“Stacy is a gifted healer. During her treatments I feel that I am being attended to on a deep level. The way in which she holds space for the sacred quality of the session creates an atmosphere in which I am able to trust and feel held. This is the space where true healing happens.”

Stacy Darby LAc, LMT
Stacy Darby, LAc, LMT, is a healer, skillful listener, and lifelong student of the body’s innate intelligence. Her work is rooted in the understanding that healing is not something imposed from the outside, but a natural process that unfolds when the body is met with safety, presence, and respect. Through gentle, attuned touch and deep listening, Stacy creates a space where the nervous system can soften and the deeper currents of healing can emerge.
With over twenty years of experience in the healing arts, her practice includes acupuncture, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Reiki, and somatic bodywork. Stacy weaves ancient medical traditions with intuitive, relational care. Her path into East Asian Medicine grew organically from hands-on healing and a profound resonance with the Chinese medical view of life as an interconnected web—where body, mind, spirit, and the natural world continuously influence one another.
Stacy’s approach is shaped not only by extensive training and licensure, but by her own ongoing journey of healing, spiritual practice, and self-inquiry. She honors the body as a living, responsive system and trusts its capacity to guide the work when met with patience and compassion. Sessions are collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced according to each person’s unique needs, rhythms, and inner timing.
Stacy serves has long been devoted to supporting people during times of transition, vulnerability, and deep change. She also assists in the teaching of biodynamic craniosacral therapy and facilitates workshops, sharing a lineage of touch that is both subtle and profoundly transformative.
Above all, Stacy’s work is an invitation—to slow down, to listen inward, and to reconnect with the quiet wisdom that already lives within.
My path has brought me to teachers who have shared with me core concepts and foundational practices that aide in the embodiment of person-hood and the reclaiming of personal space which allows for an experience of knowing your place in relationship with the intelligence that moves through each of us - This is PRESENCE.
Philosophy
Making contact with the body is also an act of touching the mind and spirit.
We are engaging in a conversation with the lived story of Soul when we listen with the compassionate presence of heart and hands. The story that is contained in each atom and cell that composes the physical form, holds within it a history of experience.
The body remembers what the mind is able to forget.
The stories that we carry within us are written by our experience of life. Influenced by familial, cultural, societal and ancestral inheritance, the inherited conditioning’s and patterns created impact our experience of ourselves and our perceptions of reality.
From the most dense to the subtlest form, all-that-is contains a living expression of consciousness.
When engaging with the body-mind, with present awareness and allowance for what is, we are able to assist the process of transformation within oneself. Doing so, the experience of Life begins to change. What was once a ‘pain’ becomes an integrated part of ourselves, an accepted part of our lived story. As a result, Life is enhanced.
Life is a process. Healing is an expression of Life.
Our bodies and beings are expressions of Nature. Within Nature is an innate force of healing that supports the evolutionary process that is continuously underway.
Sickness, suffering, pain and death are all expressions of the human condition, of human nature and life on earth. These expressions of life can act as our greatest teachers or our worst enemies- depending on the perspectives held in relationship to these life expressions.
Connection is Key.
When we disconnect from life experiences as a means of self preservation we also disconnect from aspects of ourselves and of Nature. Healing is a process of returning to a unified, connected and embodied Self. A return to integrity of self invites the wholeness of being to return to its rightful place in relationship with Nature.
