Spark of Aliveness
You got the call? I get it, I got it too.
It's that feeling, like a knowing. Maybe it came in as words or an unshakeable yes that resonated through all of you. It may make perfect sense or be utterly confusing. It may have landed like a lightning bolt when you were a kid, came softly last month in a quiet moment or in one of total chaos and confusion. It pulls on your desire and it's something you want, deeply. It feels like it's become a drumbeat in your life and you can't fully explain it.
It's something you need to be, do, create, accomplish, put all of yourself into the attempt of. You've played with it, danced with it, researched it, maybe even been working on it diligently for years.
It's a call to create.
These calls can be about your life purpose, the message you're here to share and the impact you'll have. They can call you to start businesses, write, create art and beauty, go against the traditional paths and find your own way. They can be about family, getting pregnant, meeting your partner, the relationship you have with your kids and how you shepherd them through their childhood. They can be confusing and sometimes you know they're there but you don't really know what they're saying.
I know a good deal about them. I've been receiving and responding to mine since I was a kid. I had no prior training or understanding in them. No one said, "oh yeah Darcy, you just got a call, here's what you do with it."
I'm not a high-powered spiritual guru type AT ALL. I'm a grew-up-working-on-a-farm-outside-of-Flint, MI type, who's been figuring this stuff out from scratch.
I've been frustrated, confused, joyous and blissful in this experience. It's been trial and error and I've experimented in a million ways. I've learned to trust myself in what I hear and receive and how I respond, and I am in daily connection with what I call my Spark of Aliveness, which is our guidance system (which we all have). I've built my business based on my own calls to create, grown my family in my own intuitive way, and created an amazing life following what I've learned. And more than it being an amazing life, it's MY life. The life I feel is mine to live.
AND a huge piece of this is I've learned how to be with other people in their calls to create and help them make heads or tails of them, connect with their guidance system (Spark of Aliveness), which helps them understand their callings and take the next steps to make them happen. I've gotten excellent training and I've applied everything I've learned to my own life to test it out.
You've come to a place where your experimentation and aliveness in hearing and responding to your calls is supported, celebrated and you're offered guidance in it.
One of my gifts is I take fancy cosmic stuff and bring it down into the everyday so you can make it real. It takes the far-out spiritual and brings it to earth, literally. A client told me 'You work very quickly, you put things together I've struggled with for a long time in a way that feels magical.' That's what I do and what I'm very good at.
Let me formally introduce myself: I’m Darcy Skye, coach, energy healer and teacher. I've been doing this work with clients for over 15 years.
Through this work clients have created incredible things in so many different categories of their lives. I include real-life examples below. If you are excited and called to work with your desires in a supported and well-held way, reach out! I would love to talk with you!
Take a quick read through these examples of people I've worked with. You'll see there's a real diversity in where people are called and what we work on. This isn't about total clarity in your call or about a specific thing it says. This is about the fact that you feel a strong desire to accomplish something and you like the idea that getting deeply in touch with yourself and your gifts will help you access the power to create what is calling to you. That's what we work with here. See what these examples stir in you:
-
Jonathan came frustrated that so much of his incredible work ethic was going towards work that felt 'wrong'. He felt a call to do work that really mattered and makes a positive impact. We worked together piece-by-piece on where he was called to put his effort, creativity, passion and enthusiasm. He worked with a baby idea of building a business and saw it through step-by-step, putting in incredible time, energy and attention. He's seen this dream through and now runs a 7-figure business that is built on principles of care and working hard towards something meaningful and impactful.
-
Meredith came with this sense that she was meant to find a love partner and have a family one day but the process of meeting someone was very disheartening. She was dating and her friends all knew she was single and looking but no one she met had felt like a good fit. Meredith and I worked together on her dream and she got very much in touch with herself, what she loves, who she is and what lights her up. During this process where we were paying attention to dating but also not putting too harsh a spotlight on it, she met Matthew. She was intrigued she was open to dating him, he was different than other people she'd dated. Step-by-step they got to know each other and Meredith was intrigued by the process and what unfolded for her each step of the way. She remained open to Matthew but more importantly, herself, in the process. She had a space to be in her heart more, where she had traditionally been more in her head, and some surprising and exciting things unfolded for her there as she opened in this way. You can guess what happens next. Meredith and Matthew fell in love. They are now married with 3 children. And that is beautiful. What is also beautiful is that Meredith knows herself more now. Not just who she is as a great mental thinker, but also who she is in her heart, and this is very meaningful for her life with Matthew but also in her life as a parent to her children and a creator in her life.
I'm so curious what stirs in you as you hear these true stories? Do you want to connect and talk about your callings and how I might help? Reach out, let’s do a zoom coffee!

'Darcy saved my life. I was lost on a soulless journey and Darcy rescued me when I least expected it and when I needed it most.
She understands, she listens, she advises, she teaches, she supports. She’s creative, she’s real, she’s humble, she’s positive, she gets it and she’s fully in it with you.
From personal to professional and everything in between Darcy has been with me for the last 6 years and I don’t know where I’d be without her. I’m tearing up even as I write this. Thank you for everything, Darcy. I’d be happy to chat with anyone considering working with her.'
'The last several months I’ve been in my head with small business and family worries. I knew it was time for a change.
I’ve never had a therapist or life coach before, but a friend of mine recommended Darcy. I was skeptical, not sure if we’d be a good fit, if she’d understand where I was coming from, or handle my scattered thoughts.
Darcy proved to be the best listener, a trusted confidant. I felt her energy and sincere, caring demeanor through the phone. I’ve looked forward to every call since as a reset in my week.
Darcy is professional, empathetic, and impactful. Every meeting with Darcy is an investment in my well being, career, and my business. I could not recommend her more.'

'Darcy changed the entire trajectory of my life.
Her technical knowledge, wisdom and encouragement allowed me to achieve a purpose-driven life. She is so real and there's nothing about Darcy you can't trust.'

'I am incredibly grateful for Darcy and her techniques!
As a senior in college, I've struggled with anxiety, the pressure to maintain a high GPA, and the fear of failure. My recent classes triggered a lot of self-doubt and fear that I wasn't good enough.
Darcy has provided me with practical tools and strategies that have eased my anxiety and made everyday life more positive and manageable. Whether it's guiding me to create positive mantras, offering mental exercises to calm my mind, or helping me explore my feelings to uncover their deeper meaning, Darcy has been instrumental in managing my stress.
Talking to her feels like confiding in a close, caring family member- someone who's supportive, accepting, and genuinely willing to help me work through my challenges. Her flexibiliy, check-ins, and availability to meet regularly have made such a positive impact on my journey!'

I've studied Starhawk's work and earth-based spirituality for many years, grew up in the Catholic faith and have studied Buddhism and Hinduism.
I've been working with clients privately and in groups since 2008. I ran a Mystery School in Brooklyn, NY, have taught workshops around the country and coached hundreds of brave folks around the world. My clients are students, entrepreneurs (just starting out and with multi-million dollar revenues) artists, teachers, healers, coaches, parents and all who talk to a friend who says, 'you know, there's this chick you really need to speak to.' People often feel called to this work and I honor that. I welcome you to this experience. So glad you're here!
EQUITY STATEMENT I do this work as a cis-gendered white woman, settler to the ancestral home of the Anishinaabe or Michigan. I am examining my identities, privileges, places of colonial mindset and with lots to continually learn. My work attempts to create brave spaces where people of all identities feel they have the space to show up fully and be well supported. The learning containers I facilitate welcome all identities and my commitment is to show up in integrity and continual learning.
