1-on-1 Sessions
Cheryl provides one-on-one sessions in person and online. Working one-on-one is the most effective way to address your specific needs. Cheryl uses whole-body learning processes to support you to learn in your session and in your life.
Move Freely
$150/session
A Move Freely session helps you identify the movement issues you want to address, set a goal and improve the quality of your movement.
Move Freely sessions are for people age 40-80 who want to actively age with vitality and wisdom. These sessions are ideal for people who are curious, motivated to become or stay physically active and able to commit to regular movement exploration.
*Before your first Move Freely Session, Cheryl asks you to book a free 30 minute online discovery call.

From one – 60 minute session you can expect to:
Gain insights to your patterns of movement
Learn a more effective way to move
Improve your knowledge about how your body works
Feel greater confidence to move
Leave with your personal movement recipe to help you move more freely.
Rather than “fix” your bad body part for a week, e.g. knee, shoulder, neck; I help you to learn how you create movement patterns that might lead you to pain or stiffness and to choose movement options that lead you to move with ease, freedom and, even, delight!
Recovery
Discovery
$150/session
In a Recovery Discovery session, we uncover the movement habits that lead you toward pain and discover more effective movement habits that lead you towards freer, easier movement and away from the risk of re-injury. We will develop your personal recipe of micro-movement choices to improve your mobility and minimize your pain as you recover. At the end of each session you will have practical knowledge on how to support your recovery; greater confidence to move and a better knowledge about how your body works to support a fuller recovery.

Recovery Discovery sessions are for you if you want to get “back to me” following an injury. If you have worked with medical professionals like physiotherapists in your recovery but find you are not back to moving the way you want, I can support you to recover more fully. These sessions are ideal for people who are curious, motivated to be or stay physically active and able to commit to regular movement exploration and observation.
From one – 60 minute session you can expect to:
Gain insights to your patterns of movement that lead you toward pain.
Learn a more effective way to move
Improve your knowledge about how your body works
Gain clarity on how to keep moving while you recover
Feel greater confidence to move
Leave with your personal movement recipe to help you recover more fully
Rather than focus only on your injury, I help you to learn how you create movement patterns that lead you to recover more fully, with confidence and to minimize the potential to re-injure yourself as you recover.
Kind Power
Coaching
$150/session
A Kind Power Coaching session helps you to connect to your personal sense of presence, power and compassion for yourself and for others. We will use movement, voice, breath and somatic coaching to help you feel and be resourced to meet challenges in your life.
*Before your first Kind Power Session, Cheryl asks you to book a free 30 minute online discovery call.

Common Kind Power goals include:
Setting healthy boundaries
Managing anxiety and stress
Managing conflict with others
Feeling more confident
Getting people in my life to hear me
Increasing personal resilience
Kind Power sessions are for you if you find you avoid social situations or conflict with others, feel like your voice is not heard by the people in your life, struggle to set and maintain boundaries and want to find your ability to enter interactions with others with confidence and presence.
From one – 60 minute session you can expect to:
Gain posture and movement patterns that anchor you when life feels overwhelming
Develop practical strategies to manage anxiety and feeling stressed
Practice self-compassion and kindness
Practice strategies to interact with others and manage conflict using kind power
Improve your embodied knowledge of how to show up with a powerful presence
Rather than focus primarily on all of the ways that fear, anxiety and self-guarding reactions arise in your body, thoughts and emotions, I support you to learn and use whole-person resources to treat yourself with compassion and stand in your authentic presence and power.
Seven Movements
Coaching
$50/session

Cheryl uses a consent-guided approach to working with clients, explaining processes before starting them, asking for consent prior to touch. She emphasizes client choice in the session, requesting feedback so we can shape your session together.
Sessions are tailored to your individual goals and needs. Cheryl does not provide protocol-driven treatments; she meets you where you are, using what emerges from the co-discovery process in the session to shape the session.
Online sessions require you to have a device (phone, tablet, computer), Internet. Cheryl typically uses Zoom but can also use Google Meet or Whats App. You will need space to move (slightly bigger than a yoga mat) and you may be asked to collect support props such as small pillows, rolled towels or similar items. Online sessions can be recorded if requested.
At the end of the session, Cheryl will provide you with resources to support your learning after the session such as movement homework instructions or customized videos.
