David is an international trainer of Nonviolent Communication, a Somatic Coach, an Aikido instructor, and a master goldsmith. His book, “Becoming What You Need” and the work that he’s developed called Somatic Consensus offers essential basics to orient one’s personal practice towards embodiment and lifelong, artful paths. 

He leads workshops locally and around the world for a diverse audience of people seeking to connect with the wisdom of the body, deepen their relationships, and find their voices in this rapidly changing world. Woven into his programs are the time-honored lessons of mastery and conflict resolution distilled from the peaceful art of Aikido. 

He offers individual coaching, workshops, and classes to help synchronize language, emotions, and actions to support a meaningful life that is deeply felt and that sheds light on the less-emphasized nonverbal realm in which the majority of communication occurs. He loves to help his clients to develop their abilities to self-direct, self-generate, and navigate through the complexities of life with greater clarity and integrity. Together with his wife Judith, along with 8 other families, they co-founded an intentional community where they raised their family since 1990 in Indianola, Washington within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People).
