 Sherry Wheaton MD is a physician who enjoys exploring the cutting edge. She began practicing geriatric medicine in 1985 when very few understood the value of this field. Because of her commitment to education and self responsibility in health care, she became a CBS on-the-air health reporter in 1992. After a life changing accident in 2000, Sherry transitioned into the symbolic world of Jungian psychology, seeing modern medicine as a rapidly growing machine focused on eradicating the symptom while ignoring the deeper meaning. Because many of these symptoms have their roots in trauma, Sherry has recently completed the Trauma Resiliency Model training and has begun facilitating the modules. Sherry believes the 21st century healer must learn to listen to the messages of the body, not treat the body as something to be manipulated into submission. She believes the body has something important to say.
Sherry completed the three-year BodySoul Rhythm® Leadership Training offered through the Marion Woodman Foundation in 2007. She has facilitated workshops for women with chronic illnesses and uses movement as a way to help others learn to listen to the messages of the body. Because of her belief in movement as a way to listen, Sherry holds a Blue Belt in the Nia Technique which encourages the joy of movement, the body's way. Sherry has encouraged many women to open to their inner healer, finding their unique path to wholeness.

Linda believes in the transformative potential of deep therapeutic work and understands the body's capacity for memory and healing. She is a graduate of Marion Woodman's BodySoul Rhythms® Leadership Program and has been trained as a 50/50 Pathwork Helper.
