Cheryl Jacobs Wellness

The Mindfulness work that Cheryl Jacobs does with our patients has been positively transformational – allowing them to find calm in the chaos, reconnect with family, and live happy, more-fulfilling lives.

Cheryl worked with us at W hotels for years. She developed one of our spa brands opening multiple properties with us. I was always personally inspired by her work out side the spa though. She offered programs for client meetings and did a few exercises with our operations team. One I recall was when she transformed a team of overly stressed executives into a calm connected team prior to our strategic planning meeting. She had this same effect on small teams throughout our organization and was a great help in creating a positive work environment well beyond the day-to-day spa management she excelled in.

Cheryl Jacobs has been a volunteer with Gilda’s Club NYC for over a year. Cheryl leads a monthly workshop that teaches our members interactive methods to relax—something they often neglect to do. Her calm and gentle demeanor allows our members to feel nurtured and supported as she guides them through a series of stress-reducing techniques. Each member walks away with skills they can apply outside of Gilda’s Club and use in their everyday lives.

My recovery went smoothly and in less than a month I was playing golf – half the time that was expected. Cheryl and her program were a great help to me and I am most thankful.”

I absolutely adored this group. Cheryl was such an amazing force for good in all our lives. In 6 weeks, she turned a disparate group of frazzled New Yorkers into a kind and caring source of support for each other and themselves. I went from feeling crazy busy to feeling peaceful and open and calm. She gave us all Multiple Tools and meditations to help us create new silence and space in our minds and lives. I saw radical shifts not only in myself but in others as well. It was truly thanks to Cheryl’s leadership, kindness and expertise. Can’t wait till it starts again!

Cheryl’s workshop guides the participants to a place of greater understanding of how we show up in the world through exercises that incorporate breath, movement and visualization. A gifted facilitator, she offers a profound experience that helped me reach a state of flow and letting go.

It is always an added pleasure to be in the presence of a teacher who herself is visibly alert to and overjoyed by curiosity and discovery. Cheryl is such a teacher. She is the awed child at heart. The class was an invitation to be curious about my body’s inner movement through breath, and this was new for me. I enjoyed it very much and experienced energy anew. Thank you Cheryl

Thank you so much for your abilities and efforts with my mother during her illness with cancer. Your time and work eased her pain and comforted her emotions more than any other resource. You helped to empower her in her last two years of life while she had cancer and before that you helped her to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship with herself.”

“Cheryl Jacobs is an experienced, generous and patient teacher. She has taught me that by practicing mindfulness, I can be a model of calm for my son. This calm has helped our whole family to hang in there when conversations or situations can get contentious.”

I am so lucky to have a session with a great healer Cheryl Jacobs who gave me an amazing energy healing. It really transformed me from a place of worry and anxiety into a place of calm, complete awareness and relaxation. I’d recommend everyone to go to her to find this place of calm within. Especially anyone who is having any kind of health issues.

“Cheryl’s touch is extremely light and subtle yet the shifts in my body were profound. Through our work together I came in touch with the anxiety and stress I was still holding in my body from my father’s death. Working with Cheryl has helped me release that tension and open up my heart. She is an amazing healer.”

Aimee Raupp, M.S., L.Ac.

The movement workshop for me was a fascinating journey deep into the hidden wonders of myself that I would have never been able to explore on my own. Cheryl Jacobs creates a safe and open environment that allows you to go to those hidden places with a child like freedom and fascination. When connected to this uninhibited world you feel vibrantly alive and leave with a new awareness of life and a positive outlook of the world. I can’t wait to take another one of her workshops!

“If all actors felt this connection, they would be brilliant.”

Cheryl assisted my husband, terminally ill with cancer, during his last hours of life.
A magical type of peacefulness occurred as she spoke and laid her hands on him.
For five hours until his death he required no pain medication. In my twenty years as a nurse, I never experienced a human having so much tranquility during the transition of death.”

Sharon Costanzo RNC, A.R.N.P

“My favorite part of the program has been the teacher, Cheryl. She really brings a fun and relaxed attitude to the group and she immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease.

What I loved about “Crazy Busy” was that I learned to refocus on gaining an inner sense of calm and sense of control. You can do a lot to organize and schedule your daily life in order to make things less chaotic. However, there will always be times when you can not control the craziness of the outside world. And, in this class, I learned how to go inside of myself and find a place of inner calmness and control. At the end of the day, it really is about taking a step back and taking a quick moment for yourself to recharge and regain a sense of balance in control.”

“My favorite part of “Crazy Busy” was sharing the enhancement of curiosity and kindness with a superb group of fellow attendants and an illuminating teacher.
I have learned mindfulness practices that ground me in the reality of the moment, reduce my anxiety and allow me to build better memories. I would enthusiastically recommend the group.”

Thank you for showing us how our breath and body movement and awareness can allow us to discover, to explore, and to process.
My favorite part was watching the jellyfish on video and then relating to that movement as if we were under water; it was emotionally powerful and physically relaxing. It was really cool!

~ Wendy Chauncey

By practicing mindfulness techniques, I am able to attain an openness and receptivity that I have not known since childhood that also validates my maturity. In my humble opinion, Cheryl Jacobs is one of the most unassuming and emotionally intelligent teachers I have known.
