Spark of Aliveness
Hi, I'm Darcy Skye, an expert on passion and purpose and the founder of Spark of Aliveness.
If you're here to grow, expand, uplevel and make the dreams in your heart you're lived reality, you're in the right place! My world is where you apply new ideas and illuminations that transform your relationship with yourself and open you to create at your highest level.

This is about creating from an embodied, felt place, where you light up and feel most alive.

'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.'
Le'Ann Duran, Senior Director
Blue Meridian Partners
New York, NY
'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!'

​Training & Experience
Living a life committed to growth, my insight and fire-hot passion for doing this work are my most compelling credentials, but I also have institutional ones.
-
I have a bachelor's degree in Ecology from the University of Michigan (I feel a deep connection with nature).
-
I have a Master's degree in Education, also from U of M (I'm good at teaching and breaking down big concepts into understandable pieces).
-
I'm certified with Coach Training Alliance and studied with several other coaching schools (I can be with people in their process and seeing precisely what they need to move forward).
-
I have an Energy Medicine Practitioner certificate from a 3-year healer school (Rhys Thomas Institute) where I learned from master teachers how to provide soul-level healing.
-
I became a Reiki Master studying with Lisa Campion so I can channel universal life energy in the form of love.
-
I worked for a prominent Career Coach and a Soul-based Entrepreneur Coach.
-
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.' I welcome you to this experience. I'm 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.
