Somatic (Mind-body) Coaching
Sheryl uses an Internal Family Systems (IFS) or parts-work approach with her clients. IFS is grounded on the idea that our inner world consists of a system made up of various “Parts” (sometimes considered inner children or sub-personalities). In an attempt to protect us from pain, our parts may conflict with each other and act in unhelpful ways learned in the past. Somatic Parts-Work helps us to work with and heal these parts in order to experience greater internal harmony and cohesion.
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki promotes healing and relaxation in the body through the use of Universal Life Energy (Chi). Sheryl is a reiki master, attuned to channel this energy and pass it through to you to help the body to relax and move energy blocks. In times of stress or preemptively, Reiki helps to balance the subtle energy fields (chakras) of the body, which supports clients to enjoy more ease and comfort in their lives. Sheryl is trained in REIKI energy work, designed by Dr. Usui in the early part of the 20th century, based on ancient techniques, effectively used for thousands of years in eastern medicine.
Meditation Instruction and Guidance
Sheryl is versed in multiple meditation techniques. These techniques focus on learning to be present, stilling the mind, and focusing the energy body to facilitate positive change and healing. Her teachings include traditional mindfulness practices, Yoga Nidra guided meditation,, and Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) Exploration - a Study of the Embodied-SELF which expands upon various meditation modalities.
Integrative Rest (yoga nidra) Therapy
Sheryl uses a variety of techniques from several schools of rest including Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra, and IREST which include guided imagery, and body scanning — to aid relaxation. Usually practiced reclining comfortably in savasana posture, Yoga Nidra allows time for the client/practitioner to physiologically and psychologically sink into it—at least 20 to 45 minutes. Most emerge feeling deeply rested and rejuvenated and many times delighted and newly inspired by their inner journey.
Private Trauma Sensitive Yoga for Embodiment
This practice for embodiment is unlike many public yoga classes. It is highly invitational and there are no physical, hands-on adjustments to influence a participant’s physical form. Rather, TCTSY presents opportunities for participants to be in charge of themselves based on a felt sense of their own body. Students connect with the sensations in their bodies, increase feelings of empowerment , rebuild and strengthen relationship to self and others, and remain in the present moment.
