After working with David for several months I realized both my body and mind were developing a new awareness.  It would begin even before I came to the session.  The simple act of coming into his beautiful and intention-filled space created a new sense of calm in my body. Every time I sat across from David in our session​, I immediately felt safe and supported.  As the session continued, I would have insights and breakthroughs that would stay with me throughout my week.  All of this was possible because of the “container” that David holds.  His questions and communication supported me to come back to myself for the answers I am seeking.  This valuable support allowed me to take on new challenges and heal very old wounds.  I highly recommend David’s work to anyone who is curious.

My original goals were to make more room for me by doing more! This is ultimately exhausting and unfulfilling…My goal of life balance is achievable through my new lens…My new way of being is transformative…and I’m dedicated to nurture it’s continued growth…I appreciate your compassion and clear communication style. You are welcoming and your integrity and interest immediately put me at ease. Your communication, caring, integrity, perspective and curiousity are great strengths.

The time I spent with David was a real learning experience. Feelings sprang up from nowhere. The counselling helped me realize where some of my deep emotions sprang from. I have a clearer understanding of myself and feel ready to take the next step. I felt very cared for and very safe in expressing myself with David. He was very sensitive to my needs…. It felt good to have someone care about me.

David has helped me sort out some very complex and conflicting emotions during a period of intense stress in my life—in my work; helping me to make decisions; understanding and expressing my feelings; expressing anger…. David is a very skilled, warm, and gentle man. He has helped me tremendously, and coming to know him has enriched my life. I realize that I have a lot of work to do…. Working with David has been such a positive experience…. Thank you for all that you have done for me.

David helped me understand my feelings better during a transition period…(he) is very compassionate. He cared about how I was feeling therefore I felt safe in opening up…

The counselling was valuable for me in assertion, risk-taking, being less paranoid, and dealing with feelings. David was great – great listener…and completely non-judgmental.

…the counselling process allowed me to become aware of what was at issue. It represented a beginning point…. In reflection it allowed me to see where I had progressed from and that I am the key to myself—helping me see and accept my own personal power and knowing that place more consistently. I found David to be very supportive. I was pleased that he continually led me back to myself. I found him to be very present and attentive…

I made a verbal contract with David about how I needed to feel my feelings instead of getting lost in my head. I was impressed with how well this worked for me and I was able to get to some really painful childhood memories that allowed me to heal or begin to heal—up until then I just kept refreshing the same old hurts. The work with David helped me to feel the pain I have inside of me. I must have been ready…. Instead of talking on and on David gently drew me back to become aware of what was happening in my body with my feelings and emotions…. David was an example of how healthy men can be in my life. Thank you David.
