Meet David

Welcome to Passionate Awakenings!

For over 30 years, I’ve been coaching and mentoring clients and students into the understandings and skills they need to create greater love, authenticity, true self-empowerment, and expansive possibility. I aim to do all things in a spirit of skillful, rigorous, creative play and adventure – all with my special sauce that helps people orient, anchor, and deepen their engagement with a profound  path of spiritual development.

Love calls – everywhere and always. Are you coming? ~ Rumi

For over 30 years

I’ve been helping IndividualsCouples, and Groups
heal and deepen their Love and their Power
and gain KnowledgeWisdom, and Skills.

My areas of Special Expertise include:

Communication

I’ve trained in and taught communication for decades, and draw from NVC (Non-Violent Communication), Compassionate Communication, and other systems. I’ve conducted many mediations for couples and groups, and even the occasional compassionate intervention.

Relationships and Relatedness

Life is relatedness, and the art of relationship is the art of living, and a key to spiritual awakening. I have taught skills and facilitated transformation in hundreds of relationships, both traditional/exclusive and alternative/ethical non-monogamous.

Sex, Love, Intimacy

Intimacy is one of our deepest desires, and holds many challenges. How do we keep love strong and sex fulfilling? This has always been at the heart of my work, and the deep dive of my study. Work with intimacy, love, and sex, in couples and beyond, is my great passion, especially in the context of spiritual development, including Tantra.

Triggers and Trauma

Trauma is widespread and few are spared. I have experienced severe PTSD and recovered completely, and I know exactly how I did that. I have completed advanced study in this area, and worked with client trauma for decades. Learning to explore and unpack triggers is a master skill in life and relationship.

Path Finding and Mentoring

Everyone faces transitions – some gradual and some shocking. These are the open moments most ripe for transformation to slip in, and for everything to reorganize for the better. I think of myself as a mentor and coach even more than a counselor. I love helping folks undergo creative transitions, career change, or life passages of all kinds.

Spiritual Development

I’m blessed to have taken initiation in a number of diverse spiritual traditions, and been personally mentored by some well known ground-breaking trailblazers. All of my work is infused with my deep and eclectic spiritual orientation. I always include this in sessions as applicable, and especially in longer training formats.

“David is a revolutionary. His teachings and open heart really touched my soul and have inspired me to ripple into the world spreading awareness of the unconditional love that we are immersed in!”

“David’s insights helped both of us tremendously, enabling each of us to better understand the terrain we were navigating, and resulting in what may possibly be the sweetest and most loving relationship between two “ex”-lovers known to man. Neither of us would trade our current relationship for anything we can imagine. Love and blessings.”

“David is able to create an incredibly safe space, where people can go very deeply within to parts of themselves that need healing, or need expression. Blocks to love and feeling can melt in the presence and deep listening that he offers. I recommend David’s work to anyone who feels a calling to be fully expressed in love, aliveness, and fulfillment.”

“After a few sessions with David, I experienced a transformational change. I woke up in the middle of the night and everything was different. I hadn’t been aware of the degree to which I weighed the opinions of others and my past experience until it was no longer there. FREEDOM. A whole new world of choices and options has opened up.”

I feel blessed by his presence.”

“My sessions with David have brought me some of the most profound healings I have experienced. Each session I find myself deepening ever more into a peaceful surrender to the unfolding of my own process that leaves me both enlivened and deeply relaxed. I highly recommend David to anyone who wants to drop deeply into themselves, cradled within the safe and loving container that he holds.”

Gwen

“David, I want to share some credit I received with you. I just gave a powerful healing session to a client of mine, and when he got off the table, he basically bowed down low and was in a state of gratitude and awe I haven’t seen yet in receivers! I truly think you helping me tend to my heart had a lot to do with how much love I could channel through my hands. Thanks for being with me in session.”

Lorina Manzanita
Somatic Relationship Coach and Workshop Leader, CA

“I am now more present, interactive, and alive, instead of introspective and quiet. Decisions now come from awareness available in the present moment rather than from the past. CONNECTION TO MYSELF. Overnight, I got at a deeper level what those three words mean. The awareness of new ways of embodying the choice is priceless. I fully take up space, and have more fun. Much love and gratitude.”
