ROOT to RISE RETREATS Borrego Springs & San Felipe, Baja Mexico

YOUR GUIDE
Author • Founder of the Root to Rise™ Method • Somatic and Nervous System Transformation Expert
Cherie Salma Bianco is an internationally trained somatic therapist, Kundalini Yoga teacher, shamanic practitioner, and pioneer in the integration of nervous system healing with spiritual transformation. For more than four decades, she has guided thousands of people in moving beyond survival patterns into lives rooted in safety, vitality, and authentic self-expression.
She is the author of three books: Root to Rise: From Survival to Sovereignty in a Dysregulated World , 365 Daily Return: 365 Days of Somatic Wisdom , and her most recent, The Living Instrument – Tuning the Body, Nervous System & Life Force Through Kundalini, The Yoga of Awareness.
Cherie is the creator of the Root to Rise™ Method, an integrative approach weaving together Core Energetics Body Psychotherapy, Kundalini Yoga, Q'ero Peruvian Shamanic Healing, Sufi mysticism, sound healing, and modern nervous system regulation.
When the body experiences safety, the soul naturally remembers who it is.
She often describes her work as “Feng Shui for the human system.” Just as a home flourishes when clutter is cleared, the human body naturally reorganizes when old emotional burdens and energetic imprints are gently released.
Her diverse training includes Core Energetics with the late John Pierrakos M.D., Q'ero healing traditions with Alberto Villoldo, Kundalini Yoga with Guru Singh, Brett Larkin and Mukta Kaur Khalsa, and nearly three decades of Sufi mysticism study under the late Sidi al Jamal of Jerusalem.
Today she offers private mentoring, transformational retreats, classes, and immersive programs that invite participants into a new relationship with themselves — not through striving or fixing, but through remembering.
Root. Rise. Remember.
Reflections on nervous system healing, somatic wisdom, and the journey from survival to sovereignty.
