Sheridan Ruth

Initial Consultation

This call is for you if you’re functioning on the outside but running on empty underneath, and you’re ready to do something about it.

Not just curious. Ready.

Book if you’re likely to invest in support within the next 90 days and you have the capacity to do so. This isn’t a discovery call for people who are browsing. It’s a first conversation for people who already know something needs to shift.

What’s this?

A free 30-minute conversation on Google Meet. I’ll listen, ask a few questions, and reflect what I’m hearing. At the end I’ll tell you honestly whether working together makes sense, and what that could look like.

No pitch. No pressure. No preparation needed.

If it’s not the right fit, I’ll say so.

Book a time that feels spacious. If you need to reschedule, go ahead. Just give me 24 hours notice.  

Got questions? I have answers.

Most approaches try to fix the problem before the body’s ready. They stay in the mind — pro/con lists, productivity hacks, even some “healing” spaces that quietly push you to perform clarity.

We start somewhere else: your body’s pace. Your nervous system’s truth. We won’t force insight or action, but we will gently untangle what’s keeping you stuck, so the clarity comes from you — not from a checklist.

This isn’t about fixing, performing, or managing better. It’s about reconnecting to the version of you that already knows — and finding a way to move from there without spiraling, freezing, or crashing after.

You don’t have to. In fact, that’s often the best place to begin.

We don’t need a clear problem statement to start. If all you’ve got is a whisper, an ache, or a vague sense that “something isn’t working,” that’s enough.

I’m trained to sit in the not-knowing with you — without rushing or needing it to make sense right away.

I pull from a broad lineage — both formal education and intuitive learning — to support this work.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Community Development & International Sustainable Aid, with a focus on resilience, systems change, and the emotional layers of social justice.

I’m a certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist (The Embody Lab), trained in elements of Somatic Experiencing, the Hakomi Method, and Internal Family Systems, with guidance from teachers like Richard Schwartz, Pat Ogden, Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Nkem Ndefo, and Dr. Albert Wong.

I’m also a trained Yoga Therapist through Ashley Turner’s Yoga Psychology certification — a leading program bridging psychology and body-based practices — and I hold an additional certification in Ayurveda Wellness Coaching through Shakti School.

My current studies include a Graduate Diploma in Psychology and an Advanced Diploma of Neuroscience for Leadership, expanding how I integrate brain-based leadership, resilience, and nervous system science into this work.

Since 2016, I’ve been practicing and teaching nervous system-based approaches, and I’m trained in psychological safety implementation under ISO 45003 — frameworks essential for leadership, workplace wellbeing, and reducing burnout risk.

But beyond the credentials — what actually shapes my work is the way I listen.
The way I sit with you when you don’t yet know what’s wrong.
The way I don’t rush your insight, your grief, your becoming.

This program draws from a rich blend of modalities and influences:

  • Shadow work, inner child work, mindfulness, and somatic processing techniques from the lineage of Stefi Preiss, Christian Meyer, and Eli Jaxon-Bear

  • Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg)

  • Feminine/masculine polarity theory as taught by David Deida, John Wineland, and Madelyn Moon

  • The Change Triangle by Hilary Jacobs Hendel

 

And I’m deeply influenced by the work of Peter Levine, Sheryl Paul, Deb Dana, Pat Ogden, Eckhart Tolle, and Bessel van der Kolk.

If you’re too busy to even think straight, you’re in the right place.

This isn’t a daily practice or another to-do list. It’s a structured, spacious partnership designed for people whose calendars are already stacked:

  • Two 60-minute sessions per month

  • Voice & text support between sessions

  • Real-time pacing based on your energy, not just the calendar

It’s designed to save you time in the long run — less spinning, more clarity, fewer burnout days.

That being said, if you just feel you don’t have time in this phase of life, don’t book. Instead, focus on creating time and then come back when you’re ready. 

That’s a valid fear — especially if you’ve done therapy, coaching, or all the “right” things and still feel… off.

Here’s what’s different: we don’t just talk. We work directly with your body’s signals, your rhythms, your real-life capacity. We integrate metrics that matter to you — like sleep, energy, boundaries held — not just vague “progress.”

Plus, this is a partnership. You’re not buying a formula. We adapt, we pause, we recalibrate. You’re never locked into something that isn’t working.

If your workplace offers a professional development or wellbeing budget, yes — many clients have used that.

If you’re worried about confidentiality and invoicing, I’ve got you covered. All sessions are private, secure, and we can arrange NDAs if needed. Your HR doesn’t need to know the details — just that you’re working with a specialist in nervous system-based leadership and burnout recovery.

That’s okay. While many of my clients are entrepreneurs or leaders, this work isn’t tied to one path.

Whether you’re navigating a pivot, considering leaving leadership, or simply want to feel like yourself again — we start there. The goal isn’t a business outcome. It’s alignment with your system, your soul, your next right step.

My consultation with Sheridan was very insightful and grounding. I’ve had a few consultations before but with Sheridan I really felt deeply seen and heard for the challenges I am facing.

I never felt rushed or that I was taking too much of her time, which is super important for me!!

When we started, I felt confused and unclear about my direction forward in business, yet with her curious + powerful questions and warm responses, I felt called forward into clarity and decisiveness. There was a special safety and openness to be vulnerable in our conversation that was deeply nourishing for me. I feel a plethora of feelings from the insights I took away, all of them positive! 

I highly recommend having a consultation with Sheridan or booking with her for her service if you desire to feel seen and recognized and guided forward to discover for yourself your next steps with her.

Thank you to you Sheridan, I deeply appreciate your time and wisdom shared.
