​Another tool was sharing with me small ways to bring back exercise to my daily life -even in the time between when my coffee is brewing and the time I write in the morning. Setting weekly goals helps me feel grounded and that I can accomplish things even if I feel no accomplishment in any other area of my life.

I am truly blessed to have been able to do this work and to have Darcie be there with me. She is a wonderful guide."

What I had not imagined was how long this process would take and how there would be progress and setbacks. Darcie’s presence throughout this work provided a perspective of where I started and how far I had come.

Darcie was kind and gentle, but also challenged me when I needed it. The best part of having this relationship over months was that Darcie kept track of things that I said and used them to help me remember why I wanted to heal and move forward.

I’ve had so many benefits, it will be impossible to list them! I would say that I achieved an ability to reflect; to consider how I am feeling and how I want to be feeling and then take steps toward how I want to be feeling; to listen to music; to understand some of the physiology behind why a marriage can become strained in stressful times and how men and women manage stress differently; to know that I have accomplished many great things in my job and that it’s okay to be ready to leave that job behind; and that I have a powerful medicine to offer!...

I believe Darcie has the ability to coach anyone! Her particular strengths are in the areas of managing emotions around parenting and partnering; regaining health despite auto-immune genetics; and holding space for the individual (inside a group and 1:1) as the stories emerge and the work takes shape. Darcie has a vast support network and has referred me a couple of times to others who will be better able to help me with a particular issue. This is so valuable."

Darcie helped me to set goals for actions that would help me come to terms with my concerns. She had a lovely and positive way of clarifying my statements in a way that made it easy to make steps forward. I feel like the sessions helped me be more confident in myself and gave me tools to work on decreasing my anxiety and addressing my needs.

She was easy to interact with and I liked that she paused to consider what I had just said before responding. I felt like she was really listening to what I was saying. It was a new concept that I could give myself permission to let go of insecurities and Darcie had a way of making a direction forward appear out of my somewhat chaotic ideas. She was good at restating and summarizing, without making it seem overly obvious.

I thought this was a valuable process and would recommend the program to anyone who is struggling to adjust to difficult and uncharted situations."
