about me
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.

Some less traditional things about me....
My ideal self is going to buy glass straws for everyone and make little fabric cases for them out of the children’s too-small clothing. I have a red sequined dress with spaghetti straps that I’ve never worn. I’m experimenting with being frivolous. 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. I like to see the shadow of whales just below the surface. The first story I ever wrote was called “Danny Gets A Broken Leg”. I was the hero. |
