Is it time you finally broke free from the emotions that are holding you back... and set aside the calming practices that just haven't been working for you?
You've been angry or frustrated for years - or feeling trapped in a general malaise. You know that if you want to feel better, it's up to you.
There are dozens of ways you can approach emotional healing - some of which you may already be practising.
Problem is, none of them encourage you to do the one thing you actually want to do.

Hi there Soul Sister,
There has likely been a Warrior Emerging within you for many years… and you may not have even been aware of her.
Throughout your life, you have done what society… culture… everyone… told you would make you happy.
You studied hard, got educated and found who felt like the right man… but it was far from happily ever after.
You have an established career - or at least, steady work - which makes you feel, at best, meh.
You got married and have the 2.5 kids (and whether they’re talking to you or ignoring you, the kids are becoming increasingly rude).
Hubby is on a different planet… or you may be wrestling with the emotional shackles of divorce.
You may even be struggling with the ripple effects of separating from a controlling partner who made you question yourself, your worth and your power… and treated as anything but the radiant Warrior Queen who resides within you.
You are feeling disillusioned… in a funk... frustrated… angry… even furious.
You may have even dabbled in all the things that are supposed to help you overcome your charged emotions: meditation, breathwork, talking to a therapist. They may help in that moment... but the charge lingers.
Now it’s time for something different.
It's time to FIGHT.
But WHO and WHAT are you fighting for?
And importantly, how can you fight in a way that will elicit deep healing and help you break through?
First, no one has ever told you that it's okay - even positive - to feel angry or frustrated. (Depression and anxiety are widely spoken about, but not anger. That's taboo.)
Second, the common antidotes to charged emotions are lovely. I relish taking deep breaths (in fact, specific types of breathing are at the core of authentic Martial Arts practice).
I meditate most days.
I recite affirmations and truly value therapy and coaching.
You see, all these 'soothing' methods have their place - but they are usually too gentle to create the physical, mental and emotional alchemy to break through chronically charged emotions.
A garden hose can't erode a cliff... but an ocean can.
Third, it is likely that no one has ever taught you how to release charged emotions in a positive, healthy and constructive way.
And fourth, you probably haven't heard of Transformational Self-Defence and Martial Arts. Until now.

challenges you might be facing:
It hurts you.
It hurts the people you love.
The momentary relief subsides... then you are suffocated by shame and guilt.
I know, because I have been there. And I knew that if I wanted things to change, I had to start with me.
So you do.
You meditate.
Recite 'Relax... stay calm...' over and over.
Practice box breathing.
Go for a walk.
Sometimes it works - but it's only temporary.
When you're triggered, you try to breathe; suppress the aggression bubbling beneath and just speak logically. (After all, you know better than to explode again.)
But afterwards, you still feel like breaking down, punching walls, screaming or throwing plates across the room.
Because when you're this fired up, 'breathing it away' just won't cut it.
You may have even taken your charged emotions into your own hands and sought out a coach, therapist or counsellor - someone to help ease your mind - and vented through working out or even boxing. If this is you, good on you!
But what if you could take it to the next level and alchemise your emotions through unifying your mind and body?
And what if charged emotions aren't problems, but fuel to be leveraged for transformation to High Frequency, Whole Being Empowerment... and you walk away with genuine Self-Defence skills and strategies that no one will ever be able to take from you?
missing link
Just for a moment, imagine opening your eyes in the morning. You feel a calm confidence, clarity, a comforting centredness in who you are... and a sense of control over how you feel and your life.
You're ready to take on the day - and any challenges - from a place of loving strength and alignment.
Your boss expects you to quash your overwhelming 'to-do' list yesterday? You take it in your stride.
Your ex-husband's muddying your reputation and making unrealistic demands? You've got the ability to stand in your power and soothe his outrage.
Your kid is mouthing off again, and his teacher keeps dishing out detentions? Piece of cake.
And if you do get angry or frustrated or overwhelmed, you are armed with a safe, positive, healthy and constructive vehicle for you to unleash; to transform your charged emotions and put you back onto your throne of power.
This vehicle?
TSDMA: Transformational Self-Defence and Martial Arts.
And from finding your voice to defining your guard, I am here to show you how to do it.
Warrior Woman, isn't it time you reclaimed your power?
Transformational Self-Defence & Martial Arts (TSDMA) is a form of Martial Arts Therapy (MAT) where collectively, Self-Defence and Martial Arts serve as a powerful, positive and constructive vehicle for your growth and healing. While TSDMA may be a unique approach to inner healing, Martial Arts is closely interrelated with the Oriental Heath Arts, and has been used for healing for centuries. TSDMA is a modern take on this philosophy, and was designed specifically to alchemise charged emotions like anger and frustration. It can also help shift anxiety and depression (see Q&A below). TSDMA is also perfectly suitable for women who don't desire emotional healing, but are wishing for a profound transformation to embodied power (see Q&A).
TSDMA has psycho-emotional and spiritual bases. It is informed by the centuries-old wisdom of Traditional East Asian Medicine, and anchored in somatic intelligence that stems from my decades of expertise as a Martial Arts and Self-Defence Instructor, and Shiatsu Therapist. Strongly integrated with my vast experience as a Spiritual Coach specialising in Empowerment, TSDMA is designed to help you reach true, sustainable, holistic empowerment.
TSDMA is the heart of ‘Warrior Emerging’, my Signature Program.

What's inside the
'Warrior Emerging'
Online Course alone...
Prepare to step into your new identity as the Highest Empowered Version of You! But first, you need to acknowledge where you are, shed your skin and commit to yourself - and this module will show you exactly what you need to do.
01
The energetic side of things are often overlooked when it comes to something as physical, primal - and at times brutal - as Self-Defence. However, our goal is High Frequency, Whole Being Empowerment - and energetics are an integral part of us. You will learn an easy daily practice, chakras relevant to empowerment and how to activate your Octahedron Shield for protection - and its foundation in Traditional East Asian Medicine. Get ready to see empowerment from a whole new perspective.
02
03
Learn how charged emotions are powerful fuel for change - and exactly how and why TSDMA is a safe, positive, healthy and constructive container for emotional alchemy.
Setting boundaries, using your voice and saying ‘no!’ are crucial foundations of becoming empowered - and are as critical in enjoying harmonious relationships as they are in Self-Defence situations. They ultimately come down to the same thing: personal sovereignty and protection. You can expect some serious inner work and deep coaching in this module!
A BONUS lesson on Conflict Resolution Strategies is included, so that when it comes to managing conflict, you can shift from angry reaction to calmness, control and grace.
04
05
This module is optional as not all women who struggle with charged emotions lack confidence!
However, if a more confident you is part of your vision of empowerment, dive in to learn about:
This is where you will turn TSDMA into real Self-Defence techniques and strategies. After all, you can’t have holistic empowerment without embracing the physical!
You are worth fighting for and protecting… and you are the woman to do it.
06
Clever Martial Arts employs strategy - and many of these strategies are as applicable to winning in combat as they are to trumping life from a state of high frequency and Conscious Creation (a new level of holistic empowerment!) This module also covers practical issues such as combative range and what to do in critical 'what if' scenarios, with a BONUS lesson on Practical Safety Tips Every Woman Must Know.

Your complimentary 'Warrior Emerging' Discovery Call will give you the opportunity to chat with me IRL, and we can ascertain if 'Warrior Emerging' is the perfect fit for you.

'I was really unsure what to expect in our 1:1 TSDMA Session.
But Sheryn was encouraging, super supporting and very positive with her feedback. I could already feel a sense of improvement and achievement with some of the exercises we were performing. Most of all, I love that I'm learning the ability to defend myself and gaining a sense of empowerment through TSDMA. '
- Glenys Murray, Psychologist
alyson turned her life around:
'When I started with Sheryn, I was at a complete low.
With Sheryn's guidance and support, I have grown so much - and I am continuing to grow on my spiritual journey and can never look back. I always leave each session feeling so much better. Thank you Sheryn, for your guiding light and wisdom. I know there will always be challenges but with you by my side, they seem like pebbles rather than boulders.'

I wouldn't be the person I am today without her.
I highly recommend Sheryn's work for any girl or woman who is feeling a little lost, disconnected or even just wanting to get to know themselves deeper. I leave each session with more self awareness and greater depth of knowledge. I can't get this type of experience anywhere else with a spiritual teacher that I am comfortable with.

But if you're anything like I once was, you just need a little help to heal your charged emotions like anger, frustration and despondency... and the practices you've been adopting so far just haven't worked.
Suppressing and soothing away your charged emotions have only got you so far. You're yearning to unleash; to channel your charged emotions into a positive, healthy and constructive vehicle so you can heal... and step into your full, unbridled power.
And you need someone to show you how.
So if you're done with feeling frustrated and wound-up all the time...
If you're done with feeling swamped in the same funk you've been in for so long...
If you're done with being gripped by the white hot fury that causes you to lash out...
It's time to fight.
And I'm here to show you exactly how.
You're in the right place.

Thank you for your encouragement, support & insane amount of patience working with me!!! I would highly recommend this amazing Sensei to any woman.'

to transform your charged emotions into
But the secret weapon to truly realising your vision of empowerment? Showing up. Doing the work, both in session with me and applying yourself to the 'Warrior Emerging' Online Course. Complete the Workbooks, dive into the 7 Day Challenges, practice the exercises, enjoy the meditations and cite the affirmations.
Chime in with me on WhatsApp: ask me questions and share your wins, no matter how small or silly they may seem. You've corrected your distancing so you can properly use body torque to get out of that double-collar grab? Great! You've compassionately asserted your boundaries with your overbearing MIL? Amazing! You've found out that your teenager has been lying to you - but released with your new TSDMA techniques so you could approach him calmly? This is what it's about, my friend. Whether they are small wins in physical technique or minor celebrations on your journey of healing and empowerment, I want to hear it all; they are equally important.
Because while the chances of being randomly attacked on the streets are usually minimal, how often do you have to live with yourself, your emotions and your relationships?
Power and Confidence.
Everyday.
✓ Ditching your chronically charged emotions like anger and frustration - or breaking through your depression - and waking up to calm confidence, clarity and control over your life
✓ Setting aside the soothing practices that just haven't been working for you, and embracing something different so you can alchemise your emotions holistically and sustainably
✓ Shedding your 'Good Girl' persona - and what other people might think if you actually said 'no'
✓ Speaking your truth clearly, lovingly and unapologetically
✓ Establishing boundaries in your work and personal life, to protect yourself from people and situations that drain you
✓ Understanding golden prevention and protection strategies from an expert in the field
✓ Learning Self-Defence so you are physically empowered and confident when you step out in the world

Emerging as your Highest Empowered Version of You requires work, focus and dedication. As such, 'Warrior Emerging' is an involved program to ensure this transformation takes root in 4 months. It is estimated that the Online Course (and its Presentations, Workbooks and exercises) necessitates 2-5 hours each week, with some additional time required for practising TSDMA and Self-Defence techniques. You will also have your 60min 1:1 Session with me approximately every fortnight.
Yes, you can potentially complete the program sooner if you have the time and desire to have 1:1 Sessions more frequently than once a fortnight, and can work through the Online Course and implement the exercises in an intense manner. The 'Warrior Emerging' transformation can take place in 2 - 3 months. Having said that, there's magic in allowing ideas, reflections and learnings to gestate, and your evolution to unfold over a slightly longer period of time. Bear in mind that my own empowerment transformation took decades!
03
From pregnancy to sick family members to having to take on more work, life can certainly throw curveballs - and Warrior Woman, if this is your case, I'll be all ears! Clients are eligible for extensions of up to 12 months: the Online Course can be completed at your own pace during this time (and of course, you have lifetime access) and the 1:1 Sessions are spread out and booked in whenever you're able to have them.
You can still enjoy the WhatsApp Private Mentoring and Support throughout your extended period. However, I ask that you are respectful and do so sparingly (ie: no more than one thread per week) so that the grace offered is not exploited by those simply wanting to take advantage of a longer mentorship. (In the rare event that this situation arises, our contract will be terminated: any remaining 1:1 Sessions and Bonuses will be forfeited.)
04
Yes! If you don't live local to the Surf Coast or Geelong region, 1:1 Sessions can be held via Zoom. Please note that you will need a partner for Self-Defence disengagements (this can be your partner or a friend.) If you are able to make it in-person, you are still more than welcome to join us for the upcoming 'Warrior Sister' VIP Half-Day Masterclass in Torquay. (If you aren't familiar with the area, it's beautiful - with some of the most stunning beaches in the world - and an ideal place to visit for a holiday. We are a stone's throw away from the Great Ocean Road, and 3 hours from the popular natural wonder, the 12 Apostles.)
05
Yes! 'Warrior Emerging' works so powerfully for anger and frustration because it busts through Liver Qi Stagnation, which is inevitably the root of charged emotions. Depression and anxiety can also be considered charged emotions. If Liver Qi Stagnation is at the core of your depression or anxiety, 'Warrior Emerging' will also work for you. A Traditional East Asian Medicine practitioner or Chinese Medicine doctor can help diagnose this. As a general guide, if you've been feeling trapped in a funk or have moments of being overwhelmed by anxiety - but you are still able to get out of bed and move and have the desire to - then 'Warrior Emerging' will help you. The TSDMA exercises I coach you through are likely to be based more on Nei Chia Chinese Internal Kung Fu, depending on your level of motivation.
06
Absolutely! 'Warrior Emerging' complements conventional therapies, such as counselling, psychology and psychotherapy, very well. Please let me know if this is the case - and let your mental health professional know that you're doing 'Warrior Emerging' as well.
If you've got a good handle on your emotions, good on you! Yes, 'Warrior Emerging' can absolutely be undertaken for the journey of holistic empowerment alone. You may find that not all of the material in the Online Course is applicable to you (although inevitably, there will be themes or questions about areas that you haven't thought about, that will invoke greater clarity and direction for you.) Our 1:1 Sessions will certainly be tailored towards your unique goals.
100%! If this kind of trauma has been part of your life story, I salute you for your incredible courage and resilience. You are a Warrior Woman on a class of your own. ♥️💪 I am passionate about causes like fighting domestic violence and sexual abuse, and would be honoured to coach, guide and support you on your journey to holistic empowerment. Together, we would work on shifting your frequency, confidence and expectations of how others treat you so you need never again endure what you've been through... and if you do find yourself in a perilous situation again, you would be physically empowered to FIGHT BACK.
If you've suffered sexual abuse or assault, TSDMA will include learning to generate power from your hips in executing techniques. This is crucial in clever Martial Arts - and poignant somatic healing to feel that an area of wounding can be a source of profound power.
If you would like additional support and feel you would benefit from working with a psychotherapist, psychologist or counsellor while undertaking 'Warrior Emerging', please let me know. I can refer you to qualified and experienced colleagues who can help you.
