What was their personal journey? Are they the real deal? What have they experienced in life that qualifies them to lead our way to our happiest, healthiest life?

At 3 years old, David’s mother said eight words to him that changed everything. Unfortunately, it was not for the better! Those eight words triggered a chain reaction of disempowering personal beliefs that led over the course of 40 years to a complete disownment of who he really was, coupled with growing resentment and anger that gradually became unmanageable.

Yearning for release from this negative downward spiral, David found support in Northern California starting in 1995, and over the following 10 years did a great deal of healing to unravel his limiting self-beliefs.

This transition has created in David a deep passion for helping others to know, appreciate, express, and experience all of who they really are.

Listen to his story and learn an empowering practice to help you live a better life.
