In this episode, Sheila speaks to Dr. Suzanne Schiller, a Holistic Chiropractor who specializes in women’s wellness and uses a method called Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy, or ATMAT. ATMAT is founded on ancient Mayan techniques of abdominal massage, which increases circulation of blood, lymph, nerve, hormone and energy within your belly, whole body and energy system. It also teaches you daily self-care tools so you can stay healthy and vital. As a life-long investigator, Suzanne has explored meditation practices since the age of 5, spent decades honing her intuition by reading energy patterns in herself and others, and adventured deep into healing frontiers of movement, somatic arts, and ritual. She is a true holistic energy healer and this extremely powerful therapy is only one of the healing methods Suzanne uses in her practice. Sheila also describes working with Suzanne in an energy healing session and the profound insights that came from the therapy. Get in touch with Dr. Suzanne Schiller her

In this episode we are talking about the Fat Positive Movement! Sheila’s guest is Kathy Deitch, actor, activist and Co-Host of the Plus This! Show. After discovering that 67% of American women are a size 14 or above, Kathy and her co-host Eva Tingley felt that the moment has arrived for media, entertainment and fashion to catch up with content for this under-served majority and they started the vodcast. Plus This! features pop-culture, fashion, and current debates regarding food and health, the societal negativity and stereotypes that surround women who dare to take up a little bit of space. Kathy is a New York transplant who was in the original Broadway companies of FOOTLOOSE and WICKED and her Los Angeles acting debut was at the Hollywood Bowl in RENT directed by Neil Patrick Harris. Kathy also played Catherine/Senator Martin in the LA cast of SILENCE!

Get the Kleenex ready! In this highly emotional and personal episode, Sheila is taken through a personal example of the deep and powerful therapy called Eidetic Imagery, by her guest, Wendy Yellen, one of the Top 3 transformational experts in the field of Eidetic Image Psychology. An eidetic image is a type of vivid mental image, not necessarily derived from an actual external event or memory, which can help someone to come to terms with events and feelings that occurred in the past and are still buried deep in the subconscious. Wendy is a former psychotherapist who closed her waiting-list-only private practice when she found that none of the traditional and non-traditional therapies she was certified in were enough to help people really change in the ways they were seeking. Years later, she was re-introduced to the father of Eidetic Imagery, Akhter Ahsen, and she knew she had found the Holy Grail of transformation. Wendy works with people who are ready to let go of the old “change paradigm” and are ready to
