Sharmyn Townsend – Spiritual Evolution
Graduated from Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) in 2009
Sharmyn did not set out to become a transformational coach and was not looking to make a career change but the universe had different plans, and in 2009 she was given the opportunity to pursue her coaching certificate through SWIHA. She has since achieved her PCC (Professional Coach Credentialing) through the International Coaching Federation and her SE certification through Somatic Experiencing International helping her truly gain the knowledge to become trauma-informed and develop the powerful skills necessary to help individuals heal. Sharmyn personally transformed and healed not only through her own therapeutic journey but also through her coaching and somatic training and education. Through these experiences, Sharmyn came to believe that everyone can benefit from the powerful impact transformational coaching and somatic practices have on an individual’s heart, mind, and spirit. Sharmyn blends somatic and trauma-informed mindfulness practices to help build self-awareness in order to gain clarity and create the personal insight we need to choose differently. Through somatic practices, Sharmyn creates a safe and compassionate space for people to go and feel deeper than they may have been able to in the past. Sharmyn believes we are an intelligent and organic system that is always working towards the most optimal life experience possible. But due to traumatic and deeply wounding experiences in the past, we may be stuck in unhealthy patterns as adults that started as adaptations as a child. She believes humans are incredibly adaptable and it is this ability that helps us navigate and survive even the most hostile environments. But once these adaptations become patterns, they can lead to unhealthy attachment styles as adults. Sharmyn uses her somatic skills to help an individual create a new dialogue with their physical system, learning to communicate in a new way, and allowing for new information to be mined from emotion and sensation. This creates the opportunity to cultivate the emotional intelligence and tolerance, as well as the new capacity needed to begin fully embodying the essence of who we are. Discovering and aligning with our values and personal truth are the drivers of personal fulfillment and purpose in this life. Sharmyn believes that each individual already has the answers they are looking for and I’m here to help you find them…
