Why work with a human coach in an age of endless advice
I’m David Frank Gomes, a Vancouver-based life coach and mindfulness teacher. For more than twenty years, I have worked with people through transition, pressure, loss, ambition, reinvention, and the deeper question of how they want to live.
This is one-to-one work for people who want honesty, depth, and real movement.
Because in times of change, most people do not need more information.
They need a clear, human conversation that helps them see what matters and act on it.
A place where their life can be looked at carefully... honestly... over time.
Someone paying attention not just to the problem of the week, but to the deeper patterns underneath it.
I’ve worked with people through the parts of life that ask the most of us... decisions, relationships, transitions, and questions of direction, meaning, and change.
This is where mindfulness and coaching meet.
Mindfulness helps us see clearly.
Coaching helps us act on what matters.
Together, they create a thoughtful, ongoing conversation about how to live well... what to change, what to accept, and how to know the difference.
If something in your life needs a clearer look, you’re welcome to reach out.
There is no charge for the first conversation. It’s a chance to see whether working together feels right.

What clients say about working together.
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.
