Testimonials

David is a wise being, and a remarkable healer. His knowledge and care helped through one of the most challenging times in my life. I came to him in desperation. Despite years of meditation and plant medicine work, I was trapped in turmoil, in my habit patterns. In the gentlest of ways, David unearthed and released profound suffering I could not then and cannot now name. Somehow, the body remembers pain even if the mind does not. David communicates with that pain compassionately so that it can be expressed and freed. In our eight sessions over four months, I experienced waves of tremendous sensation and emotion, like sober ayahuasca. I would leave like a towel out of the dyer. Now, I walk the Earth lighter.

I recently had my first session with David, and I have to say it was one of the most powerful healing sessions I have experienced in my life! His ability to connect with me energetically and intuitively to find blocks within my system was just incredible. He lovingly guides you on this exploration into your energetic system and holds space for deeply lodged emotions and stuck energy to be released! I could feel strong surges of energy shifting and moving and eventually surfacing in the forms of laughter and tears...It was such a cathartic experience!! I woke up the next day with a stillness in my nervous system I don't recall having in my adult life. My hearing and vision were more clear, and I just felt still! For someone who has struggled with anxiety most of my adult life this was just remarkable!! I cannot recommend this incredibly special work enough!!! (Maureen B., Los Angeles)

David exudes a calm, grounded centeredness that settles my own nervous system before the "work" even begins. (And how amazing that this work is possible--and extremely effective--via videoconference!) He is such an attentive and empathetic listener that I feel uncommonly seen and heard in his presence, in no small part perhaps because of his own first-hand experience with extreme physical and emotional ailments, but also thanks to his incredible energetic gifts and deep attunement to his own intuition. There is nothing more validating and affirming than having David acknowledge the discomfort I'm feeling without my even having to name it, because he can feel it in his own body (from 3,000 miles away, no less!) and know exactly what I need to hear. And yet he also gently challenges me to question my ingrained assumptions and beliefs about myself, encouraging me towards a more liberated self-conception--an existence outside of the pain and anxiety and mental spiraling.

And sure enough, my chronic pain (which began more than 5 years ago) has been significantly reduced since I began seeing David--to the point that almost without even realizing the subtle shift that was happening, I now no longer have to think about performing certain tasks that mere months ago would've flattened me for days afterward. And yet that's not even the best part! The best part is the awareness he's helped me cultivate: that I can be ok in myself regardless of what my body feels like, so that when I do have the occasional twinge, I don't become consumed by the sensation and instead can listen to what my body is telling me with greater patience, equanimity, and receptivity. I am grateful to have found such a supportive and gifted ally, guide, and healer, and I highly, highly recommend David to anyone dealing with chronic pain--but really anything at all!

The first time I went to David for energy work, I arrived stressed out, overwhelmed, and experiencing a sharp pain in my back. He met me with a calming and direct presence that instantly brought about a sense of safety. I was able to reconnect with my energetic body, relaxing enough to realize that the sharp pains were tension coming from a long held emotional pattern. He helped move and transmute the patterning and the pain was gone completely by the end of the session. I went forward into my day with a stronger, clearer, more grounded sense of myself. I can tell that David truly practices what he teaches by the way he moves through the world with a strong sense of care for his own health and energy and the resulting strength of his presence. I highly recommend his energetic gifts to anyone seeking a safe, collaborative, and impactful healing experience. (Indigo F., Los Angeles)

My healing session with David was essential. With his guidance I was able to unlock feelings I had been holding for too long. I felt I was in a safe space during our time together which allowed me to express sentiments that I was holding back in fear of being perceived as weak. In actuality, I left the session more confident and comfortable with vulnerability. (Olivia H., New York City)

I came to David after experiencing some trauma and a nerve injury that my body (and heart, and mind) was definitely processing. David helped me sit with that pain and be with it and ultimately move it, in a way that I felt was held very gently and felt safe to explore. I remember writing a few days after: "I'm feeling great! I felt the fire of my sadness and anger move concentrated in [the injured area] and now the numbness has lifted.  I feel lighter, more accepting of self.  Joy is flowing more easily and I'm able to observe memories that don't serve me, and then let them go." David was a present and gentle source and person to be with - even in online format - who guided this process very well. (Sarah R., Rockland ME)
