" I had the honor of working with David consistently for over a year and experienced meaningful shifts in my sense of embodiment during this time. His presence is spacious, compassionate and incredibly attuned— he "listens" with his hands in a very unique and nourishing way, offering guidance that feels as much like remembering as it does learning. Through my time with him, I developed healthier movement and breath habits and started sensing my body in a way I didn’t have access to before (despite 20+ years of embodiment practices!). David has an incredibly deep understanding of anatomy and energy flow, emotional terrain and movement. From that depth, he supported me in having a more intimate relationship with my body, emotions and thoughts in a way that continues to inform the way I presence myself and move in the world."

“Working with David has been both transformative and deeply supportive on my journey of healing and self-awareness. He has a unique ability to attune to the body and offer a gentle, effective system of movement that brought me greater ease and joy—one I continue to use to this day. David’s presence and sensitivity created a safe, nurturing space for deep exploration of my internal world. Through his guidance, I developed a much richer, embodied understanding of the dynamic relationship between body and mind. For anyone seeking to reconnect with and heal through the body, David is a compassionate and skillful guide.”

As a long-time yoga therapist and embodiment practitioner, I find it truly delightful when someone has a depth of understanding for body, breath, and movement that is above and beyond. David draws his sensitive eye to the subtlest of movements. He offers insightful suggestions that deepen even the seasoned body into new realms of proprioception and embodiment. He is also, I might add, just true fun to be around- a great storyteller and very funny. I highly recommend his work."

David is a master listener. Working with him one-on-one profoundly deepened my appreciation for how being heard in my body can bring me back to wholeness. What brought me into David's office was stubborn and mysterious knee pain. It soon morphed into an expansive series of sessions in which, through gentle touch and precise vocabulary, he traversed my whole body, zeroing in on my pelvic floor as the root of the pain as well as older ailments. This wasn’t his discovery. It was mine! That’s what David does. He listens with his hands so you can connect the dots in your body. David’s a gifted healer. As a certified Structural Integrator in the same town as David, I’m proud to call on David for help in my body as well as call him a friend and mentor.

My sessions over two decades with David stand out as some of the most focused, fun, and illuminating encounters with body, breath, and Being. His presence is skillful in both individual and group sessions, online and in person. David is gifted at helping to befriend new internal spaces and awareness in transformative ways. As much as I appreciated the significant improvement in pain, the change in how I was relating ended up being the more enduring treasure.

David is a generous person and a skilled practitioner. He cares deeply about seeking humane connection and using his formidable capacities as a movement educator and therapist for the betterment of clients and students. I have had the chance to know first hand David’s capacities in both in person and remote contexts. In remote contexts, in particular, I have been deeply impressed with his ability to see nuance and detail in people’s body language and use, and to clearly articulate and guide people towards deeper understanding and embodiment. This is not a skill everyone possesses. David’s lifetime of significant professional practice and experience are impressive and they coalesce in masterful work that can help a wide array of people improve themselves on a journey of healing and self-understanding. I highly recommend working with David if you are seeking a compassionate and skilled facilitator who can identify the patterns and processes that may be impeding maximal efficiency or are causing discomfort or pain. He can help!

David Hurwith has a profound understanding of the human body and is a master in facilitating its capacity to heal itself. In just one session, he relieved me from years of chronic back pain. I am deeply grateful.

David Cantor, Investment Adviser

Receiving a healing session from David was, for me, one of the most profound somatic experiences I’ve had.

David holds space with rare sensitivity. His touch is precise, respectful, and deeply listening — I felt met exactly where I was, without rush or expectation. 

Those sessions stayed with me, in my tissues, in my breath, in my awareness.

Fernanda Coffers, Brazilian artist and bodyworker 

In our many sessions together, David gave me an experience of deep calm and nervous system regulation in the midst of postpartum anxiety. The way that David articulates and senses the body’s own vast vocabulary is nothing less than remarkable. 

He is a phenomenal bodyworker, teacher, and ally.

I remember as much as I can from David's lesson on breathing, even though two years have passed since he gave his last online class. I still have his voice inside me like a wise lifeline. Breath is the most accurate diagnosis of the psyche. And the only path to reverse the effect of my psyche on my body. And every time, but afterwards, I get up crystalline and eager to continue breathing, to live.
