Known for her genuine care and commitment, her approach is supportive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. She believes that human beings have an innate need to be seen, heard, and connected to others. It can be a helpful process to examine our family of origin and patterns so that we gain insight and understanding. From this insight and understanding, we can move forward, feel in control, and create what we want.

She loves spending time with her husband and child and being active outdoors; they ride their bikes, go on hikes, and love swimming, camping with friends, and traveling. SatDarshan loves designing and creating cozy spaces through landscaping, photography, drawing with her child, and decorating her home. Luckily, her husband is very patient and supports her interior design interests by assisting in rearranging their furniture every six months!
