Full Breath Massage

I just went to David 's seminar. He was honest in his intentions, he is sharing of his knowledge and his talent. I can't wait to make an appointment and feel his heart in his hands. Marsha Black

I began seeing David after I fell and strained my back during my first pregnancy. During our initial phone consultation, I was immediately struck by his thoughtful manner and gentle approach. David asked detailed questions to figure out exactly what problems I was having and even made suggestions for what we might try in our sessions together. I had high hopes for how he might help me based on that first conversation. But I was even more impressed with our actual sessions. David easily remembered everything we discussed, even things I regarded as minute details. It was evident that he incorporated all the information I shared into a truly customized massage treatment, sharply aimed at problem solving while filled with compassion and care. He not only helped heal my back muscles from my injury but also continued to work with me through my changing needs as my pregnancy progressed. In particular, I can't say enough about the breathwork that David makes central to his work. I must admit that I had never been "good" with massages - I've always had trouble relaxing and quieting my mind. But David's breathwork transformed for me the experience of having a massage. I finally understood how therapeutic and healing a massage in the right hands can be. And I realized how important the same breathing techniques David showed me during our treatments could be during labor. As I got closer to my due date, I literally told my partner that I needed him to be my David once labor started. During our homebirth, the work with the breath and the accompanying visualizations David introduced me to were absolutely key to helping me - and my partner - stay aware and responsive to my body's needs, focused on making my way through contractions, and calm and relaxed (whenever possible) in order to have a successful natural birth without medication. I've seen David for my second pregnancy, too - not because I've had any particular problems, but simply because he works wonders and I always emerge from our sessions feeling entirely refreshed and restored. I wholeheartedly recommend David, whether you're pregnant or not. He's the best!
