Discovering the Heart of Reaching Beyond Bars
Hello, I’m Debbie Sherria, the visionary Founder and Executive Director of Reaching Beyond Bars. As a Certified Professional Aromatherapist, Sound Healer, and Herbalist, I bring a unique blend of expertise to curate holistic wellness experiences. I offer personal and group consultations and workshops exploring the world of essential oils, herbs, sounds, and teas. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for addressing trauma, PTSD, depression, and other reentry challenges after incarceration, we strive to blend the worlds of aromatic, sound, and herbal healing with social justice. All our services are offered complimentary. Join us on a journey where well-being and compassion converge, creating a sanctuary for the soul and the community.
Through our programs, we have successfully transformed lives by enhancing the well-being of incarcerated individuals, their families, and correctional staff. Our holistic approach fosters resilience and hope, creating a path for a brighter future.
