Denby Sheather
Midlife Medicine for Women on the Rise
My training spans nearly three decades and weaves together some of the most powerful healing traditions available to us.
I hold diplomas and training in:
•Japanese (Ki) Yoga and Hatha Yoga
•Somatic and fascia-based bodywork, including Human Garage Fascia Manoeuvers
•Bowen Therapy and Kinergetics
•Mind-Body Counseling and Hypnotherapy
•Theta Healing and Soul Retrieval
•Shamanic Earth-Centered Practices and Ceremonial Work
•Crystal Alchemy and Aromatherapy
•Animal Healing
•Meditation
But credentials are only part of the story. What I bring to every session, every program, every conversation is something that cannot be trained into a person: the particular quality of presence that comes from having done your own work. From having sat with your own fear, your own grief, your own anger, your own body’s insistence on being heard — and having chosen, again and again, to listen.
What I Focus on Now
NEW BOOK
Menopause isn't the beginning of the end.
It's the moment you stop waiting for permission to be yourself.
Period. Full Stop. is my new book: a warm, honest and refreshingly irreverent guide to menopause as a rite of passage, through Bone, Blood, Breath and Being. Part memoir, part practice, with simple rituals and ten-minute practices to help you come home to yourself.
PeriMoves
There's a particular kind of exhaustion that no amount of sleep can fix. You're the woman everyone comes to, holding everyone else's life together, waking at 3am furious or grieving, and quietly wondering when you disappeared from your own.
Nothing is wrong with you. Your body is not failing. You are being called home.
PeriMoves brings together yoga therapy, bodywork and shamanic practice to meet the whole of you, through Bone, Blood, Breath and Being. Five self-paced modules you can do at home, a weekly live yoga class with me, and a monthly women's circle, so you're not walking this alone.
The book shows you the way. PeriMoves walks it with you.

I really appreciate the intentionality behind and through everything. That's the bit I've missed in my previous attempts. I've loved the experience of doing this work in an intentional container with more structure as it's not something that comes naturally to me. I hope to carry forward the intentionality of each practice and part of my day. I want to create new habits in my life around intentionality rather than around coping mechanisms from trauma. This has really helped demonstrate to me how I might do that, now it's up to me to put it into practice.

Denby's individual healing sessions are deep, gentle and powerful beyond words. So much healed and changed within me during the Mana Yoga Medicine course. And the companionship of the other beautiful women also gave a lot of mutual support. I really feel this work has helped me to remember how to love life again! Also excellent value for money. You receive so many individual sessions and Denby's attention and commitment for the duration of the Mana Yoga Medicine course, is beyond priceless.

Denby's work is true and deep, accessing energy in a way that not many do. I have seen Denby a few times now and each time there is a profound release, and a tangible shift in my energetic field where it feels like old stuck patterns are unblocked. I see the changes in my every day and my relationships immediately after. I feel safe with Denby and I know that she is doing the work my system needs. I will continue to see Denby for these powerful sessions as she is a healer with grounded integrity and wise woman wisdom.
What's Included:
🤴 Five Self-Paced Modules Through Bone, Blood, Breath and Being: Each module gives you a short teaching, a PeriMoves yoga therapy practice and a guided shamanic practice you can return to whenever you need. Understand what you've been feeling, clear what isn't yours, keep what is, put down what you were never meant to carry, and become your own medicine woman.
No catching up and no deadlines. The modules are there for you, at your own pace, for as long as you’re a member.
🧘♀️ Weekly Live Yoga Class with Denby: Every week, we practise together online: yoga therapy shaped for a perimenopausal body, with fascial release, grounding, restorative postures and breath. Come as you are. Stiff hips, foggy brain and all.
🌿 Monthly Women's Circle: Once a month, we gather. Real women, honest conversation, no pedestals. A space to share, reflect and mark the seasons of this crossing together, and to hear your own experience in another woman's voice.
🌀 The Mana Reset: A ten-minute guided journey, recorded in my own voice, for the night you're lying awake staring at the ceiling, the morning you wake already depleted, or the afternoon you've been everyone else's person and can't feel where you are anymore.
📜 The Daily Mana Practice Card: One printable page: a few fascial moves, a breath practice, a clearing and a moment of stillness. Ten minutes through all four doorways, for the ordinary Tuesday when you feel yourself slipping away again.
🔥 Accessible Versions of the Rites: Including the Womb and Bloodline Healing Rite, held within restorative pelvic sequences, so the patterns you watched in your mother and grandmother can finally end with you.
📖 The PeriMoves Workbook: One page per module. Not homework, just the questions you'd want to sit with after each practice, so the work lands in your life and not just your head.
What happens if I cancel? You can cancel anytime. Your access to the modules, recordings, live classes and circles continues until the end of your current month. Any printables you’ve downloaded, like the Daily Mana Practice Card and workbook pages, are yours to keep.
PERIMOVES IS FOR YOU IF...
-
You're the woman everyone comes to, and you're quietly exhausted by it
-
You're in perimenopause or menopause, or can feel it coming, and want more than a list of symptoms to manage
-
You wake at 3am with a fury or a grief you can't quite explain
-
You say yes when you mean no, then spend three days resenting it
-
You'd like simple, body-based practices you can do at home in ten minutes
-
You sense that what's happening is more than hormonal, and want a way to honour that
-
You'd love to practise with other women who understand, rather than walking this alone
PERIMOVES IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
-
You're looking for a quick fix or a passive experience
-
You want a medical treatment for your symptoms (PeriMoves works alongside whatever healthcare you choose, not instead of it)
-
You're not open to working with the body at an energetic level
-
You're currently in another shamanic container
My Approach
I work at the intersection of ancient wisdom and embodied science. I draw from yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, shamanic and somatic practice, fascial intelligence, and the living tradition of women’s medicine. I believe in the physical and the energetic. The clinical and the sacred. The practical and the profound.
I do not offer quick fixes. I offer something more valuable: a framework for genuine, lasting transformation. One that honours the full complexity of who you are — body, mind, emotion, spirit, ancestry, story.
Working with me is not always comfortable.
But it is always worth it.
"I am adoring my life — even the difficult periods my processing time brings me through, into a higher state of feeling liberated. This work has given me the tools to truly meet myself."
— Dana, teacher and carer
"Working with Denby has been a deeply grounding and insightful experience. Presence, awareness, inner connection are key. I feel confident in my self-healing journey and rituals."
— Brooke, wellness practitioner & soundhealer
"Menopause could be an excuse to fade further into the background — or even to give up trying to understand this life. This work has helped me enormously. It has shown me another way entirely."
— Jenny, natropath
I'm Ready
to come
home to myself!
If something in these words has stirred something in you, if you recognise yourself in the woman I've described, or you can feel the pull of what might be possible on the other side of where you are now, I'd love you to join me.
PeriMoves opens its doors on 1 December. Pop your name on the waiting list and you'll be the first to know, along with an invitation to our free online opening circle.
You don't have to do this alone. You never did.
My medicine is not gentle in the way that avoids difficulty.
It is gentle in the way that knows how to hold the full weight of a woman’s truth without flinching.
A Gift Before You Go...
There is a moment — in the fog of another 3am wake-up, or the afternoon energy crash that no amount of coffee fixes — when a woman stops blaming herself and starts asking better questions.
What if it’s not your discipline that’s failing?
What if it’s your timing?
Sacred Timing is built on one of the oldest wellness systems in the world — the Chinese Body Clock — which maps your body’s energy to specific windows of the day. Sleep, digestion, hormones, mood, clarity, creativity: all of it runs on a rhythm. And in perimenopause and menopause, that rhythm is shifting.
This eBook shows you how to work with that shift rather than white-knuckle through it.
Not more effort. Better timing.
Said with love
“Denby is the real deal”
To experience Denby’s healing is a blessing. She is the real deal. Her understanding of the energetic being is masterful. I have witnessed her power first hand, many times. She can hone in on my ailments and then use her metaphysical wisdom, therapeutic training and years of experience in deep healing work, to transmute and shift what needs to go. A rare practitioner for the times. Her work is transformational. She recently helped to guide me through a major shift, from one timeline to the next. Messages I needed to receive came through and old wounds and stuck energy were released and shifted. Denby is guided by ancient wisdom, a master of her craft.
