Hi, I’m David Hoogland.

My own path of calling has taken me through many different and challenging spaces of change. I’ve been a business leader, running several companies and navigating the complexities of building and leading teams. I’ve worked as a teacher in special education, creating connections with students facing unique challenges. I’ve also served at child protection services, standing at the intersection of vulnerability and resilience, helping families in some of their most critical moments.

Each of these roles was a chapter in my search for meaning—a journey that unearthed my personal myth and calling. Time and time again, I found myself starting over, facing the unknown, and letting go of my ego to step into something greater. These experiences taught me that every crisis is a calling and every transition, no matter how difficult, is an opportunity to find out who we really are.

As a mentor, I bring these lessons to you. I combine deep empathy and lived experience with a structured framework to guide you through your own journey of change. I’ll provide a safe and compassionate space for you to explore, reflect, and grow, while also offering practical tools and guidance to keep you grounded. Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of your story, allowing space for whatever needs to emerge to come into the light.

My approach is informed by trauma- and attachment-informed somatic practices, Jungian psychology, and years of walking alongside others in pivotal moments. I understand what it means to feel lost, to face fear, and to emerge on the other side stronger and more connected to your purpose and closer to your authentic self.

You are not alone on this path. My own personal calling brings me here to walk with you, to help you embrace your calling, and to guide you toward a life that feels aligned with your truest self.

Are you ready to begin? Let’s take the first step together.
