Dear Family & Community

Today, I am reaching out to ask for your help and support for someone incredibly precious to so many of us.

Many of you will know and love Dasha through the Inner Guru community, and through the countless lives she has touched over the years through her healing work.

As you can imagine, this has completely turned her world upside down.

Alongside the fear and uncertainty of facing brain surgery, Dasha is now also facing another harsh reality that so many self-employed people quietly experience…

For many years, Dasha has dedicated her life to helping others recover, rebuild, and move forward. As a sports rehabilitation & massage therapist, and valued member of the Inner Guru community, she has supported hundreds of people through injury, chronic pain, surgeries, recovery, physical setbacks, and challenging life circumstances. 

Her work has always been about helping others find hope, strength, and confidence when they feel at their most vulnerable. Through her work, she has helped people regain strength after injury, return to the activities they love, overcome pain that once limited their daily lives, and rebuild confidence in their bodies. She has spent years standing beside others during some of their most difficult moments, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical support throughout their recovery journeys. 

Today, Dasha is facing her own difficult journey, and for the first time, she is the one needing help from the community she has spent years caring for.

After years of working, contributing, supporting others, paying taxes, building her business from the ground up and giving so much of herself in service to people, she is currently unable to access the level of support many assume would be there in times like this. Like many independent practitioners and small business owners, if she cannot physically work, the income stops.

No safety net.

Just the overwhelming pressure of trying to survive whilst preparing for one of the biggest battles of her life.

Right now, Dasha’s entire world has been put on hold.

She now faces surgery and months of recovery, healing, rehabilitation, and time away from the work she loves and the livelihood she has built with her own hands.

I am creating this fundraiser to help relieve some of that burden so Dasha can focus fully on what matters most right now, her health, healing, and recovery.

No matter how big or small your pledge, every donation will be deeply appreciated and will make a genuine difference during this incredibly difficult time.

All donations will go towards helping support Dasha with:

Alongside this fundraiser, we will also be organising community fundraising events over the coming weeks, so please stay tuned in for further information.

If Dasha has ever helped you…

I ask, from the bottom of my heart, that you help us support her now.

Let us come together as community and help carry some of the weight whilst she focuses on healing.

Please donate if you can.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love.

With love,

Carena & the Inner Guru Community
