Dara's Approach
Working with dogs has not only heightened Dara's sensitivity in working with people but has continued to teach her the importance of listening and how to listen.
​
Her background with energy work, Massage Therapy, several movement modalities, and artistic outlets, aids in the ability to relate and work with dogs.
This is not to say that it is our furry friends who teach and help us learn patience and provide comfort, among other life long skills.

Get Started
Over 10 years of career building practices in Chicago, Dara's accolades include licenses and certifications in massage therapy, pilates and yoga.
