"I went to Darcie at the beginning of my second pregnancy as I was having really bad lower back pain that was caused from caring for my previous baby. My next baby is due in a few weeks and I am back pain free. She is a lifesaver. When I started with her I could barely bend over and pick anything up and now I have virtually no pain. She is super knowledgeable and definitely approaches everything holistically. I would 100% recommend her."

"I started seeing Darcie a few months after my son was born. It was my second C-section and I knew I needed help during my recovery. Darcie not only helped me physically but also mentally with her holistic approach. She has helped me with postpartum care as well as previous back and shoulder issues. She is so patient and thoughtful during each session. She really listens to what I have to say and how my body is responding to the treatment plan. She is always available to talk things through if something arises between sessions, or if I have a question about some at-home exercise she has given me. Darcie is so knowledgable and really wants to share that knowledge with her patients. She has taught me so much about my body, and ways to improve it so I can hopefully avoid injuries in the future while still living my active lifestyle. Darcie has such a passion for her craft and I cannot recommend or thank her enough!"

"I found Darcie after the birth of my first daughter. I had excruciating lower back pain that severely limited my ability to care for my newborn, much less live the active adventurous life I had before giving birth and that I desperately hoped to have again. For my first appointment I could not even sit during our conversation. I was discouraged and in so much pain, I was blinking back tears. Over the course of the next few months Darcie helped me reconnect to my deep core, first with just my breath. Her approach to physical therapy focused on using breath and functional movement to reactivate and re-coordinate the muscles in my deep core. She helped me gain mobility and strength. So much so that one day a few months in I confessed to her my goal of hiking rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon (in one day!) to raise funds for brain cancer research. She didn't laugh, she got to work helping me reach that goal. And guess what? A few more months and I did it. From immobile to hiking 26 miles with 10,000 feet of altitude change in just a few months of working with Darcie. Even more importantly, she equipped me with the tools and awareness I need to prevent back pain and injury and to help me live the life I love as an active mother. Darcie is a master of her craft and a wonderful person. I trust her entirely and send everyone I know to her."

"I feel so fortunate to have chosen Darcie to help me recover from a set of injuries I experienced last fall and winter. I injured my hamstring and knee while running and my low back shoveling snow. Darcie has a wonderful holistic approach. She helped me recover from my injuries and also helped me understand why I had been vulnerable to injury in the first place. With her guidance I learned about my areas of strength imbalance and my habitual ways of moving that made me more likely to get hurt. Now I’m completely free of back pain and back to my running routine with confidence that I have the knowledge and tools to prevent future injuries. I highly recommend Darcie’s work and she’s also a very kind and compassionate person!"

"Darcie is fantastic! She is a knowledgeable, caring professional who helped me through a number of issues related to both post-partum care as well as long standing back issues that had never been addressed. She gave me thorough and easy to understand treatment plans with exercises that should be carried over at home. Darcie also made referrals to other practitioners when appropriate. I was feeling much improved and hadn't seen her for over a year when I sustained a running injury. She was readily available to see me for an evaluation, and set me on track for a successful recovery. Darcie's wide breadth of knowledge and commitment to patient success make her stand out as one of the best."
