Testimonials
"Working was David was wonderful and transformative. I came away from our session
with an appreciation for and confidence in my sexuality that has allowed me to see
and experience it as a gift that I own, that is mine to share and is not dependent
upon another. I have moved from being shy and apologetic about my needs and desires
to celebrating them and taking full responsibility for them." - Coaching client,
Portland, OR
"David Franklin is a masterful guide to fuller embodiment -- dropping out of the head, the mind, into our own flesh, our own bones, and living a grounded, fulfilling life. My work with him has exceeded all expectations, and I walk the world with more power and greater clarity. I recommend him to other men desiring similar breakthroughs." - Coaching client, Portland, OR
"David's x-ray-like observational abilities are bone-marrow piercing. His ability to draw out peoples' essence is unparalleled in my some sixty years on this planet." - Group participant, Portland, OR
"This group has been one of the best experiences I have had. I cannot thank David enough for the hard work he did with all of us." - Group participant, Portland, OR
"You have changed my life. I am more aware, present, and awake . . . ALIVE! Your work is priceless, and you are going to change the world." - Group participant, Portland, OR
"Working with David has been fantastic. I've learned a lot about being present, becoming aware of my own and my partner's energy, and learning how to move more into my masculine. I find David's teaching style really easy to follow, and he's very encouraging. In addition to my private sessions, I've also taken a group class with David and would recommend either for any man who is looking to take his sexuality to the next level. David walks his talk and is a model in our community of someone who practices what he preaches." - Coaching client, Portland, OR
"The coaching sessions are crisp and to-the-point. David is definitely the most attentive listener I've ever met. This not only lifts my spirit, but makes a huge difference in our ability to create. The shifts in my life have been profound, because they come from within. Just being with David alters who I am and inspires me." - Coaching client, San Diego, CA
"I got so much out of our session together - your presence was so loving, accepting, and huge I felt I could really let go and feel my feelings fully. The way you guided me through my body and into the sensations gave me a new perspective and allowed me to release tons of old pain. Afterward and ever since I've felt lighter and more free. Thank you so much. There are no words to describe how grateful I am." - Coaching Client, Bend, OR
"I would highly recommend your workshops. I admire your planning, creating a sacred safe space, script used for explanation, ease with (your co-facilitator), incorporating other sources (DVD), music during sessions, and dialogue for intimacy." - Workshop participant, Portland, OR
"The way you held space felt strong yet responsive. Your presence was compassionate, confident, and inviting." - Student, Portland, OR
"Your work is very powerful. I greatly appreciate your feedback and insights. You are a gifted healer who is respectful, loving, and safe. I have a lot of friends and clients healing from abuse issues that could really benefit from what you do. I am amazed by the results of what we did." - Coaching Client, Portland, OR
"David did a masterful job of modeling open presence and inspired me to reconnect with the Heart of Tantra. I especially appreciated the manner in which he gently exposed the potential pitfall among many Tantric practitioners to unconsciously misuse Tantra as another "fix" or "high" to escape the often terrifying inner work required to love oneself and cultivate authentic intimacy. Thank you David for your raw honesty and presence, and keep coming back!" - S.C., Portland, OR
"The atmosphere in the room was magical and the feeling of presence emanating from the attendees was palpable. David wove a simple yet powerful message that reinforced to me both the beauty and spirit contained in Tantra and the diligent practice and work that needs to be maintained as one navigates through this journey." - T.R., Portland, OR
"I had a very profound experience. I developed a deeper trust with my partner than I ever had before. I did not have an expectation of the clearings I would experience." - Workshop participant, Portland, OR
"Thanks for the class. I find myself doing things, thinking of things, and reconnecting with Self in all of us in deeper ways than before." - Dance student, Portland, OR
