Bodywork
-
I specialize in Deep Relaxation Bodywork Therapy, which draws on a variety of modalities including Deep Flow Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Miofacial Techniques, Cranio Sacral Techniques, Energy Work, Breath Awareness and Mindfulness Approach.
I use my knowledge of the body along with intuitive presence to assist and encourage the body’s natural release of tension and holding patterns.
My intention is to support you in your healing process through active release of physical and emotional stress and to soothe, nourish and regulate the nervous system.
My unique journey with bodywork has been a personal healing endeavor which continues to unfold. Through my dedication to lifelong personal healing I have cultivated a deep healing presence. What I offer is more than simply a massage. I am able to hold space with an empathetic presence and heart centered touch that is a "meditation in motion".

Wellness Coaching

If you “know what you need to do” to feel better in your body and mind but have a hard time sticking with it, welcome. I’m so happy you’re here.
I'm Darcy and I specialize in supporting people in habit change and developing lasting consistent self care. I am a Certified Wellness Coach & Certified Bodywork Therapist with over 15 years of experience.
​
After many years on my own healing path I still struggled with showing up for myself in a consistent way. I was into health and wellness…but I was a dabbler. And although I definitely was learning about myself and learning ways to care for myself that weren't modelled for me as a child, I seemed stuck in old patterns I could not budge. Many of these patterns were rooted in how I thought about myself (on a subconscious level) and no amount of affirmations or positive thinking could shift my lack of self-acceptance and self-compassion.
​
It was when I started applying ancient lifestyle wisdom (buddhist and ayurvedic principles), behavioral science (understanding how the brain works in relation to habits and behavior) AND the support of other people evolving in a similar direction that I began having major breakthroughs. I started caring for myself in a way I had only dreamt of which has allowed me to connect more fully with my purpose in helping people find balance and peace within themselves!
​
Working either 1:1 with folks or in my transformational program Embodied Wisdom (self care support group!) I guide people towards practices that will help regulate the nervous system, strengthen the body and mind and build resiliency inside and out. The focus is always on building awareness and self acceptance/compassion so you can re-learn how to function in these intense and busy modern times.
The world needs awake, resilient, strong and loving people now more than ever! It starts from within. We have to heal ourselves if we hope to heal the world.
We are not built to go it alone. We change/heal easier within a community of people growing and healing in a similar direction.

Testimonials
During my time in the Embodied Wisdom Program I have made so many shifts in how I live! I now make sleep a priority, I have lost weight and notice I am making way more conscious choices around food. I am finally putting myself first and taking care of myself has become a priority, not the bottom of the list.
A bonus is that I find I am spreading and sharing my new found self care tools with clients, family and friends that need it. I eat less sugar, less caffeine and have totally stopped drinking alcohol! The most powerful thing I have noticed is the greater acceptance of myself and treating my body with the respect and care it deserves! Thank you Embodied Wisdom!!
Shannon Beil, Holistic Health Practitioner
"In my 60 years, I’ve had countless massages and I can honestly say that the best ones have come at the hands of Darcy. A great massage opens up the body’s structure so it can heal, and if done by an artist, massage can also touch one’s heart and mind. On her table I am melted flat to the end of all tension … to the end of my breath … taken to that place where a present moment of complete release is all that I’m aware of. And in my chaotic life I’ve come to realize and appreciate that those moments are rare. I’m not sure I deserve them but I’ll take them any chance I can get!!"
Alex C.
I am so grateful to have developed better morning and evening routines. I go to bed earlier most of the time, meditate and journal daily and have a morning ritual of self-massage! I feel more connected to self and am more forgiving and tender with myself. I love Darcy's approach to slow and steady change so that it actually sticks!
Renee Shaw, Elementary School Teacher
Darcy is so intuitive and has such a gentle, kind and loving nature that instantly makes me feel relaxed and safe. She holds no judgment and always encourages me with understanding words and suggestions. The Embodied Wisdom approach to loving your body and changing your mindset is one of the most impactful techniques I have ever tried.
Jen Funnell, Pet Specialist
“I have been seeing Darcy for the past 5+ years and am beyond grateful to be blessed with her magic hands and intuition. As a full-time painter, my body is used as a tool and experiences a great deal of wear and tear. Darcy’s intuitive touch and understanding of my body’s mechanics allows me to continue this extremely laborious job with grace and ease! If you have an opportunity to have her work on you, I highly recommend you do it, and bless yourself with self-care from an amazingly giving therapist!”
Amanda
“I’ve been seeing Darcy for bodywork for almost 3 years and she is incredibly talented. She is the best combination of professional and nurturing and so very skilled. A big gain here on the Coast!”
Jacqueline J.
“I have been seeing Darcy for massage for over a year and I look forward to every appointment. Her treatment space and energy are calming and healing. I have experienced a significant reduction in my back and neck pain and an increase in mobility and healing after my knee surgery.”
Shane H.
"Darcy is the best at what she does, certainly the best I've been too and I’ve had countless massages. I can't recommend her enough."
Ian R.
"Do you want to feel less tense and lighter? Then go see Darcy. Not only does she look at the physical issues but she also takes the emotional side of what’s going on in your body into consideration. I highly recommend her service."
Randi
