Wellness
& Empowerment @ The Byrd Approach
Dis-ease, and disempowerment arrives
because we’re energetically not HERE/NOW, in our body
and connected to the planet. The conversation lines are
unplugged, energy circuits are disconnected and the flow
of energy--mental, emotional, psychic, spiritual energy
is not being transmitted through our chakra system to
the energy meridians in our chemical body. And there’s
such a backlog of unheard, unhealed internal
conversation that keeps redialing, clogging the system,
overwhelm arrives and it seems useful to pull away even
further.
We consider this disabling cycle normal because it is
often the norm, and we don’t know how to power up. It is
actually a fairly simple and profoundly healing
experience to intentionally reconnect with the life
force, fullness and vitality that shows up when we plug
back in. There are tools and practices that work 100% of
the time, if we use them. Coherence happens,
possibilities unfold and transformation begins.
I
quit a twelve-year smoking habit after just three
sessions with her. And that was just the first time
she showed me how to save myself. Long story short,
I owe this woman my life--she's taught me not only
how to breathe, but how to be my genuine self, and
she showed me the path to personal redemption at the
tender age of 54.
The Byrd Approach? Yeah, baby!

All of these symptoms of energy mismanagement are
seeking a deeper conversation with the fullness of our
Being and respond well to energy based therapies:

Tools for cultivating this
conversation of wholeness are drawn from the practices
of Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology.
Energy Medicine is an ancient healing art found in most
indigenous cultures and is based on the understanding
that any physical, mental, or behavioral problem has a
counterpart in the body's energies, and can be treated
at that level. It is the science and art of optimizing
your energies to help your body, mind and spirit
function at their best.
Every conceivable health problem, psychological
challenge, or dysfunctional habit can be improved, if
not overcome, by intentionally shifting the energies in
the body and subtle energy fields. In the process, you
become more consciously and intimately involved in the
deepest workings of your body, mind and heart; a journey
that extends to your soul.
Subtle Energy Table Work may include breathwork, energy
healing, tissue release, trigger point massage, subtle
energy body integration, chakra balancing, sound
healing, energy meditations, guided imagery & Tantric or
Taoist energy practices.
Energy Psychology is a new branch of therapy which
incorporates the human subtle energy system, consisting
of the acupuncture meridians, the chakra system, and the
5-layered human bio-field. It recognizes that these
energetic systems, in part, form the foundational matrix
underlying human thought, emotions and behavior.
Process, or Couch Work may include depth, gestalt or
East/West transpersonal psychology, dream work, energy
field integration, hypnotic regression, sub-personality
work, skill building, various meditations & journal
work.
I met Cherie at a time of confusion and frustration.
Cherie equipped me with tools that enabled me to focus
my energies in the right direction. She also instilled
confidence of ‘me in myself’ that enabled me to live
better with myself and be more accepting and forgiving.
I would leave her office feeling I understand more of
what’s going around me and within me.
Her confidence, skills and approach are so refreshing
and exciting, I would often, and still do, talk to her
in my head when a little lost – sometimes only to find
the answers within me with her guidance.
She is creative, cheerful and delightful to be around.
No matter what mood you walk into her office with, she
can turn you around to see a whole different perspective
you may have not considered.
A new path will always unfold at your feet with her
guidance.

Human beings are incredibly creative,
and we give ourselves very little credit for it. Yet,
even as a child I knew that if I woke up not wanting to
go to school I could make myself sick before I even got
out of bed. I was a master of instant sore throats and
slight fevers.
After my glands were fondled, throat examined, forehead
felt and I was ordered to stay abed, I’d lie back and
inwardly smile. When the school bus was gone and I’d
eaten the usual sickbed breakfast of poached egg on
toast, I’d return to being perfectly well and lie back
feeling deeply grateful for a whole day to be with
myself. I thought everyone knew how to do this.
 A very
effective way to become conscious of being is simply
to take the focus of your attention away from
thinking and direct it to the body, where Being can
be felt as invisible energy fields that give life to
what you perceive as the physical body.
Eckhart Tolle
I was born attuned to energy, mine, other’s and the
planet’s, so I had always known that it was I who made
myself sick and I made myself well, though not always
intentionally. I knew sickness and wellness had to do
with some kind of energetic communication. There have
been times when it took a while for me to hear the
conversation that was going on somewhere between my body
and my soul, mostly because I had not been listening.
I was a very sensitive kid and it didn’t always feel
safe to be in my body, so like many kids I’d “pull out”.
My mental body went floating over my head, my emotional
body would go hide. Intuition would shut down, and
grounding cords were yanked. I’d disconnect the
conversation within my being in an attempt to not
experience the discomfort in my world. This is truly a
state of dis-ease.
What I have discovered over decades of healing and
empowerment work is that MOST people are walking around
as adults stuck in a similar pattern of disconnect and
they consider it normal. They’ve acclimated to it. Yet
deep down they know that something is amiss, life is
mediocre, overwhelming or a struggle. They’re not as
sharp as they’d like, and rarely experience their
feelings directly as they happen. Inspiration seems to
flow randomly, and how is it the doc says I have this
malady when I didn’t even know anything was going on?
Why is it that I feel so disconnected from other people?
From my joy? From my self?
I have
had many healing sessions from Cherie and she is not
an ordinary bodyworker as she brings to the session
a vast array of qualities that are part of her
profound training as a healer and spiritual being.
The last
time I received a session, my dear brother had
passed and she held such a safe space for me that I
could both receive a healing and cry my heart out.
..Cherie can hold you in so many different levels:
the physical, emotional and spiritual, she has so
many gifts to offer.
