History
Established in 2016.
Body by Darby began as a small, client-focused wellness practice built on Darby Hanson’s passion for nervous system regulation, therapeutic touch, and holistic healing. After years of study in Cranial Sacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, and massage therapy, Darby created a space where clients could receive individualized, effective care rooted in both skill and compassion. Over time, the practice grew to serve clients of all ages, expanding to include specialized CST/SER for babies 3 months and up. Body by Darby also organically developed into a broader wellness brand, incorporating children’s books, self-care journals, and mindful products that support emotional intelligence and balanced living. Today, Body by Darby continues to evolve while staying grounded in its original mission: providing thoughtful, evidence-informed care that helps people feel better, function better, and live with greater ease.
