Sheila studied movement-based expressive arts at the Tamalpa Institute, where she learned how body movement and creative practices can unlock emotional healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. She completed Laurie Wagner’s ‘Wild Writing’ teacher training and uses these tools to help writer’s discover their authentic, unedited voice. She is a published poet, dancer and food is her love language. She is working on a memoir and studying flash fiction writing with Jeannine Ouellette. ​

Humans are the only species that share stories. We'd be lost without them. With them, we find ourselves.   ~Barbara Fulton

Some less traditional things about me....
I teach aerial arts because 1) I hate sitting in chairs 2) I love a task where my toes have a purpose. 3) I love falling and being caught.
I’m not a good housecleaner or dishwasher but I am a good cook.
I have freckles, children, two dogs and I love to dance.
One of those is a lie.
I like the papery shapes of wilted daffodils, the brown tinged edges curling in like antique lace.
My parents were farmers but I can’t get mint, basil or cilantro to grow in my garden.
The first story I ever wrote was called “Danny Gets A Broken Leg”. I was the hero.
