Sheila describes herself as a dancing social worker. A former professional dancer, she has taught social work at three universities and co-founded and directed a behavioral health care clinic in Fort Worth Texas. After initiating InterPlay in four cities in Texas, she moved to Pittsburgh with her husband Richard Citirn, (also an InterPlayer), in June 2005.

She is the author of numerous articles and the book, Stillpoint: The Dance of Selfcaring, Selfhealing" and a new manuscript Dancing On Behalf of Life and Death.
