen naturally as you follow your own unique self-mastery journey.

Self-Mastery requires a commitment to honesty, with yourself and others. It also requires taking full responsibility for your own life and how you respond to the challenges the world throws at you.

There are no victims on the path of Self-Mastery.

You take YOUR LIFE by the horns, and choose to start creating something worthwhile to yourself, and to others. Self-Mastery is a loving commitment to yourself.

When you do this, you are going to create amazing relationships and have a fulfilling, purpose-driven professional life.

True success comes from mastering yourself—not chasing external validation.

But make no mistake: this path isn’t easy.

What It Takes

To walk the Path of Self-Mastery, you’ll need to:

Dive deep into your emotions and become fully embodied.

Break free from habits and patterns that drain your energy.

Let go of limiting beliefs about success and happiness.

Who I Work With

I only work with men who are serious about transformation. If you’re looking for a quick fix or a shortcut to success, I’m not your man.

But if you’re ready to:

Take responsibility for your life.
Embrace the challenges of self-mastery.
Align with your highest potential.

Then I invite you to join me on this path.

Initiating on the Path of Self-Mastery is the most important choice you will ever make as a man.

A Life-Changing Approach to Sexual Mastery

"Working with Dan transformed my relationship with sexual energy and pleasure. He taught me how to move that energy through my body, which became a game-changer in my intimate experiences.

With his guidance, I transitioned into a retention lifestyle and learned to engage in non-ejaculatory sex, deepening my connection with my wife and expanding our exploration.

Beyond intimacy, I’ve gained more energy and freed myself from old conditioning. Dan’s wisdom, compassion, and personal investment in my journey made all the difference. I’m truly grateful!"

Reclaiming Confidence & Connection

"Like many men, I spent years stuck in my head, feeling like something was wrong with me. Dan’s calm presence, deep care, and insightful teachings helped me truly connect with how sexual pleasure is processed in my body.

The most powerful realization?

There was never anything wrong with me—or with any of us. We simply lacked the right role models. This course gave me the tools to feel more at home in my body and show up fully in my relationships. The impact has been profound."
