In 2006, Sharie completed her training as an InterPlay leader and also received her degree in mental health counseling, so InterPlay and counseling have been woven together in her bodyspirit from the start. She finds InterPlay to be foundational in building and maintaining her personal resilience, as well supporting her work with clients.
