About David Stojanović
Transforming Lives Through Energy & Empathy
I grew up in a gifted family in Amsterdam, sensing energy deeply—feeling, seeing, and hearing things beyond explanation. Yet, for years, I struggled to understand my path.
Some people are born with a clear sense of purpose. For me, it took time, challenges, and deep self-discovery to fully embrace what had always been within me.
From Struggle to Strength
Escaping My Gift
As a young man, I did everything I could to numb my abilities—turning to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
I didn’t want to feel what I felt. I just wanted to be normal. To fit in.
I thought suppressing my energy would make life easier. Instead, it created a deep disconnect from my true self.

A Gift Revealed in Childhood
From a young age, around five years old, I remember lying on the floor in front of the television with my sister, watching cartoons. I felt a pain around my belly button, a heat in my hands, and a vibration I couldn’t explain. Instinctively, I placed my hands on my belly, and the pain faded away.
At that moment, I also saw a man standing in the doorway. I looked around, expecting someone else to react—but no one did. Throughout my childhood, I saw entities come and go. They mostly appeared at my sides or behind me, and I experienced their presence as a form of protection from dangers around me.
Encounters with the Unknown
Twice in my life, my heart stopped beating, and CPR was performed on me to bring me back.
I also had another close brush with death during an internship in construction. I was alone on the seventh floor, working on loosening a façade element. Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell toward an open window frame. Just as I was about to fall, a man grabbed me and pulled me back inside.
“Watch out,” he said. “I can’t always be here to help you.”
I turned to him, confused. He told me he was from another company, working one floor below, and had come up looking for something. I asked him where he was going next. He simply said, “Down, back to work.”
I turned for a moment to grab my coat so I could walk with him, but when I turned back—he was gone.
I ran to the stairwell, where two people were coming up. I asked if they had seen the man, but they hadn’t seen anyone.
A Guardian Through the Years
In that moment, I remembered my past. When I was around eight years old and again at fourteen, someone had pulled me off the road just before a car could hit me.
Over the years, I’ve experienced several moments where I was saved from danger, always by someone who seemed to appear out of nowhere. Years later, I finally understood who this man was—the same one I saw in the doorway as a child. The same presence that had been watching over me my whole life.
Breaking Free in 2011
One night changed everything.
After years of pushing myself further into an illusion of control, I reached a turning point. That night, I made a decision—no more drugs. No more escape.
That moment marked the beginning of reclaiming my life, my energy, and my true nature.
Awakening in 2015
I thought I had healed, but a severe burnout in 2015 forced me to take care of myself in a way I never had before. It became clear that the work I was doing wasn’t for me, and it was taking a toll on my body and mind. So I walked away.
I left my job and focused on meditation and yoga—practices I had dabbled in before but never fully prioritized.
During this period of self-discovery, a friend suggested I take a Jikiden Reiki workshop. At the time, I had no idea what Reiki was. But I was insecure about what I actually did with my hands. I had always felt energy, but I wanted to understand it—to make sense of why I could see and feel things others didn’t.
The workshop gave me clarity. In Reiki, practitioners are taught to give energy, never take. But my teacher, Frank Arjava Peter, told me something that changed everything:
“If you’ve known since childhood that you can give and take energy, then that is your way to do it.”
That moment validated what I had always felt deep inside. I realized I wasn’t meant to follow any structured system—I had my own way.
Jikiden Reiki was just a stepping stone. Unlike Reiki, I don’t use symbols, and I don’t only give. I take and give. I extract what no longer serves—the pain, the problems, the old energy—and release it in my own way.
What is my way? That is only for me to know.
A Deeper Turning Point: Accepting My Body & My Purpose
My burnout was deeply connected to a realization—I had to accept myself fully, including the things I could not change.
People sometimes ask me, “Why don’t you heal this? Why don’t you work on changing it?”
If I had spent my energy trying to change this part of me, my life would have taken a different path. But I believe my gift exists for a reason. I was meant to be in service to others—to help humanity heal and raise its vibration.
Suppressing who I truly was had only caused more health issues, a short temper, and restlessness. But when I started accepting my abilities, my body and mind changed.
I became healthier. My skin became brighter, younger. I had fewer health issues.
This is what happens when people suppress their true selves—they push away their energy, and when they do, that energy eventually turns against them.
Why I Named It Metta Healing?
For most of my life, when people asked me what they felt when I touched them, I would simply say,
“You feel my love.”
I touched people in a friendly, natural way, without fully understanding the depth of what I was doing. At that time, I wasn’t consciously working with energy—I was simply following what felt right.
But in 2015, I realized that this love wasn’t just for those close to me—it was for everyone.
When I arrived in Thailand and did a Vipassana meditation retreat, I experienced Metta on a universal level.
Metta, as it is said in Pali, is the purest form of unconditional love and kindness.
It was the best way to describe my way of love—a love that is not personal, not selective, not romantic, but pure and universal.
That is why, in 2017, I named it Metta Healing.
Because love alone was not the right word.
Love can be misunderstood—interpreted as passion, intimacy, or emotional attachment. But what I offer is not personal love. It is universal healing.
Some people describe it as “the touch of God.”
Let me be clear: There is zero sexuality in my healing.
I do not touch the genitals or chest. My love for those I work with is different from the intimate love I share with my partner.
I love all people. I wish the best for all. But intimacy belongs only to those closest to me.
Metta Healing is not about physical love—it is about restoring balance, connection, and deep healing.
