Dr. Darsa's Philosophy

Trauma creates a disconnect inside of a person, separating them from their body, emotions, mind, friends, family, and spirituality. Trauma disconnects you from your whole well-being, but healing comes from reconnecting.

Dr. Darsa improves clinicians’ quality of care by teaching them her proven body-mind approach of reconnecting people to their whole selves.

Dr. Darsa’s method can treat trauma at its roots by focusing on how our bodies and minds work together. She emphasizes a focus on the present to overcome traumas of the past.
