Sheridan Ruth

Initial Consultation For Coaching

Your work makes a difference in the world. Let’s take it to the next level together. If you’re ready to boost your creativity, innovation, and impact to make the world better through your work (with support because we both know how useful it can be), then you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Sheridan – Trauma Therapist and Nervous System specialist on a mission to create positive change in the world, through business and nervous system awareness and education.

 

To do that, I need to partner with the right clients.

Here’s what I look for in a client and how you’ll know if our partnership would be the right fit for the mission of creating positive chance in the world.

  • Sustainable Growth & Healthy Business Practices:
    • You care about what it feels like when you go to work, and you want your team members to feel good while they work too. You refuse to overwork, and you don’t believe in treating people badly to get ahead. This means you’ll be able to create sustainable growth. 
  • Thriving Mental Health & Improved Well-Being:
    • You’re sick of insomnia, digestive issues, anxiety and you swore to yourself you wouldn’t burn out again, but you’re eerily close. Whether your mental health is impacting you through constant anxiety, or making you risk averse and procrastinate, my skill is supporting smart people like you manage their mental health without sacrificing values, productivity or achievements. 
  • Responsibility To Curate Positive Systemic Change:
    • You don’t need to know exactly how this will look (and maybe you do!), but you’re driven by creating something of value that changes lives. 
  • Embracing a Balance of Spirituality & Science:
    • You’re open to spirituality and the deeper meaning of life, but you thrive when it’s grounded in science and tangible practicality – you don’t have to meditate all day, or understand neurotransmitter language, but if you’re not interested in feely deeply connected to your purpose and joy, and understanding why our bodies react the way they do to uncertainty, we’re probably not a good fit. 
 
If these things matter to you, then our partnership will be a great fit!

I’d like to invite you to schedule an initial consultation call where we’ll have a very grounded, heart to heart conversation. I’ll ask some questions about your goals, we’ll identify what your nervous system (body) needs to get there, what your business needs to get there, and then I’ll make some recommendations as to what will help you most. 


I may invite you into Body Based Business, my 6 month 1:1 coaching program, or, I may recommend a more suitable colleague. 


Either way, you’ll walk away with clarity on how to use the wisdom of your body and nervous system to support yourself, your business and your team.

Your Initial Coaching Consultation

Got questions? I have answers.

That depends on you. My work is highly individualised, and what you’ll need will depend on your current goals, your experience with therapy and coaching, and the season of life. When you book your initial consultation call we’ll be able to discuss how much of our work is therapeutic and oriented towards trauma healing, and how much is more accountability, coaching and result oriented. One of my client’s favorite things about working with me is that they get to bring their personal and professional selves to our work, and I can support them in both capacities. It’s just more effective. 

That’s hard, I hear you. This is the place most people are in when they come to work with me.

They’ve done the STUFF and they are ready for something that helps them feel grounded for good, and see their business grow. You don’t just want another investment that makes you feel more depleted and overwhelmed by the end, I hear you. 


Body Based Business has been carefully designed and refined to create results for people who have done all the things so far. 


Evidence shows us that what happens to you in your life is stored in your mind and in your body. 

Therefore, addressing the body through the nervous system and emotions is a more effective and efficient approach to healing and expansion than simply talking about the issues. If you are doing mindset work alone, it is possible that past events are not being integrated or healed. This can result in the same patterns resurfacing or you feeling like you’re ‘stuck’.

 

Inside your Consultation Call we’ll begin the process of accessing the wisdom of you body to understand what it needs to make things work this time. 


Additionally, this body-based work must be accompanied by external action, systems and sales. 

This is why we focus on creating a nervous system-informed business plan and a Somatic Sales Strategy.

So that you can show up, serve your community and get paid well to do so. 

BBB (Body-Based Business) differs from traditional therapy in several key ways:

Somatic Therapy and Business Coaching: BBB combines somatic therapy and business coaching, offering a holistic approach that addresses both personal well-being and business success.

Focus on Effectiveness: Somatic therapy is considered more effective in creating lasting change. Clients seek BBB to become grounded, gain clarity, and find ease while facing life’s challenges. The emphasis is on long-term results that extend beyond the coaching relationship.

  • Integration of Past and Future: While BBB acknowledges the importance of the past, it doesn’t dwell on it for extended periods. Instead, the focus is on building a future-oriented approach to achieving goals. This approach considers the unique past of each client to create sustainable financial growth, starting with $5k months and expanding further.
  • Relationship Between Body and Business: BBB explores how the body, which holds generational information, relates to business success. This unique perspective helps clients create profitable and anxiety-free months.
  • Specialized Context: BBB specialists, like yourself, understand the specific challenges of the online business world, making them uniquely equipped to address issues related to sales, marketing, receiving payments, team dynamics, and product structuring.
  • Contextual Relevance: Traditional therapy may not provide the context needed for issues like being triggered by an Instagram post, which is essential in the online business realm. BBB coaches understand these nuances and address them directly.

In essence, while some tools used in BBB may overlap with traditional somatic therapy, the crucial difference lies in the context and focus. BBB integrates somatic therapy techniques within a business context, offering clients a more targeted and effective approach to personal growth and professional success.

I’m a certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, where I learned elements of Somatic Experiencing,  The Hakomi Method and Internal Family Systems from Richard Schwartz, Pat Ogden, Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Arielle Schwartz & Nkem Ndefo and Dr. Albert Wong. My training focused on creating individual and collective changes. 

I’m a trained Yoga Therapist with Ashley Turners Yoga Psychology certification, one of the premier programs merging psychology and body-based practices for transformation.

 
I hold numerous certifications in yoga therapy, meditation and mindfulness coaching and as of 2024, I am currently enrolled in an Advanced Diploma of Neuroscience For Leadership. 

 

As an entrepreneur of twelve years, I’ve created numerous small businesses, worked with the United Nations in supporting their teams with resilience training, and co-founded a women’s empowerment non-profit in Colombia. Above all, I have extensive experience doing the hands on work of coaching hundreds of individuals and catching all the subtle patterns you struggle to see yourself.

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.
