The Path to Long Term Recovery with Daryl Dittmer
Dharma Junkie
After a humble and often tumultuous beginning to his life, Daryl Dittmer has worked relentlessly on himself for almost 40 years. Having hailed from a blue-collar family and upbringing, work-ethic was instilled early and often. Daryl was put to work as a farm hand at an early age, at $1.50 per hour, and learned the immense value of hard work and long days. Since those days, Daryl has been a carpenter, sales professional, business owner, builder, landlord, real estate investor, and consultant. Now, we’re able to add “author” to that list.

info_outlineMax Komes elegantly bridges the gap between the realms of psychotherapy and movement practice.
Originally trained as a healthcare practitioner within the department of oncology, Max became a direct witness to the correlation between unresolved mental health conditions and physical ailments.
This realization led him to the major philosophy that drives his work in the field of mental health: that the source of humanity’s modern malaise is disconnection from our own minds, bodies, communities, planet, and all of Life.
With his extensive training in mental health counseling, martial arts, and yoga, Max provides resources and services that allow individuals to feel a genuine sense of aliveness and reconnection with their mind-body complex and beyond.
Max is now a master's degree student and mental health counseling student intern in Pensacola, Florida.
He is the founder of the wellness platform Clarity Mind & Body, where he offers psychosomatic wellness services such as mental health counseling, mind-body coaching, and basic self-defense training.
