About

Hi :) My name is Dara and openField somatics is the umbrella I use as a practitioner to encompasses the varying modalities I offer. From my longest lineage of bodywork to the newest evolutions of biodynamic Craniosacral and Somatic Coaching, these are all tools to remember our inherent to connection to ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and the world at large.

I have lived in Berlin since 2012 after moving here from Portland, Oregon. I studied in Toronto ONT at Sutherland Chan University and completed the 2200 HR certification where I specialized in deep tissue massage and trigger point work.

My practice is inclusive, gender affirming, body positive, and lives to uphold the inherent dignity and worth of every human.

openField somatics works to affirm that we are more than the system we live in. We are more than the trauma and grief we carry. We are capable of holding these elements alongside their counterparts of joy and presence. Somatic practice help us retrieve ourselves from a hyper distracted world.
