I’m David Frank Gomes, a Vancouver-based life coach and mindfulness teacher.
There’s no shortage of information these days. Most of it doesn’t seem to make us feel any better.
At some point, people start to realize more information is not the answer.
Something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You’ve thought about it more than you’d like to admit. Talked it through. Run it past the people who care about you… even ChatGPT had a go at it.
It didn’t shift.
That’s usually a sign something deeper hasn’t been seen yet.
I work one-to-one with people over time to see their life more clearly and honestly — not just the problem of the week, but the patterns underneath it.
For more than twenty years, I have coached, mentored, and sat with people through success and failure, gain and loss, and the curve balls life throws you that you don’t see coming.
This work takes time. Things begin to shift when there is time and space to figure things out. Without being judged or rushed.
Over time, the work becomes a steady conversation about what to change, what to accept, and how to know the difference.
The first conversation is free. A chance to talk and see if this feels right for you.

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.
