Discover the Story Behind Mind Matters Transformation

Since 2017, Dan Pickel has dedicated his professional life to helping people break free from emotional pain and self-limiting patterns. Beginning as a Certified Hypnotist, Dan initially focused on helping clients change unsuccessful behaviors through the power of the subconscious mind. As his work evolved, he deepened his training beyond traditional hypnosis to include advanced techniques such as FasterEFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

Through these methods, Dan has helped hundreds of clients overcome challenges such as trauma, PTSD, limiting beliefs, and addiction, guiding them to identify and release the root causes of their emotional distress. His approach emphasizes that true transformation happens when the emotional charge connected to painful memories is resolved — allowing the mind and body to naturally rewire for peace, clarity, and success.


The Emergence of Intuitive Awareness

Dan has always been a psychic medium, but was unaware that his talent could be focused and directed. He believed bursts of intuition and connection to Spirit just appeared randomly. But during his one-on-one transformation sessions, Dan began noticing something extraordinary — his intuition would heighten in powerful, undeniable ways. He often received clear impressions of his clients’ past experiences, emotional blocks, or underlying motivations that were not verbally shared. On some occasions, he also began to receive messages from loved ones in Spirit, bringing unexpected comfort, healing, and insight to the person sitting before him.

These profound experiences inspired Dan to explore his gifts as a Psychic Medium, leading him to formally offer Psychic Mediumship Readings in addition to his transformational work.

A Psychic Mediumship Reading is far more than a spiritual conversation — it’s an experience of healing, clarity, and reconnection. Through these readings, Dan serves as a compassionate bridge between worlds, offering evidence-based messages from those who have crossed over. Clients often describe these sessions as deeply transformative, bringing:

  • Healing and Closure: Hearing from loved ones in Spirit can help release lingering grief, guilt, or unanswered questions. Knowing that those who have passed are at peace can bring a profound sense of relief and acceptance.
  • Validation and Comfort: Mediumship readings often provide specific, verifiable details that reassure clients their loved ones are truly present. These messages remind us that love never dies, and that we are never truly alone.
  • Guidance and Life Direction: Spirit often shares insight to help clients navigate current life challenges, relationships, and emotional crossroads. These messages can illuminate new paths forward, restore faith, and bring renewed purpose.
  • Emotional and Spiritual Growth: Many clients experience a powerful emotional release and a heightened awareness of their own intuitive connection. This shift can inspire lasting inner peace and personal growth long after the reading ends.

Dan’s clients often leave these sessions with a sense of peace, empowerment, and renewed hope — recognizing that connection to Spirit continues beyond physical life.


At the heart of all Dan’s work — whether through hypnosis, FasterEFT, NLP, or psychic mediumship — lies the understanding that most challenges stem from unresolved emotions. When these emotions are safely addressed and released, the brain naturally rewires itself for new, healthier patterns.

So, imagine this: what if the problems you’ve been carrying for years could be resolved in less than 30 days? What if you could finally experience peace, clarity, and a renewed connection with yourself — and with those you love, both here and beyond?

Not in Palm Springs or the Coachella Valley? That's okay! Dan's process works just as effectively over Zoom as it does in person. Give us a call at 208-440-1551 for a FREE CONSULTATION.

    I had a lifetime anxiety/phobia that changing circumstances required me to finally address. In a single, online session with Dan, I was able to successfully overcome the anxiety/phobia. I still can't believe the change and only wish I'd come across Dan years ago.

    I lived 52 years scared to eat most food, had so many fears which caused a huge loss in a happy life. After one session I started trying food and after a couple not scared. Dan pulled so much pain and chaos out of me in hours I can't be more thankful. I have referred so many of my family which are also seeing results. Thank you Dan for making me feel normal, happy and healthy.

    Thank you so much Dan for connecting with my grandmother! Dan was very accurate with the information he provided. Without me telling him much, he was able to bring up things my family and I only would have known. Also very informative on what he does! Thank you for making my day brighter by connecting me with my granny.

    Dan provided a lot of information that was woven in with evidence. My loved one's sisterhood, companionship, shared lineage of family healing aspects, and my favorite was the protective sense my loved one conveyed. All of it is validating, reassuring, supportive, and loving. Thank you for conducting a mediumship session for me, as well as providing messages for my mom, that will be so well received.

    Dan is incredible! If you haven’t had the opportunity to work with him, do yourself a favor and book something with him immediately! Every time I leave a session, I have incredible breakthroughs, feel uplifted, feel inspired, and feel full of gratitude that someone like him with his gifts and talents exists. I cannot say enough good about this man and what he does.

    I’ve worked with Dan three times now and his method has proven to be extremely effective . He’s very insightful and skilled at honing in on the issues you’re dealing with and helping you to reframe old memories that drive you without you even knowing it. Ive done traditional therapy and Dan’s work has been much more efficient and effective and has truly improved my life and my relationship. I couldn’t recommend him more!

    I had no idea that my trauma memories could be reprogrammed! I had no idea how heavy the burden of my past trauma weighed on my soul. I feel like a veil has been lifted from my eyes and I now have permission to express myself freely! After a lifetime of fearing "consequence" for speaking up for myself, I now know that I am safe to express my needs and wants. I AM FREE TO FORGIVE! I forgive myself for holding on to the pain. I forgive my father for not having better tools to be a good human. I have reprogrammed the horrifying memories into what they should have been, what the best possible outcome would have looked like. I'm deeply and forever grateful to Dan for helping me set my soul free from this bondage and shine my light even brighter!!!!!

    After almost a year of parosmia I decided to try this alternative to what we know is normal and I will tell you if I knew then what I know now!!! One session and I can cook and eat anything I want. The rotted smell of garbage and taste of disgust is almost completely gone. Thank you Mind Matters

    I have had an office visit and an online group meeting with Dan. He is just incredibly amazing! I looked at myself after this past session and I look 10 years younger! I shifted so many emotions out of my stored self and bodies (mental, emotional, physical, probably spiritual too). He did so much in 80 minutes!! I feel blessed and grateful for what he does and how he helped me. Everyone can benefit from tapping and rewriting their trauma/memories. Thank you Dan!!

    I tried hypnosis locally with another practitioner (several sessions) a few years ago and had some positive results so decided to try it again. I had heard about Dan and decided I would try seeing him--I was very curious to see how Dan's approach might be similar or different from my first experience. I had an AMAZING experience with Dan for our first session! He was very thoughtful and present and took a lot of time to ask me a ton of questions to truly understand me and my needs. His questions were insightful and provided a lot of clarity for our experience. I saw immediate positive results and have felt so supported during some behavior changes. My second visit with Dan was equally in-depth and effective. I expected him to kind of jump right back in since we'd had our first session already, but he still took a lot of time to understand my experience after our first session and to fine-tune the next session. He also picked up on an issue related to a childhood memory that has been kind of an interrupting memory for me--I (used to) find myself replaying it over and over in my mind and that memory created a lot of negative emotions for me. Well, Dan paused when I mentioned that and led me through an exercise that completely re-categorized that memory in my brain. I can't explain it. I still have knowledge of that memory, but it's no longer something that I replay. This was an exercise we did very quickly and simply before the traditional hypnosis. The results were amazing. Today I had my third visit and AGAIN he was so thoughtful, asked so many questions and again I had a great session. I'm excited to see the results that I know will play out in the coming days and weeks. Dan also records the hypnosis session so I can listen to it nightly afterwards. Each session has been different and has helped me with different results. My experience has been heads and shoulders above my last experience. Dan is AWESOME!! If you are considering hypnosis, I highly recommend Dan--this is such a simple investment with huge returns!

    I went in last week to get hypnotized by Dan and I have already lost 7 pounds. Dan is fantastic at what he does and is such a professional at it. I am super excited to see the new me.Thank you so much Dan, the process was so simple and enjoyable and so much easier than any other way I had tried in the past to lose weight. I thought hypnosis was something totally different and was actually scared to go in, but Dan made me relaxed and happy.If you or anyone you know is looking to lose weight the easy way I suggest you go to Mind matters and see Dan!!!

    I lost my mother and father within a year, and it has been very hard on me. Their lack of support and love had me feeling very lost. I felt like I couldn't get anything right with my kids, and somehow I was messing up life in general. I called Dan for a reading and he was amazing. He told me things no one but family would know. He passed on messages from my folks. and I walked away feeling like a new woman. I highly recomment him. He's beyond talented!
