Darja was born and grew up in Ljubljana. Despite the fact that the she grew up in a city, she spent a lot of time with her grandmother at the countryside where she established a special relationship with animals. Despite she was still a child she discovered that unwanted animal behavior usually starts with human’s inappropriate handling of an animal.
When Darja completed her study, she worked as an ICU nurse in the Medical Centre in Ljubljana. During the twelve years of working in health care, she never forgot her love of animals and nature. She spent every spare hour she had with her dog Grom on long walks along the river or hiking in the hills.
When Darja met Andrej she immediately picked up his love for a very special kind of animals - horses. So they joined forces and began to manage Ranch Kaja & Grom. They met Linda Tellington-Jones in the beginning stages of their work and while paving not so easy way in the Slovenian horsemanship world. Due to the philosophy they shared, Linda gave their work a special meaning and drive they needed.
When Darja witnessed effects of the method, she was determined to bring Tellington TTouch® Method to Slovenia.
In 1994, Darja started to teach the method to children. This gave her a very special experience and so she developed her invigorating approach to adult teaching.
In 1997, Darja organized the first 4-day seminar with instructor Bea Borelli in Slovenia. Later on, she also organized several seminars in Slovenia with Linda Tellington-Jones herself.
Darja also participated and assisted at several seminars all over the world in all these years. She put a lot of effort and energy in the recognition of TTouch® not only in Slovenia, but also in Balkan countries (Croatia, Bosnia…). She was also main initiator and coordinator for translation and publication of three Tellington TTouch® Method books into Slovenian language.
All the effort that Darja invested in the development of Tellington TTouch® Method in our country paid off in 2007, when she received the certificate for Tellington TTouch® Practitioner 1 for horses. In 2009, she also received two other certificates - Tellington TTouch® Practitioner 1 for dogs and other animals and Tellington TTouch® Practitioner for people.
In 2008, Darja was awarded with honorary title Tellington Method Center® Slovenia for her Ranch Kaja & Grom center.
In 2011, Darja had upgraded her knowledge and finished three-year study of Energy Osteopathy for horses.
