A wonderful practical flow.

While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy.
Sheridan helps anxious, perfectionist, people-pleasing and burned out entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven't worked.
