Hello!
I'm Shirley
At EquaTerra Wellness, I help clients across Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio reduce stress, build resilience, and reconnect with a grounded, balanced way of being through mindful movement, meditation, and whole-person wellness coaching and education.
All experiences are trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; they are choice-based, supportive, and designed to prioritize emotional safety and autonomy.
Together, we design practical, real-life wellness experiences that support emotional well-being and create healthier, more connected workplaces and communities—so you or your group feel seen, supported, and re-energized.
I founded EquaTerra Wellness after transforming my own health and well-being, and I’m committed to helping others cultivate clarity, balance, and long-term resilience.
Welcome
SERVICES
Mindfulness and Movement-based support
Awareness is the greatest agent for change
Trauma-Informed & Trauma-Sensitive by Design
Research suggests that 70% of U.S. adults will experience at least one potentially traumatic event in their lifetime, and 6-7% will develop PTSD. That’s why I approach each class, workshop, and presentation with a trauma-informed, trauma-sensitive lens that honors emotional safety, consent, and choice — so you can participate in a way that feels supportive, steady, and empowering.
-
Choice is built into every practice (pause, opt in or out - it's your practice).
-
Invitational language is used instead of commands.
-
Predictable pacing and clear transitions help reduce surprises.
-
I offer verbal cues and mirroring by default and provide physical support only upon request.
-
Options for different bodies, energy levels, and comfort (chair, wall, floor, and props).
