Overcome the patterns that are holding you back by healing at the root level, your nervous system
SAFE IN YOUR BODY
SAFE WITH OTHERS
SAFE IN THE WORLD
At your core, you know you can heal.
But you’ve tried nearly every personal growth program, modality, and healer under the sun, and are likely left wondering: is there something wrong with me?
I can confidently say, there is nothing wrong with you.
The nervous system drives our entire well-being, and until we look at and address what is happening there, it’s hard for deep healing to take place and most importantly stick.
If you’ve been on a lifelong journey to find the missing link that can create the changes you’ve been seeking, you are in the right place.
Hi, I’m David.
NOTHING moved the needle like working on my nervous system.
I tried affirmations, EFT, cold showers, and 3-hour morning routines. I did Holotropic Breathwork, men’s work, plant medicine, Tantra, yoga, and wore out dozens of meditation cushions along the way.
I read all the books, hired all the coaches, bought the online courses, and joined the elite masterminds.
Even after decades of work, underneath a calm exterior, my internal “resting” state was still one of almost constant fear.
After a painful breakup, I hired a mentor who focused on specific relational and somatic (body-based) practices that soothe the nervous system and allow trauma to resolve naturally.
I didn’t realize it until months into this work, but this straightforward, gentle method of trauma healing was what I’d been searching for my entire life.
So much so that I changed careers and am now a certified Interpersonal Embodied Healing™ practitioner.
Even if you have tried “everything,” I hope you’ll try one more thing. Get to know your nervous system.
“During our first session, we identified and began to soothe a part of me that had been stuck in terror and was trying to get my attention for weeks.”
“I have worked with a lot of practitioners over the years. David has an uncanny ability to feel into the parts of me that are calling out for help.”

“I feel more free than ever to be myself and trust that who I am is enough.”
“I’ve spent most my life in crippling fear of rocking the boat, both personally and professionally. Through consistent 1:1 work over the past two years, I am now able to stand up for myself, set healthy boundaries, and stay present in the midst of some really difficult conversations. David has been such a healing presence throughout my journey. His empathy, wisdom, thoroughness and integrity are rare. I would recommend him whole heartedly to anyone wanting to embark on the journey of healing through this gentle, yet deeply transformational work.”

“If we do not work on all three levels—body, feeling, mind—the symptoms of our distress will keep returning, as the body goes on repeating the story stored in its cells until it is finally listened to and understood.”
—Alice Miller, Swiss PsychologistWhich symptoms of distress are calling out to be listened to?
Patterns:
self-sabotage
self-doubt
procrastination
inner critic
overthinking
Negative Core Beliefs:
the world is unsafe
people are unsafe
I’m not enough
Relationships:
lack of confidence
social anxiety or awkwardness
continually choosing unhealthy partners
fear of abandonment
saying ‘yes’ when I want to say ‘no’
struggles identifying or setting boundaries
But by turning towards the body and listening with compassionate curiosity, we’ll discover the unmet need that is the source of the distress. When the need is met, anxiety and overwhelm are replaced by quiet contentment.
With time and repetition, the patterns and beliefs themselves unravel. This is how you work. This is the work we’ll do together.
Work/Career:
imposter syndrome
perfectionism
lack of purpose
burnout
fear of success
Self-help does help. It manages symptoms.
What does the journey look like?
The foundation of this work is safety. We’ll move at the pace of your nervous system.
Here are your next steps…
1. Connect
Schedule a free discovery call. We'll meet on Zoom for 30-40 minutes. You’ll share a little about you and where you are struggling. I’ll share a little about me, how we can work together, and answer any questions you have.
Then you get to decide. There is never any pressure. If you are ready to get started, there are two simple forms you’ll sign before we schedule our first session.
2. Practice, practice, practice
You’ll learn how your body, mind, and nervous system actually work and what they need for deep and sustainable healing.
I’ll model relational and somatic skills that create a deep felt-sense of safety. We’ll practice them every session. You’ll have these tools for life.
3. Exhale
You’ll begin to see changes. You’ll tell me how you handled a familiar challenge differently this time. You’ll advocate for yourself. You’ll be more at ease in your own skin. Others may comment on your calm confidence. You’ll exhale more deeply.
With more practice, the changes may start to snowball. This was my experience. Longstanding pattens dissolve. So do some of your negative core beliefs.
One day, you’ll show up for a session and share how you faced a formidable life challenge. One that would have sidelined you in the past. This time, you knew exactly what to do, exactly how to tend to yourself, and you did it all on your own. This is often where clients “graduate” themselves.
Life doesn’t suddenly become perfect all the time. You don’t become an unaffected robot. But your foundation is now one of safety. You can confidently navigate what life’s ups and downs. YOU’VE got you. You are the safest relationship you’ve ever had.

How long will it take for me to see results?
Without knowing you and your unique story it is impossible to predict how long it will take for you to see results. This work is about creating a deep and lasting felt-sense of security. So that when life challenges inevitably come up, you have the skills, tools, and practice under your belt to confidently know how to navigate them. The somatic practices that we do in session will eventually become your natural way of being.
