David Frank Gomes

David's coaching work produces subtle yet powerful results. He is intuitive and thought provoking and challenges the individual to stand in his or her own power. With just a few simple words David had a profound effect on me when I shared a work related issue I was dealing with.

I was looking for a life coach for help with a career change. I wanted a coach with a spiritual element, and someone with whom I felt a personal connection. I knew from our first call that David’s co-active coaching was a good fit for me.

David was extremely professional, and always brought a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm to our coaching sessions, as well as a mindfulness and a present-moment focus. When I was having doubts about my path, or was feeling low, David always had complete faith in my vision, and always held that vision for me. Through him, I realized that reaching your goals is not just about doing, but about becoming and being, and that the journey is as important as the destination.

I would recommend his coaching for anyone looking for deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

"David has been my Life Coach and mentor since I met him 2 years ago. It has been and incredibly eye opening experience, much to do with David’s guidance and support during that time. I’ve had my challenges, some big some small but David has always shown me great perspectives to overcome my fears of the unknown and to move forward in a positive way. I recommend David's wisdom to anyone who is struggling with life on life’s terms and for those who seek to find their full potential, empowerment and enlightenment.

I decided to work with David at a point in my professional life when I was questioning what my next step was:  staying in the corporate world or venturing out on a journey of passion in the entreprenurrial world.  David became more than a coach.  He challenged me, inspired me and most importantly reminded me of why I was looking for "more."  Through my journey of professional self discovery, David always helped return my manic mind to first priciples.  What is your passion?  Who do you want to be?  One thing he told me that I will never forget is, "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect."  It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections."   My journey with David has helped me realize enough about myself that I'm confident in any path I decide to take in life.

At age 45, my life and health took a drastic turn. I had a stroke. I was physically and emotionally broken. David shared his wisdom with me and showed me how to see and feel my new situation. I became aware from the inside out that I was capable of making the necessary changes in my life to make my new challenges just another part of life.
I am always employing his wisdom in my daily life, and his help will never be forgotten.

A friend sent me the link to Life Compass Coaching’s website and that is where I saw the inspiring video of David and Biscuit on the beach. I was embarking on an exciting new journey but recognized that there were still old beliefs holding me back from taking it in fully. When I heard David say that coaching is “sacred work” I knew that was the kind of support I wanted. With his gentle, focused direction I had multiple ‘aha’ moments that have really inspired and challenged me to see things with a new perspective. I always left our sessions feeling full of gratitude and excited about how I could share my gifts in a way that is meaningful to me. Thank you David!

David's coaching was transformational for me. David has a keen intuitive sense that gets to the heart of the matter and called out some things that I had hidden inside me. David used a combination of challenging me while supporting me to help me see what needed changing and got me started on my journey towards that change. If you are looking to transform your life, David's the perfect coach for you

David Frank Gomes has a deep insight and realistic approach to what matters most. His clarity and extraordinary ability to get to the point make this work sustainable. I can't recommend him enough for anyone who needs some change.

Dear David,
It is with great thanks that I write this letter.
Last year I suffered immense pain due to a near fatal automobile accident that my son was in. He was in a coma; the family was told that there was a good chance that he could die and we were told that if/when my son came out of the coma, the damage to his brain would be uncertain.
David helped me get into a place where I was able to cope.
There was no one, not family or friends, that were able to get me to this place of acceptance and understanding. Through his coaching, he was able to help me reach a very unreachable place in my head and heart and find more peace.
My son did live, although he is different person than he was before his accident, and I continue to heal, in great part to David's role as my Coach.

Before I learned of David and his work, I had seen two prominent specialists, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist, to whom my Dr. referred me.
These people were unable to help me in any significant manner, and all I received was a prescription.

In direct contrast, David's approach continues to be powerful, and has significantly helped me in this journey of recovery.
I highly recommend his Life Coaching as a way to transform anything in your life
Sincerely, and with great respect,

David acted as my life coach during the last few months of an incredible turning point in my life. He supported me through the difficulties of selling a business I owned and operated for the last 18 years. His ability to help me through this difficult and emotional time by seeing a new perspective on many different levels proved invaluable. it helped me deal positively with the staff I have had for almost two decades as well as my own personal struggles with such a landmark in my life. I would highly recommend David to anyone in need of coaching.

During the fifteen years of having the pleasure of knowing David, I have collaborated on various creative projects. On each occasion, David has brought great insight and skill and I would highly recommend him as a consultant or life coach.

I come to it with a blank slate, not knowing where the session is going to go, and leave feeling so much has been addressed that I wasn't consciously aware of, issues that were definitely hiding under the surface and needed attention.

I feel like David understands, and helps me realize my thoughts and feelings without being judgmental. An hour goes by effortlessly and still makes a great impact on my life/decisions/outlook. Realistic goals, no pressure, not pushy.

I think everyone should have a life coach. David knows how to lead the conversation in the right direction and asks the right questions that make the conversation worthwhile and ultimately helps you figure out who you are and what you truly want out of life.

David is a highly intuitive and creative person. I have worked with David on different projects and continue to work with him. I have been able to observe David as a Co-Active coach and I admire how his sensitivity and knowledge help his clients develop and achieve their potential and growth.

" I started working with David in 2011 on the creation of my new website: www.champlainheights.com. The vision I had for this unique real estate website was to reflect the beauty of the Champlain neighbourhood and to create a site which promoted community building. David understood the concept immediately and was the sounding board I needed to develop the project. The ultimate result was better than expected and I attribute this to David's creative abilities and focus. Thank you David!"

I can't believe how much changed for me in 6 weeks... It's truly transformational work you're doing.

David is a soulful, perceptive, and intuitive coach who, perhaps because of his background as a film maker, sees things that clients may not. He finds really compelling ways to invite deeper awareness and meaning in people's lives. It's a treat to collaborate with David.

David asks the most fabulously uncomfortable questions with compassion and curiosity. I usually find myself chewing on those questions for days, and our conversations unfailingly lead me to some deeper understanding about what's important, and help me find greater clarity about what I need to do. He's creative, direct, gentle, and 100% trustworthy.
