“Going through a creative process with Davis is an extremely profound experience of introspection and sharing through movement. His search for meaning, his serenity, and his sympathetic ear provide invaluable support and guidance in the research and creation of dance movement. His bodily intelligence and sincerity enable us to move towards an authentic connection with ourselves and with him. I have complete confidence in Davis and feel lucky to be sharing the movements of dance and life with this inspiring person!”

“The most valuable thing in our interaction for me was our Skype sessions with real-time communication. It was an emotionally difficult period for me in those days. I was going through global changes in my life: personal and professional... My greatest achievement in our work was to recognize the volume of my inner resources and to support myself as I am. I still continue to hone this skill: to see and recognize my situation and restrictions, and evaluate my achievements in connection with the real state of affairs, and not my fantasies about perfecting myself... I can’t help noting the quality of your accompaniment. You did summaries at the end of each meeting, sent letters with a worked-out program. You have always been in touch. You know how to create a receiving, kind, listening space. ”

“I love the combination of celebration and humility.”

“I realised that I have a fear of intimacy, to get closely in contact with another being - more so with the opposite sex. I felt really safe in the container and I learned that I could walk away from the contact without it being an issue. That was liberating, especially healing from Complex PTSD and setting healthy boundaries. I left this two day workshop with a big smile. I couldn’t stop laughing, and found myself playful and youthful”

“Having just recently gone through a very intense break up, my mental space is a little sensitive right now. As chance would have it, Davis reached out to me and offered his services at the perfect time and I am extremely grateful for his support. In the span of one sessionI experienced a level of patience and careful listening from Davis that allowed me to open up in unexpected ways. His ability to ask the right questions at the right time enabled me to process my grief and distill it into empowerment. I would recommend Davis to anyone. I have had two sessions with him so far, and there is one word to describe them: Levity.”

“What you’ve shared with us, and how you’ve held space and guided us through every practice, was truly beautiful. Your presence was warm, non-judgemental, supportive, attentive, yet non-intrusive. It is important to mention that I used to struggle to work with male-bodied practitioners, having hard times to ease up in their presence. This was my first experience in a while where I felt safe and held in a space, and I am very grateful for your ability and compassionate heart to create such an experience. I received support and definitely healing—from you, other participants and really—every intentional word, move, and sound that was shared in the space. I left nurtured and lighter—in my body and soul. Thank you, Davis, for helping me deepen the connection to my bodily wisdom, thank you for holding space and offering such gentle guidance, and truly thank you so much for the work that you do in this world!”

“In the workshop, when we were crawling - and, as a baby I didn’t like to crawl, I just started walking - I see that I like in life to skip over some parts, sometimes to my benefit, sometimes not really. In childhood, I skipped that developmental stage, and in life I try to do that as well. For example, with learning, I just want to skip right through to the final test, kind of glancing over material. How I make money. How I do business. How I do anything really. I know that I’m always looking for those shortcuts - how I can go to the next level without doing the actual work. And I saw that in me crawling. How I learned not to crawl and to walk immediately, and to skip things. It’s not a bad thing. I don’t have any judgement. It’s just how I do things. That was a major insight”
