About Me

Hi, I’m Darian.

I’m a U.S. Masters Swimming Level 3 Certified Coach and Adult Learn-to-Swim Instructor. I work with adults of all experience levels, from people learning to swim for the first time or working through a fear of water, to experienced swimmers looking to improve their technique.

Water has always been a huge part of my life, and I love helping people feel more comfortable and capable in it.

I also bring Reiki and other wellness practices into my work and collaborate with retreats, small groups, and teams looking to incorporate water into their experience.

I work primarily in Chicago, with time in Florida during the winter months, as well as with retreats and clients around the world.

Curious about working together? Send me a message!

Our Services

Private Coaching

Each session meets you where you are, whether you are building foundational skills, refining technique, or learning to feel more at ease…

Group Sessions

Shared water experiences designed for small, curated groups who want to learn, grow, and feel more confident together.

Reiki for Easing Water Fears​

If you’ve ever felt nervous, tense, or even afraid of the water, you’re not alone. For many people, just the thought of getting into a pool can bring up old memories, body tension, or anxiety.

Retreat & Event Facilitation

I partner with retreat leaders and wellness spaces as a guest facilitator, offering guided water based experiences that support grounding, connection, and transformation.
