Hi, I'm David
For the past fifteen years, I’ve also helped leaders turn lived experience into real-world impact. I help them integrate their impact and the way they show up, lead, and serve.
I’ve also devoted myself to the magical and deeply profound work with ayahuasca. I feel that my life truly began after my first cup, when trauma was released and I was able to step into who I am. You can hear about my first ceremony here.
Your voice is a powerful instrument
I help people accept and celebrate their story and the power it carries. Many of the people I work with already are a lighthouse, but they don’t trust the ground they’re standing on.
They dim their light because they’re afraid that if they shine fully, something will collapse.
My work is about the foundation. I help people place their lighthouse on solid ground, so it can stand through changing weather, visibility and growth.
When the base is stable, the light doesn’t need to be forced. It simply shines.
Most of my clients carry experiences that can guide others and transform millions of lives.
My role is to make sure their light is a steady signal - not flickering, not apologetic.
From that place, they can lead, shine, and serve.
The Triangle Of Transformative Impavt
The Triangle of Transformative Impact
My work is structured as a triangle. Three levels that build on each other. Truth establishes trust. Trust allows transmission. Transmission creates transformation and impact. If any side is missing, the structure does not hold.
Level 1. Truth and trust
This is where everything begins.
To create real impact and shine with strength, you have to see the truth of your own power, voice, wisdom, and how you actually show up. This requires meeting yourself through a clear perception lens.
This is the work of the Mirror.
The task is revelation. What is already present is brought into view. Perception stabilizes. Distortion loosens. What you carry becomes visible and usable.
When truth is seen and held, trust forms. Trust in your voice. Trust in your capacity. Trust in what moves through you.
That trust becomes the foundation for your light.
Without it, nothing that follows is stable.
Level 2. Transmission and service
Once truth is embodied and trust is established, it must move.
Transmission is the shaping of voice, presence, and platform so what you carry can pass through you accurately. This is where service begins.
Here, you build your platform on your transmission, on your terms. Language sharpens. Signal stabilizes. Transformational power is used consciously.
You become able to carry meaning without distortion. Wisdom becomes practical. Service becomes grounded.
Level 3. Transformation and impact
When transmission is coherent, impact expands.
This stage begins when a platform exists, a book is forming, and you are ready for larger visibility. This is where you step forward to tell your story publicly and let it work in real time.
This level is transformative because what was held privately enters the field. Responsibility increases. Influence has consequence.
The final journey is the Sacred Impact Mastermind. This is the deepest form of transcendence. The journey shifts from personal process to collective movement. Lived experience becomes leadership. The path turns into contribution.
You arrive at the point you have been walking toward from the beginning.
My story

My story *
Sensitivity & Trauma trigger: mentions abuse.
I was born in Norway into a highly unstable family marked by alcohol and violence. When I was two years old, I was placed into foster care, where I was subjected to severe abuse and neglect.
Animals and nature became my main source of safety, especially the goats on the farm where I lived. Because I lacked consistent human care, I did not develop language or social behavior in the way children normally do at that age. Many of my behaviors were more similar to how goats relate than how humans do. This later became a source of deep shame. At the same time, like most children, I was highly adaptive. The moment I was placed in a safe and loving home, I began to develop, relate, and flourish. Even so, the trauma and pain from those early years could not be processed, digested, or healed at that age.
After several placements, I was taken in by my third and final family. From the age of five and a half, I grew up in a loving and stable home. That stability saved my life. Still, the earlier trauma remained in my body and nervous system. I had no capacity to understand or integrate as a child.
As an adult, this showed up as repeated self-sabotage and difficulty sustaining stability and success. I understood that something deeper needed to be addressed. I was drawn to coaching because of its focus on the present moment and behavioral change. I built a coaching company and worked with leading figures in the transformational field, supporting them in growing their work and impact.
Despite external success, the core issues remained unresolved.
After many years of feeling the call, I attended an ayahuasca retreat. In the first days of working with the medicine, I accessed and released trauma and emotional material that had not been reachable through other approaches. It became clear to me that this was not a drug, but a powerful medicine that required responsibility, structure, and long-term integration.
Over time, I continued this work alongside my professional life. For more than ten years, I worked at retreats, trained in integration facilitation, and supported people in retreat and training settings, while keeping this work largely separate from my public professional identity.
Today, my work focuses on supporting people after ceremony and helping leaders, facilitators, and practitioners integrate their experiences in a grounded, responsible, and livable way.
Because of this work, I see myself today as one of the happiest and most blessed humans on this earth. That is a long distance from where I started this journey. It reminds me of the quote: It’s not the mountain you stand on, it’s where you started walking. I love walking with those who are on this path, doing deep, meaningful work that not only changes their lives, but also inspires and helps others find their way home.
