Kinesthetic Education and Pivotal Physical Therapy as well as teaching classes

acquire the most up to date information regarding neuromuscular reprogramming,
movement research/analysis, BodyMind Centering, Pilates, Qi Gong and yoga.
.Somatic Movement Therapy training - Dynamic Embodiment© DE-SMTT teaches professionals creative & interactive approaches to increase
somatic awareness and support healthy choices in others. DE-SMTT is
currently a program of Moving On Center, a non-profit educational organization. Bodily ease is fostered using
diverse skilled touch techniques, movement and verbal direction.This training draws upon the work of Body-Mind
Centering©, Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff
Fundamentals, Neurological Development Patterns and the Alexander Technique.
The approach uses hands-on repatterning with movement and verbal instruction to
guide improved self- awareness and foster optimal physical, emotional, and
cognitive performance.
Integration. Using fundamentals from Laban/ Bartenieff
(movement analysis), Body-Mind Centering (neurological development), dance,
Pilates and Yoga, in addition to develop-mental principles and neuromuscular
re-patterning, Sherry merges strengthening, lengthening and alignment
principles for unique experiences in recognizing new awareness and connection
that result in a graceful integration of the body, mind and spirit.
The Pilates Component. Sherry is certified in Pilates (mat and equipment
through the PhysicalMind Institute-NYC) and incorporates her education and
expertise to identify neutral placement in regards to the spine, pelvis, and
shoulder girdle for the purpose of loading muscles to invite balanced strengthening. Through experiencing this supportive integration we can re-pattern/re-program our neuromuscular recruitment to reveal enhanced performance, optimal length, strength, ease and balance.
The neutral alignment of the spine and pelvis preserves the principal curves of
the spine to reduce uneven pressure on the discs of the spine. The results are lowering risk of disc
compression or herniation as well as balancing the intrinsic relationships and
support of bone, muscle, organ, fluid and other tissue that connect our
throughout our entire body. Exercises
move through all possible movements of the spine while some challenge your
ability to stabilize the neutral spine and pelvis. Healthy posture is the result of maintenance
of the neutral curves of the spine.
 Sherry’s own on-going practice and
study of Yoga,Dynamic Embodiment©, Barteneiff, BodyMind Centering© (Developmental work with infants
through adulthood), Feldenkrais, Eric Franklin, Thomas Hanna and other somatic
systems continue to inform her work.
