Coaching Session (60 min)
David holds sacred spaces in which people get to the crux of their issue and make real change in real time. He is a master of using what is present to help you cross the threshold before you.
He will exquisitely notice your stories as they are being told and discern the openings for change. He will work with your narrative material through serious play to discover the new story ready to be brought to life. He will then invite you to step into it.
David brings his mastery of Narrative Coaching, and decades of experience in his Three Chairs Process, Shadow work, grief counseling, somatic sensing, serious play, and more. It all is available for you.

I needed something different during each session and David was able to pivot and support me through each one. I am grateful for the compassion and patience he brought to the space and how much progress I was able to make in a short period of time.

Some of the issues we face take more than one conversation to get to the core of what is being asked of you.
Drawing on his background in rites of passage, David will guide you across the threshold in front of you. This includes releasing any old narratives and standing in the new narratives you discover on the other side.
He will help you: (1) prepare for the work to be done; (2) step into what is calling you; and (3) embody and enact what is true for you now.

What those who have worked with David say . . .
Maureen Owen
"David’s work addresses the depth of our humanity. It goes beyond simply working toward a goal. It endeavors to get to the core of who we are as human beings and what it means to have a human life."
Rachel Lawlan
"I had no idea how immersive and transformative this experience would be. It was an experiential, immersive, and relational experience. I found it really quite magical."
Martin Wale
"Perhaps the biggest difference has been in myself, in coaching and more broadly. I can just be, or just notice things - my whole approach has shifted."
