ARIANA Darnall

Ariana is a graduate from Temple University where she earned her degree in therapeutic recreation. As a recreational therapist, Ariana supported children and young adults with disabilities to gain skills towards independence. She found immense value in fostering a deep level of trust with clients and respective families. It’s clear that crucial components of Ariana’s career have been communication and navigation of challenging situations.

After a few years of practicing at different facilities, Ariana found the next step of her journey to be at The Animal Soul with her family. Understanding the sacred work that The Animal Soul does, she wanted to utilize her strengths in a different, yet important, capacity.

Ariana loves traveling with her husband, Craig, and exploring the natural beauties this planet has to offer. She especially loves going on hikes, bird-watching, and snuggling with her dog Arwen. Nothing is more relaxing to Ariana than tending her garden and sharing the spoils with her friends and family.
