Darren discovered the power of bodywork recovering from a severe back injury in 1997.  Advanced bodywork treatments provided him with a pathway to healing and allowed him to avoid surgery.  He has chosen to train in the techniques that have been most effective for him and his clients in restoring health to the whole body.

Darren moved to Vermont from New York City in 2003 with his wife and daughter.
