In this episode, Cheryl Ilov joins me to discuss what it means to be a Femininja. Cheryl is an author, dancer, martial artist, physical therapist, and Feldenkrais practitioner who began a journey of self-discovery and self-healing after her medical team declared her incurable from an incapacitating chronic pain syndrome when she was 36.

She fired her medical team, healed herself, earned her master's in physical therapy, and opened her own physical therapy practice. She believes that everyone can be fit, healthy, and vibrant at every stage of life.

Cheryl was her amazing self during this interview. She is absolutely hilarious, and also right on point! She was incredibly vulnerable and shared what led her to martial arts, during an incredibly difficult time in her life. She also shares everything it's given her, and what it can give you too ...and she generously offers to help you select the school that’s best for you too!
