How Does
Integral Coaching Work?
Integral coaching attends to a client’s whole self (mind, body, heart). After understanding your challenge, the underlying issues, and where else they are showing up in your life, I’ll design a program for you specifically addressing deeper issues, areas where you may need more growth, and what will support you in that growth. Through a series of sessions, the number and frequency appropriate to your situation, we will develop your awareness, skills, and competencies to meet challenges in ALL areas of your life.
What My Clients Are Saying
Joy

For anyone thinking about the coaching process and working with Dave....DO IT. Although I consider myself introspective and awake to my human journey, I was awed at the places he took me. Dave is incredibly present and makes you feel safe in the space you create together. With his guidance I was able to access parts of myself that, in hindsight, are so integral to who I am, but that had been hidden from me... or rather that I had been hiding from. Dave was meant to do this work. You can feel the genuine care he has for his clients and respect for their individual journey.

I've been doing cognitive behavioral therapy for years. I've made a lot of progress, but there has always been something else, something unidentified and unspoken, that's held back the big strides forward that I sensed could happen, but which I didn't know how to find. If my therapist has been building the car with me, Dave came in with the key. In our final sessions, we looked back on the initial goals he'd set for me. He actually got me there gently, efficiently, kindly, lovingly, and safely. I truly cannot recommend Dave highly enough.

As I stepped into a coaching relationship with Dave, I was met with an incredibly empathetic, supportive individual. Dave provided space for an internal wisdom to come forward and through a variety of exercises an opportunity to be supported. It was an incredibly grounding feeling to be seen, heard and supported by Dave.
If you have the opportunity to work with Dave, jump on it - you won’t be disappointed.

I began working with Dave because I felt extremely “Stuck” in my life. Dave began each session guiding me through a relaxation/meditative technique using his voice in a way that had an extremely calming effect on me and took away the anxiety I typically felt before each session. Most importantly, I felt safe with Dave, and I instinctively trusted him. He managed to quietly pull from me a lifetime of key experiences I had that brought me to the point of “being stuck”. He was patient, kind, and effectively but gently kept me on track by reminding me of the techniques I had learned and why they were important moving forward. I am forever grateful to have had this experience with him.

When I first started working with Dave, I felt stuck. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to work on but, he’s such a great question asker and listener. The overall theme was a need to de-clutter, inside and out. He identified areas where I excel and feel my best, so I can put that same energy into the areas I feel a deficit. I know Dave is 100% invested in helping me get where I want to go, even if I’m not totally sure where that is. This has felt like a real partnership.
I feel like I have more room in my life. On the outside, I have been getting more organized and freer of the clutter. On the inside, mentally and emotionally, I have more room to be in the moment. More space to just be with myself and absolutely capable of tackling anything that comes my way. Honestly, I haven’t felt this great in years.
