We must bloom where we are planted.
I help people through ancient wisdom and the effectiveness of personal coaching. I see mindfulness and meditation as medicines one can apply to any situation in life to feel happier and more resilient, and that naturally makes you more likely to achieve a beautiful life. I have been studying and practicing in one of the great wisdom and meditation traditions for over 30 years.
Over those years, I have distilled a fusion of my exploration of what it means to create a highly effective, intuitive, and flexible coaching framework that I have practiced with over 500 clients from all types of backgrounds.
As a guide, I understand that everyone's path is unique and that each of us has different obstacles and challenges to overcome. Therefore, I am here to see through the beliefs and habits that keep you struggling; and to inspire you to discover your own path forward.

I was professionally trained by the Co-Active Training Institute in California, the global leader in transformative Life & Business Coaching. I'm an accredited Global Values Professional. I have worked with people from around the world, including the United States, Europe, Asia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
I am a founder of the Wisdom Path Program and a guide and strategic advisor for Nectara, a support ecosystem for people empowering themselves with plant medicines.
I am a brand ambassador and mentor for Huddol. Huddol has been successfully developing digital wellness solutions since 2004.
I am on the board of People Before Patients, a movement to re-imagine health care in Canada.
I view psychedelics as a tool and as part of a holistic strategy for transformation. I have explored psychedelics in this way for 25 years.
Perhaps the most important accreditation was from my mom, who said I was coaching the moment I came into this world.

My experience with this coaching process was something that I had never experienced before. The depth of the conversations we had, the answers to my deepest questions, the realizations I saw after your suggestions of alternative perspectives was something that I’ll remember forever. I’ve never met someone with so much understanding of life and truths.

David is a caring soul who has always paid close attention to the journey of the heart. I found myself in deep conversations with him about the issues in my own journey. It is in his very nature to listen and care about what he is hearing.
