David Wichman is an award-winning author, Certified Recovery Specialist, private coach, workshop facilitator, and speaker whose work focuses on sex, love, intimacy, recovery, relationships, money, identity, and the patterns that shape our lives.
With more than 18 years of lived experience as a sex worker and adult content creator, along with over 20 years free from active addiction, David brings compassionate honesty, discretion, and understanding to his coaching. He works especially well with people whose lives, work, relationships, or sexuality do not fit neatly into conventional spaces.
David helps clients identify what feels stuck, clarify what they want, and create practical movement without shame or judgment. His coaching is direct, invitational , and grounded in both lived experience and professional training.
He is the author of Every Grain of Sand, winner of the 2024 American Legacy Book Award in LGBTQ+ Nonfiction, and The Four Rooms: An InQueery on Sexual Freedom and Well-Being, a 2026 Gold Winner in the IBPA Book Awards LGBTQIA2+ Communities category. His workshops and speaking engagements invite audiences into honest conversations about sexual well-being, recovery, shame, desire, intimacy, and belonging. His work helps people examine old stories, deepen connection, and move toward greater accountability and purpose.
Life does not always need fixing. Sometimes it needs attention, honesty, structure, and a wider view of what is already waiting to be discovered. Together we can explore relationships, intimacy, recovery, money, purpose, transitions, creativity, desire, and the places where life is asking for a deeper conversation.
Most clients begin weekly and then transition to less frequent sessions as momentum builds.
In-person sessions are offered in Palm Springs, California and are available exclusively to active coaching clients.
These customized 90-minute sessions are built around what is most alive and relevant in the client's life. Sometimes a reflective conversation with a blend of somatic awareness, breathwork, sound bath immersion. We lean into visioning practices, each experience is designed to support clarity, presence, insight, and a deeper connection to what is emerging.
