David Frank Gomes: Coach | Thinking Partner | Mindfulness Teacher
People don't necessarily come to me because they've decided they need a coach. They come because something in their lives has become difficult to think about on their own.
Many years ago, someone came to me with a specific problem he was facing. We worked on it for several months. It got solved. But he didn't leave. He booked another six months. I asked him why.
He said, "I think I think better with you."
By the time most people find me, they've already talked to the people they trust. Their partner. Their friends. Their colleagues.
They've gathered advice.
Sometimes what they need is a conversation with someone who isn't part of the situation. Someone they don't have to protect, reassure, impress, or explain themselves to.
A place to think things through over time, see your life differently, and discover ways forward that you might not have found on your own.
The first conversation is free.
No obligation. Just an opportunity to see if we're a good fit.

Working with David has been one of the most profound experiences of my life.
After having my first child I suffered from devastating postpartum. After two years without sleep, job transitions, family health issues, a serious deficit in self-care and a changing identity, my marriage started to crack.
David helped me re-orient to my new life and remember the significance of my spiritual journey and he walked me through the fog to discover and embrace my true values.
Talking with David is like talking to the most wise, humble and interesting friend you have. I had never before experienced the level of connection I felt with him on deep and difficult topics and often left those conversations either weeping with gratitude or rushing from a new insight. He inspires compassion, love and growth. My family will be forever grateful. He created a space for us to grow into our best selves.
