TESTIMONIAL


"I am incredibly grateful to Dave Lanyon. As my teacher he has been very patient with me and yet has held the bar very high for me to continue to grow into my own strength and wisdom with so much grace and foresight. I attribute the success in my life to the training I received from him in large parts. It has helped me tremendously in my relationships, the relationship to myself, to my familly. And also in building my business. The way I experienced his training was so that he never told me what to do but instead held up a presence (of light) that helped me to find the answers to what I needed to shift within myself to be successful.”

TESTIMONIAL

"Dave Lanyon has helped me in multiple ways In my life, but one of biggest impacts to my life that he assisted me with was in regards to my physical body. He showed an amazing amount of care and concern when I was waiting in at over 290 lbs and with utmost love and respect for me he reached out to see how we could make positive changes in my life to resolve the issue. The  first thing he did was helped me to recognize and understand the reality of my life which was that I was fat and overweight, something I had denied for a very long time and through his guidance have lost well over 100 lbs and I'm not only in the best physical shape of my life but I am in the best mental and spiritual shape of my life as well, all because a man who barely knew me cared in a way that not many others had with something that would offer him absolutely no personal gain whatsoever. I am super grateful daily for all of his teachings and guidance.”

— Stephen Pustai,  Longmont, Colorado
