Testimonials
Working with someone new can feel vulnerable. You might think: Will I feel truly seen? Can I be honest about what’s really going on? Will this actually help me? These are important questions. To help you take that first step with more confidence, here are a few words from past clients who once stood where you are now — unsure, but hopeful. Their experiences may give you the reassurance you need to set up a discovery call and explore what’s possible.
David F from Detroit
"David Rosenthal has a gift. He has the dynamics of a teacher, caretaking of a mother, leadership of a father, empathy of a best friend and spiritual connection of a Rabbi.
He is more than a life coach. He is more than a therapist.
He guides you to that one thing you have been seeking your whole journey on this earth - a map to guide you through some of the most complicated, enjoyable, and rewarding terrain on this earth. Each map like no other. Simply because it is a map of yourself.
Anyone who is searching, anyone who is discouraged, anyone who is dissatisfied, anyone frustrated with treading water. David with his broad knowledge, charisma, creativity and vast life experience will help you navigate that gift we were all given, the gift of life.
I would highly recommend David to anyone."

"I cannot recommend Da-vid Rosenthal highly enough as a marriage coach. Da-vid combines profound knowledge of family systems, attachment theory, and the complex dynamics between men and women with a rare set of intangible talents—patience, clarity, empathy, and unwavering support. David has an incredible talent to connect with both spouses, understand their perspectives, and create a safe, judgment-free space.
What sets Da-vid apart is his skill in meeting couples exactly where they are and guiding them, step-by-step, with care and wisdom. He has a gift for helping couples feel at ease, no matter how challenging the issues may seem. David is incredibly fair and ensures that both partners feel seen, heard, and understood, offering insights that validate each person’s experience while bridging the gap between them.
On a personal level, I can confidently say that Da-vid has transformed my marriage. He didn’t just help us communicate better—he taught us how to truly hold space for each other, build trust, and create a deeper sense of connection than I ever had before. Because of David, my spouse and I now have a relationship that feels unified, supportive, and full of potential for growth and intimacy.
No matter where you are as a couple—whether you’re struggling to connect, working through conflicts, or just looking to elevate your relationship to the next level—Da-vid is the coach you want by your side. His guidance is nothing short of life-changing, and I would recommend him to anyone who is ready to put in the effort to transform their marriage into something extraordinary."

“My husband and I immersed in a 12 session journey to find new connection & insight; both as couple and for the purpose of individual growth.
Directly from the start, David came to each session with full presence, prepared with creative ideas and full commitment to support our goals. His sense of humor and gentle yet direct manner, helped expose new awarenesses in our marriage of 18 years.
David offered easy to implement tools to apply to our specific relational needs. Any “homework“ was just the right dose to churn the depths.
I highly recommend David’s expertise and warm demeanor to anyone seeking personal or relationship transformation.”
Jill Boyle from San Diego
"This work (with David) has been so incredibly helpful to me both personally AND professionally. I've been able to develop new insights about ways I've been stuck and holding myself back, and have been able to resolve them to move forward. David has helped push me to go deeper in my self-exploration and I feel more confident than ever to be successful in my career. I've been a therapist for over a decade and this has honestly been more helpful to me than any other therapy or coaching I've ever completed!"
Dorit and Art from Toronto
"It’s been almost two years since we’ve worked with Da-vid and I’m thrilled to share this testimonial.
In short, working with David radically improved our relationship, business and life.
Below is the more detailed version 😉
When we started working with David we were already seeped deeply into the world of personal development and life coaching. Art, my husband and I did a lot of work on ourselves individually, but we’d come to a point where we needed to learn how to listen and hear each other so we could elevate our relationship and work together towards what we want to accomplish as a couple.
This skill is so simple and yet so difficult to master because our egos were in the way.
The challenge was: how to cultivate a marriage that honors our individual needs?
We don’t want to live a life where we both constantly ‘sacrifice’ our own needs for the sake of other, but instead learn how our needs can coexist.
We both needed a new way to be together, and it felt like we were forging into uncharted territory.
It became apparent that we needed a guide, a Sherpa. Da-vid was that Sherpa for us.
Working with him helped us make sense of this scary and unknown territory in a productive way.
We met with him weekly over zoom and slowly learned to let go of our armor (I.e. ego).
I’d muster the courage to share my deepest fears and Art would actually listen and then he did the same and I’d listen and hear him back.
In the beginning we needed a lot of refereeing, and someone who could stop our egos and focus our attention on the intention - which is to cultivate a relationship that’s built on trust, safety and authenticity.
It was a hard process, but so worth it!!
It’s been two years and I’m so proud of how far we’ve come!
In the past when we had a tension between us I’d arrange a coaching session with David, and he’d do his magic.
Now we don’t need the intervention anymore because we’ve learned to let go of our egos and prioritize the relationship and communicate our ‘selfish’ needs with courage and trust on our own.
I trust that my needs have the right to be fulfilled and Art feels the same.
It’s a dance which we are still learning, but I’ve never been happier in our relationship. I know my husband feels the same :)
We’ve noticed that when our relationship is healthy this energy is carried out into other things too - our parenting, business etc. it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
There is a saying “don’t just give a person food, instead teach him how to fish so he can feed himself his whole life.”
David, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for teaching us how to fish and care for our marriage in the way Hashem intended. 🙏 ❤️ 🤗"

"When I first started working with Da-vid, I thought his focus would be on helping my husband and improving our relationship—and he did just that. However, what I didn’t anticipate was how much I would learn about myself and how much personal growth I would experience. Over time, I’ve made significant progress both within myself and in my marriage, allowing me to show up as a better, more grounded version of myself for my partner and our relationship. Thanks to the skills Da-vid taught me, I can now approach situations with greater calm and rationality. My husband and I now work together on these skills, especially when having difficult conversations. This helps us stay calm and focused on truly listening to each other, rather than just trying to make our own points."
Stephanie from Texas
"Hey Da-vid, I just wanted to come back and say THANK YOU so much for the coaching. I had never experienced such a profound shift in just one session as I did in our discovery call, and each session got me moving in a different way. I am still doing the breathwork you recommended and I love it even with all of the crazy things that have happened in my life in the past few weeks I still am moving forward. You really do have a knack for deep coaching and provide such a safe space for whatever comes up. Thanks again for an amazing journey! 🙏🏻"
