“David is the embodiment of compassion. His teachings are bespoke and incredibly effective, and I warmly recommend him to anyone committed to understanding what mindfulness is and to developing a practice. It can change your life.”

“As an autistic person I have found it hard to find someone I can work with to help me further on my journey over the years. However, working with David has helped me to learn some really insightful techniques that I could add to my day-to-day life to become more present within the body and soothe the nervous system when it enters fight or flight mode or a time of illness….I highly recommend David to anyone who would like a gentle hand that can guide them through developing daily practices to help reduce stress and learn new ways of dealing with certain daily life challenges through these practices.”

“The thoughts of my illness, which is schizophrenia, are haphazard and convoluted and complicated concoctions of fears and anxieties, and so the ability to say to myself, I’m not going to think that because it’s not true, and pass on to the next thought, really does free me from the agony and desperation of schizophrenia. [David]…created an exercise for moving on from my thoughts, and I realised that it works, and it brought me great joy, really, because it set me free.”
-Rachel
“I have been struggling with a number of symptoms for many years. Initially I was unsure how David and his type of treatment may be able to help. I was surprised how calm, easy going and understanding David was when we initially spoke. Additionally, it was his time spent as a monk that I felt could help me further and in a unique way, opposed to others trained within the psychological field. [Working with David], I came to understand how my past experience and trauma had been creating beliefs and patterns of behaviour that put my body into a sympathetic state, which make my symptoms worse. David used tools which were and are simple to follow…. I am now at a point where I am no longer in that state as often and as a result, I have more balance within myself and in my life.”

“Thank you for providing practical mindfulness techniques which the people attending can follow up and maintain the practice. The group particularly commented on how useful these techniques are. [The session was] well-paced, met the needs of the group, and engaged the group and answered their questions.”

“…each week the discussions on the various topics of mindfulness have further reinforced my understanding of the importance of a healthy mind. The practices, such as being aware of one's breath, have been extremely useful when wanting to clear the mind of past worries and future anxieties. I would highly recommend it to anyone that worries or struggles to deal with stress.”

“I have learned the ability to stop myself when I start thinking about a conversation I haven't even had yet with someone. I would normally over-think an issue or problem which would be very upsetting. I now stop those thoughts and they go away.”
-FN
“[The course] really highlighted how busy my mind can be and has taught the practices to cope with this. I feel like I no longer panic when there are lots of different things going on in my mind. I am more able to let my thoughts go and effectively 'park' them until I need to deal with them, if I need to deal with them at all.”

“After my first meeting with David, I was already a different person. I realized that the meditations that I was doing every day, were giving me back the awareness in my life. He gave me many useful meditations [and] helped me scheduling my meditations as well and explained really well why the meditation was useful. He helps looking at a problem from a different perspective and that often really opened my eyes and made it much easier to cope with everything. Personally, I would recommend David to anyone that is dealing with life.”

“I have introduced the breathing element into various aspects of my day-to-day life; this allows me to have control over situations, due to living in the present, […] more composed as a result.”
-FN
“Have been able to be more objective. Become much better at guiding my thoughts where I want them or perhaps away from where I don't want them. Learned to step back and take a pause before refocusing. Can help relaxation. Helpful, useful, and instructive.”
-FN
