Thai Massage
"I was introduced to Sherry by my chiropractor, and her treatment has worked miracles for me in managing my chronic low back and hip pain.
The story of how I got this way is probably like many others. Traumatic injury, and the natural degeneration of joints through the aging process is my story. It is the refusal to have radical surgeries to relieve my pain which brought me to Sherry. Her talent and skill to find all of the muscular tightness, and pressure points, from head to toe is remarkable. With each treatment, and her suburb understanding of the muscles, ligaments, and bones, she tells you the reasons why your muscles are tight. She also tells you what you can do to work out the “knots” and relieve tense muscles through daily stretching and self-massage at home.
Through Sherry’s treatments, I have become much more aware of my own body mechanics. I have the utmost respect for this wonderful and ancient art of Thai massage, which Sherry has mastered! She puts me at ease, and will lend an ear so that I can talk about most anything with her. This helps me to relax, which is essential to obtaining the best results of this treatment. I will be forever grateful for what Sherry has done for me." - Mary-Stewart Latta
"Getting a Thai massage with Sherry Smith is always a treat for my body and mind! It is a time to completely let go and let her do the work of helping my body stretch, release tightness, open up and feel relief and relaxation. It is an experience that I always look forward to when I have the opportunity to have her massage. Her yoga classes are also a wonderful combination of gentle yet challenging poses to help the body and mind. Her massage and yoga teaching skills have been part of my journey to achieving a sense of wellness!" - Lydia
My Thai yoga massage experience with Sherry Smith was much more than I expected! I tend to shy away from massage as most just massage the superficial muscles never getting deep into the body to help change things. I literally felt as though i was an orange being peeled open one layer at a time. It was divine! Areas that had been longing to be released she found and helped to release their holding patterns. Although, the work was deep, Sherry always encouraged me to breathe, and to allow myself to explore the sensations or thoughts arising. I felt very safe, nurtured and relaxed. She is an amazing massage therapist! - Dina
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
"I worked for years in traditional therapy to reconnect with my body following a childhood trauma. It wasn't until I met Sherry and experienced Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy for the first time that I began to feel true connection both within myself and with others. Sherry's gentle, loving touch and quiet, steady encouragement provides the support necessary for me to forge new relationships and heal. She continually encourages and challenges me in our Phoenix Rising sessions and as a result I am more open and free." - Anonymous
Yoga Teaching
"Practicing yoga with Sherry Smith is a life changing experience. Four years ago, I attended my first yoga class and that's where my journey to enlightenment began. When I think of all the people I've met in my 50+ years, few have had such a powerful & positive impact on my life. To my guru, therapist & friend, my sincere appreciation for all you have done for me!" - Terri
"Sherry's coaching and teaching is like a warm, glowing candle inside a cold, dark room,..she is always there when I need her, radiating light and warmth and guiding my path." ---Thom
"Sherry Smith introduced me to yoga only a few years ago. I am a grandmother, and my mental image of me, in warrior pose, produced an audible chuckle.
"Sherry is a wonderful instructor. Her patience, knowledge and coaching challenges me to achieve just a little more each session. She instructs us on breathing, stretching, posing, relaxation, and oh so much more. Sherry encourages us to retreat to ourselves and concentrate on self awareness and self improvement. She motivates us to leave the stressors of life behind for a short while and to reach for a more flexible and serene existence.
Today, I cannot imagine my life without Yoga. I am both thankful to and blessed by, Sherry Smith for her contribution and commitment to helping me lead a more balanced life." - Ann Bryant
