Hello, I’m Darby. A mother, somatic coach, SSP practitioner, nervous system expert, speaker, and reiki master.
You deserve a life grounded in connection, regulation, joy and safety. Join me and thousands of others who are taking their power back through somatic therapy and nervous system work.
Here I combine all of my knowledge of the body, brain, spirituality, self development and trauma to help you thrive no matter what life throws at you.
The state of your nervous system informs your story. If you’re unhappy with your story, update the system that’s writing it.
At the root of your exhaustion, lack of motivation, poor food choices, addictions, or depression is not a bad, lazy or careless person. It’s a dysregulated nervous system that needs support.
The body remembers what the mind may not. In my practice, we work with your body, bones and nervous system to build better regulation, find safety in the body again and release trapped traumas that continue to perpetuate stories we are ready to outgrow.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“I used to not be able to work without fully going into an activated stress state, which was making me sick all the time. I’m way more aware of what my body feels like going into this state, and can usually use this awareness to calm down. Before this, I was in a difficult place in my relationships because of a few traumas. Overall I feel more aware and better equipped. I was also in a state of being disconnected from myself, which was really really hard and this work helped me start to feel safe in my own body again.” - Shannon T.
“I can't believe how much more calm and relaxed I feel. It's given me the opportunity to be the rock for my family that I want to be. I'm excited to continue the program with my son.” - Alexis K.
“Hi Darby, I’ve referred at least 3 people to you! I just love your program. I am going to enroll my sister and niece in your January program - I think the program could change her life.” - Whitney V.

My Story
For years, I was stuck in a chronic state of fight or flight. On the outside, I had everything a woman is supposed to want. A flashy startup, home near the ocean, a handsome husband and successful business.
But on the inside, I felt anxious, frantic, exhausted, overwhelmed, and depressed. I used wine and food to help me cope, my hair started falling out, rosacea plagued my face, and I wasn’t sleeping through the night. I could feel my body fill with cortisol and adrenaline at even the smallest stressor.
I had a chronically dysregulated nervous system.
Your body is wise and your symptoms are its teachers
I was tired of living with different low self worth stories looping in my head. Talk therapy helped, but my body was never included in the conversation despite it being plagued with symptoms.
I felt like I was stuck in survival mode and couldn’t get out.
That was until I realized, retelling my story over and over again wasn’t actually rooting out my trauma. I needed to deeply reset my nervous system enough to feel safe in my body again.
With safety comes connection and with connection comes healing. Insert: The SSP and Somatic practices.
Here is what clients are saying about working with me:
“I am calmer, my husband even noticed a difference. I am happier and it opened up a creative side of my brain that has been closed for many years. I finally got the confidence to start an online wellness platform which I have been going back and forth about starting for many years!
- Caroline C.
"Definitely a sense of calm and way less reactive. I almost feel like before doing the program I couldn't handle multiple things going on at once (e.g. I am cooking dinner and my kids are yelling at each other in the living room) but now I just don't feel so pulled by distractions. I have been sleeping really well and probably could sleep more if my little rascals would let me. I do just feel a lightness and enthusiasm that is new and really aligning nicely with spring and sun and warmth. I really do feel a difference and am very grateful!"
- Carly W.
“I wanted to work with Darby because she is gentle and patient but, more importantly, had a deep understanding of the brain, emotion and vagus connection.”
- Whitney V.
“I have told everyone and anyone that will listen that this therapy allowed my daughter to integrate skills she had tried to learn in therapy, and it was life changing."
- Chelsea W.
