Cheryl is a pediatrician, working for 35 years at the Everett Clinic.  Her areas of interest are integrative ways of healing, ‘beyond what they taught me in medical school’.  She now works with children teaching mind body skills to relieve pain, anxiety, and deal with their stressful worlds.  She also teaches Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (a well-researched curriculum on mindfulness) in the community to teachers, ChildStrive staff and others who work with children.  The goal is to support them in their work and have the felt experience of mindfulness to guide work with their families.
