Conversations With a Wounded Healer 288 - David Allen, Part 2 - The Beautiful Process of Really Hearing What People Want
David Allen is quietly and thoroughly advancing the notion of masculinity into a new era. He’s a tattoo artist working with post-mastectomy clients in Chicago. David is also a father who, despite his childhood wounds, has devoted himself to raising emotionally intelligent kids. It’s a path informed by his work with cancer patients, his ancestral lineage, and his commitment to therapy.
If you missed the first half of our conversation, go back one episode where you’ll learn about David’s artistry and quest for self-awareness.
GUEST BIODavid Allen is a Chicago-based tattoo artist known for his bespoke floral designs that transform mastectomy scars into powerful expressions of healing and renewal. With a deep respect for each client’s voice and story, David approaches tattooing as a collaborative process — one that centers agency, artistry, and emotional care. His work is rooted in compassion, intention, and connection.

1:1 With Sarah
Wounded healers need supervision too. Sarah is passionate about fostering therapists’ personal and professional growth through mentoring, supervision, and consultation.
Mentoring options are available for therapists who are looking for a transformative supervision experience and practice owners who are looking for customized support.
Supervision not only plays a crucial role in the professional development and ethical practice of therapists, but also provides parallel process for our own healing.
In consultations, Sarah helps practice owners align their business with their lifestyle goals. Together, we'll look at both the concrete business practices as well as the emotional stuff that complicates business ownership.
