Life Coaching with Darcy
With decades of experience in the healing and fitness industry, my work as a Life Coach offers clients a supportive space to gain insight, reconnect with their strengths, and redefine what truly matters. I help people move through blocks, navigate transitions, and create meaningful change so they can step forward with greater confidence, clarity, and renewed energy.
I am continually inspired by the transformation that happens when people reconnect with what matters most to them. Coaching can provide the perspective and encouragement needed to move toward a life of greater purpose, balance, and fulfillment. Every path is unique, and lasting change often begins with the courage to seek support. I am here to help you redefine success from where you are today and begin your next chapter on your own terms and timing.

My approach is both refined and personalized, using a range of Pilates apparatus and props. Each private session is thoughtfully designed to align with my clients’ individual goals, with a focus on core strength, breath, alignment, and body awareness.
Testimonials
Working with Darcy was truly magical. Her mindfulness coaching helped me gently move past the resistance I had in creating a consistent space for myself to connect with mindfulness practices. It wasn’t just about building a habit—it became a spiritual journey that brought me deeper into myself. Darcy’s grounded, compassionate approach created a space where I felt supported, seen, and inspired to embrace mindfulness as a meaningful part of my daily life. This experience has been transformative, not just in practice, but in how I show up for myself.

Darcy Elman is an extremely talented Transitions Coach. After a long career as a CEO, I developed clarity in approaching my next chapter.
She did a nice job leveraging mindfulness and helping me tap into feelings.
The combination of mindfulness exercises and inquisitive questions offered a deeper understanding and insight into how I wanted to design this new chapter I was embarking on. Coaching with Darcy was an extremely effective affirmation as I was navigating this transition away from the corporate work I had been doing. She taps into her head and heart, which is a powerful process. I would highly recommend her.Jeff Tar
Coaching with Darcy was instrumental in helping me move beyond old patterns and create lasting change in a positive direction. Before working with her, I was stuck in a cycle of self-limiting beliefs. Darcy was like a strategic thinking partner, she challenged me at just the right level, always with insight and care. I highly recommend Darcy to anyone who wants to unlock more of their potential and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Darcy Elman
My story begins with my love of self-discovery. I have always had a love for adventure and travel.
My career as a professional dancer led to business as a Yoga and pilates trainer, Visionary Cranial Sacral Therapy, and The Alexander Technique. After decades of working with people, I dropped into deeper somatic work, eventually opening Blue Iris Studio in Palo Alto. My transition began ten years ago when I became curious about homes and sales.
My last ten years as a real estate agent were a personal challenge surrounding my curiosity about finance and trading. Each career was a stepping stone, and we gathered our wisdom to offer it back to the world. Coaching has been an organic, natural path from all my life experience.
