Darci's Dharma

         Dharma is a Sanskrit term which means work, although it is more than simply work. Dharma in this way refers to our work in the world, the gifts we are here to offer and share with the world.  When we are in our dharma, there is a way that we are aligned with the universe, since we are doing what we are here to do.  A great Yoga teacher, Rama Jyoti Vernon, says that we know we are doing our dharma if we move to some far away place (and don't leave a forwarding number), then people seek us out to do the same work we were doing before, that is when we know we are in dharma.

          Darci's Dharma is to help people be in their bodies and live healthy and happy lives.  "I do this using my; skills as a spa owner, working with my staff, who share their own gifts and talents, training them in Ayurveda treatments, helping them to hone and refine their skills to serve as a community, offering workshops, retreats, consulting with Spas, facilitating Pancha Karma and of course, doing my own inner work.

About private sessions with Darci:

Darci's menu of services.

• transformational body work

• meditation lessons

• private yoga lessons

            I bring my years of training and experience in yoga, many modalities of Massage Therapy, Ayurveda and Pancha Karma to each session.  Paying close attention to what each individual is expressing (with words and their body). One of my gifts is a sort of 'body whisperer', I just know what is going on inside, what makes people tick, and how to help them regain a sense of wholeness. Some people call that a medical intuitive, I don't use that phrase because of the medical connotation. I do believe 'western medicine' has a valuable place, and I am not a doctor. I am an Ayurveda practitioner. Please check with your physician before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Are you ready? We want your inner 'yes'.            

             Over the years I have noticed that I work best with people who are ready to make changes.   With great respect to all people (including myself) and to save our time and energy, please check inside and wait for your inner 'yes' to make sure you are ready. Also, I encourage you to do your 'due diligence' read about me here on the website, ask questions, so you feel comfortable with me before we work together. Our ancient Ayurveda texts talk about the importance of having trust (to yield respectfully in judgment or opinion) to the suggestions your Ayurveda practitioner (me) may make. We actually would work as partners in your healing process and self care. That way we can have the optimum fertile ground for the magic that happens during our work together. And you can then make the required changes toward your greater wholeness with alacrity (cheerful readiness, promptness and or willingness). 

             I am available, and happy to serve you, by appointment for the aforementioned sessions as well as guiding you through Pancha Karma retreats and other wellness retreats. Please see our menu of services for cost information and call us to schedule your appointment.  Or, you can email me personally with questions or comments at: HanaleiDaySpa@gmail.com

     "I have known Darci over a period of 10 years. I always enjoyed adjusting Darci. I considered her to be an essential practice member (when she lived/practiced in Miami) and I appreciate her for her refined physiology and ability to reach high levels of care.
       Darci has been an accomplished yoga teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner, seminar/workshop leader and body worker.  The most outstanding quality for me is her high level of integrity and commitment to growth and development.
       In my opinion, Darci takes good care of herself, she is responsible in that she listens and follows her inner wisdom and teaches others how to do the same."

For anyone considering pancha karma, I highly recommend Darci Frankel at the Ayurvedic Center.  I was a little nervous about what pancha karma would be like, but Darci was so patient and helpful in explaining everything to me and making me feel comfortable.  She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Ayurveda, and she is able to explain things in an understandable way.  The oil massage was something I looked forward to each day – lots of warm oil and two people doing synchronized massage felt absolutely wonderful!  Darci was so thoughtful and considerate during my pancha karma.  One day she even surprised me with fresh coconut juice (in the shell!) to help cool me down during my time in the steam box.  I feel my pancha karma experience was a success, and the benefits continued to manifest for about 6 weeks after I returned home.  I now feel so much better, physically and mentally, than I did before pancha karma. I look forward to visiting Darci again in the future!
