Ready for Growth?

“We reached out to David as a last resort. Our relationship was filled with tension and communication breakdowns, we were struggling with our sexual connection, and it felt like we had grown apart. From the beginning, David created an ease and flow in our sessions, which made us feel relaxed and supported us in having honest conversations. Throughout the process, we have learned to understand each other’s sensitivities, attachment styles, needs and the impact of our past histories. We also learned practical tools for communication (including when triggered), how to listen without judgment, how to take care of our parts inside (life changing!), how to laugh and have fun again, and gained clarity on what we both want to create moving forward. We also explored new ways to reconnect intimately and address our sexual concerns honestly and vulnerably, which first required reestablishing safety and trust. This was a huge breakthrough for us. The progress we’ve made has been incredible, and we’ve become better at celebrating our wins and navigating challenging times. David’s support has helped us reconnect and rebuild our relationship, and we’re so grateful for the growth we’ve experienced. Thank you, David.” JS & MP

“I had David recommended to me through a business colleague, having been told that he had helped transform her life – naturally I was intrigued. At the time I was completely demoralised with my job and unhappy and frustrated with my relationship and various aspects of my life. I must say that from the outset with David, what you see is what you get: 100% professionalism, support and commitment. Within seven months of working with David I had left my relationship, learned to love, respect, and value myself, achieved my optimum weight, was head-hunted for my dream job (with a $37k increase in salary!) and regained my confidence and self-esteem, which, as David reminded me, had just been buried.  Whilst David has instilled in me that all of my success is down to me, I know otherwise! Amongst the many tips and techniques he has given me, I can only thank him from the bottom of my heart, which I now feel reconnected to. Thank you, David.” LP

“I started working with David after returning to work in End of Life care, just after the death of my father. The sessions I had with him helped me to process and shift deeper grief and trauma in my body and supported me in having honest, vulnerable, and emotional conversations which proved cathartic and healing. David read my body, sensed where the energy was held, and helped release it. I feel so grateful for the healing, which helped me cope with the work I do and assisted my spiritual journey. I will always remember our time together, which had a life-changing impact on me.”  JB

“David was a saving grace. He provided me with a safe space to be myself, to open up and allowed me to see other points of view in my situation. He shared wisdom, validated my feelings, and helped me see deeper meaning in each situation I faced. He truly has a gift, and is helping me heal my wounds and care for my inner self and child. Thank you David.” AD

“David helped me make my way through some very difficult and at times dark periods of my life, and whilst I understand that I will continue to face life challenges, he has supported me in finding the awareness, confidence, and tools to move forward. Thank you for never judging, for listening, for caring, for being there when I needed you, for sharing your wisdom and to be honest, for simply being you. You have helped me in ways I don’t think you will ever fully appreciate. I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed.”  BM

“I knew nothing about Craniosacral Therapy before being introduced to David, who is one of the calmest, most welcoming, and nurturing of people I have ever met. I immediately felt at ease in his company. My heart felt broken through grief and trauma which had been held there for years. David took the time to gently explore this with me during sessions and also to locate this in my body. He masterfully helped to shift this and realign feelings embedded within me for the good. This was the progress I needed. Naturally, I still feel the pain of grief and I sense that the experiences I have had will always stay with me in some way but David’s support helped to level these out, which enabled me to move forwards and to not feel stuck or helpless as I did before. I am incredibly grateful to him for helping me move so gently to a safer place within myself.”  JA

“Upon first seeing David, I felt unhappy, negative, out of touch with reality, disconnected, frustrated, and confused all at the same time.  My initial concern about seeing David was that since I had tried so many other therapists in the past and nothing had come of it, that the exact same thing would end up happening with him.  What I have learned about myself from our time together is that there’s nothing wrong with me and that I’d just experienced situations that were overwhelming for me at that time. How that was then and this is now, and something that could be worked through over time by being kind and compassionate to myself, putting the work in, and understanding that I wouldn’t feel that way forever.  What I like most about David’s approach to therapy is how different it feels. In our sessions, it doesn’t feel like I’m going out of my way to get help for myself to the point where I feel overwhelmed, which is a great help, as I always leave the sessions feeling better than when I went. I’ve realised that there is nothing wrong with me, that I always have a choice, that that is where my power lies, and that I can choose to keep growing.  I am now feeling much more confident in every sense, especially within myself, with what I want in life, and how to tackle mental health issues. I’m no longer spending days on end cooped up inside my home without doing anything to better the situation. I’m now able to go out and enjoy life. Honestly, I haven’t felt this good in probably, well, ever really.” JB

“For the past twenty-five years, I’ve travelled throughout Australia and many countries around the world in search of healing and self-growth. I’ve tried many alternative healing modalities along the way. I was feeling quite lost when I first reached out to David. From our very first session, I felt safe and comfortable in the space he provided. Over recent months, my sessions with David have helped me to understand myself better, connect with and take care of vulnerable parts within me, regulate my nervous system, and gain deep insights on a range of areas that has helped change my life. He has empowered me with the necessary tools and awareness that I can use in real-time when life gets challenging. Words cannot truly describe the profound impact it’s had on me. David has been a true blessing.” PS

“David has an amazing gift of presence. Throughout my sessions I felt genuinely supported and guided, and I experienced a deep sense of safety, calm, and clarity. David’s support offered me the space to become still such that I could process things that were held in my body and to move forward with a sense of peace during what was a truly healing experience.”  RK

“I have been on a healing journey for many years now, and each new stage has opened a door to the next room.  In this case, the door to Somatic Experiencing opened, and thankfully, I found David.  I came to David with feelings of insecurity, emasculation, anxiety, and confusion over who I was and how I wanted to show up in the world.  I felt an instant connection with David and his approach to healing.  He is incredibly experienced and patient, and I always felt heard.  Although my initial inquiry was focused predominantly on feelings of stored trauma in my body, David guided me toward a much broader path of empowerment and facing my fears.  With David’s wisdom and support, I have reconnected with my masculinity, learned to be braver, discovered men’s groups and circles, changed careers, and so much more.  After an initial period of weekly work together, we have now settled into a rhythm of periodic sessions, and I feel blessed that David and I can continue to work together as new challenges arise.  It has been a real honour to sit with such a wise man with such a good heart. I cannot recommend David enough.” AD

“Before meeting with David, I felt lost, angry, and perpetually unhappy, often resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms I had relied on for years. I knew I couldn’t continue like this. From our first conversation, I felt a sense of calm and knew I needed to commit to weekly sessions.  Throughout this process, I have explored a range of emotions and gained insights into why I have spent so much time in a constant state of fight or flight, which has been incredibly exhausting and unhealthy.  I’m beginning to understand the impact of the turmoil I’ve faced over the years and am starting to embrace a much easier, more fulfilling life. I’m experiencing significantly less anxiety, more happiness, and healthier thoughts, and I’m truly grateful for everything that David has helped me with.  The best part is that it becomes really easy when you have the right tools. With David’s guidance, I’ve learned to navigate my emotions and build a healthier mindset. It’s empowering to know that I can face challenges without feeling overwhelmed, and I’m excited to continue this journey of growth and self-discovery.” FS

“I cannot thank David enough for the support he has given me. I had been on a healing journey for the past few years and tried many things. Nothing has impacted my wellbeing so significantly as the work David has done with me and I never would have anticipated the internal tectonic shift that I would experience as the result of his support. Traumas and past hurts that had been locked deep down in me were given room to rise to the surface and be processed and gently released. My body feels lighter and I feel more connected to my true self. Thank you, David, for helping me to find the path back to my authentic self.”  SD

“This process has been truly transformative for me. It has encouraged more positive thought patterns and helped me understand my emotions, and the reasons behind them. Moving forward, I feel more optimistic than ever about handling life’s challenges, whether they are everyday issues or larger obstacles that could impact my life in the long term. If I had met David ten years ago, I would have been far better equipped to navigate difficult life circumstances. This experience has taught me that there is no time like the present to make lasting, positive changes.” PJ

“I was referred to David by a work colleague, and I’m so grateful for that recommendation. David guided me to open my mind, improve my self-esteem and confidence, and go for my dream job in Events Management, which was a complete career change for me. This whole journey has opened many doors, not only in my career but also in other areas of my personal life.  I’ve gained many tips, tools, and aha moments along the way, leading to a better understanding of myself and major improvements in all aspects of my life, including my organizational skills – ha! I now make lists every day. Thank you, David.  You’ve truly helped me change my life and to love, value, and be compassionate towards myself. Thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement always. As you say, “You’re one of life’s diamonds!” MS

“Highly recommend if you’re ready to change your life. David is truly gifted in his work and has supported me immensely this year through a tough diagnosis. Now I’m feeling stronger than ever. Thank you from my heart.” PB
