meet Cherionna Menzam-Sills
Somatic Prenatal and Birth Therapist
CHERIONNA MENZAM-SILLS, PhD began teaching Embodied Embryology through
somatic movement in 1997 as part of her doctoral studies in Pre- & Perinatal Psychology,
which led to her teaching at Naropa University and the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.
She has taught and facilitated Pre- and Perinatal Psychology/Therapy, Continuum, a mindful movement practice, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy globally, often with her late husband, Biodynamics pioneer Franklyn Sills. Biodynamics involves perceiving and augmenting embryological forces to support health and well-being throughout the life span.
Her background includes extensive study with Pre- and Perinatal Psychology pioneers
William Emerson and Ray Castellino, and Continuum founder, Emilie Conrad, who
authorized her to teach Continuum in 2007.
Cherionna has also facilitated therapeutic movement and body awareness for almost 50 years as a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Massage Therapist, and Prenatal and Birth Therapist. She has authored three books, The Breath of Life: An Introduction Craniosacral Biodynamics, Spirit into Form: Exploring Embryological Potential and Prenatal Psychology, and The Prenatal Shadow: Healing the Traumas Experienced Before and At Birth. She facilitates small womb surround process workshops and offers professional training in Somatic Pre- and Perinatal Therapy, as well as offering individual and group supervision, mentoring and therapy.
Cherionna is committed in her work & life to compassionate, embodied presence.
