As a marriage and family therapist in private practice since 1975, Darlene's interests include the mind-body connection. In 1989, at age 61, Darlene began exploring the idea of moving beyond societal limitations placed on seniors by challenging herself to enter a triathlon. Since then, through training, self-awareness and imagery, Darlene has completed 40 races and has achieved a California national age group ranking of first in 1996 and 1997.
Darlene would be delighted to speak with interested groups or individuals regarding the body-mind connection and ways of breaking through "old tapes" that stop us from taking risks and moving beyond the comfort zone. Darlene is also in the process of starting a cycling club for senior adults.
