YOUR GUIDE
Cherie SALMA Bianco
Author • Founder of the Root to Rise™ Method™ • Somatic and Nervous System Transformation Expert
For more than five decades, Cherie Salma Bianco has guided people in moving from survival to sovereignty by helping the body rediscover its natural capacity for safety, resilience, and healing.
Creator of the Root to Rise Method™, Cherie integrates nervous system regulation, somatic healing, Kundalini Yoga, Core Energetics, breathwork, sound, and the heart-centered wisdom of Sufi mysticism into a compassionate, body-based approach to transformation.
Her work is grounded in a simple truth:
When the body experiences safety, the soul naturally begins to remember who it has always been.
Whether through her books, private sessions, classes, or immersive retreats, Cherie creates the conditions in which healing unfolds—not by forcing change, but by helping people come home to themselves.

Somatic grounding, nervous system repair, and body psychotherapy for deep cellular healing.
Kundalini Yoga & Mantra
Breath, movement, sound, chanting, and frequency activation to awaken your life force energy.
