A Bit of Her Story Cheryl shares: Pre-Pandemic, while coaching theatre skills for public speaking in my downtown Minneapolis studio, I received lots of feedback that practicing my embodied exercises of alignment, breath, voicing, and intentional connection yielded additional benefits like relaxation, calm focus, positive mood, increased energy and sense of well-being. One savvy client said with a twinkle, “This is really stealth spirit work, isn’t it?” Yes! It always had been, but I’d been careful to keep my language mainstream. During the Pandemic, I followed my intuition, exploring less conventional methods and practices. I still offer traditional elocution coaching, but now I’m an elder, outing myself as the whole me, spirit-self included. When I’m working in connected flow with a client, coaching feels like a form of channeling. I freely utilize the gifts and lessons of a lifetime in the performing arts while incorporating an abundance of wondrous new learning in active Sound Healing.
