Sheri Stapleton-Hewitt and Jerry Hewitt are the husband-and-wife founder/owners of RAINDANCE HEALING CENTERS and Performance Sports Therapy, both woman & veteran-owned local businesses in Tucson, Arizona. Since 2009, their passionate mission has been to help their ever-growing list of clients experience the life-changing power of natural, non-invasive preventative health care.
Their clients come to them feeling at a loss, not knowing what to do about their physical suffering, fearing that their issue will become permanent or debilitating. They come away educated & empowered, feeling pain-free ease of movement—perhaps for the first time in a long time—enabling them to return to doing what they love most, with greater confidence in their body’s resilience.
From a very young age, we were each called to study deeply within this sacred healing modality. Interestingly, we both followed that calling through life — long before we met.
Today, we offer Shamanic Integration Therapy in tandem as a couple, as we find that the balance of strong feminine and masculine energies allows us to ‘hold space’ for our clients in a truly powerful and transformative way.
About Jerry
At the early age of 14, Jerry was guided to shamanic healing work during his experiences with the native tribe in Oklahoma while tending to his grandfather's farm near the reservation.
Seeing Jerry’s innate gift, the native elders nurtured it — thus Jerry spent much time being mentored under their gifted traditional guidance.
Throughout Jerry’s life, he’s traveled to many countries and experienced many different native cultures. In each place, he was drawn to explore, experience, and learn from their unique — yet universal — methods of shamanic energy healing work.
After serving in the U.S. Navy in the 1990s, Jerry was then called to obtain his natural medicine degree. He was further drawn to study manual therapy, Reiki, and therapeutic bodywork, continuing to immerse himself in the world of energy healing modalities.
Jerry’s studies deepened yet further while receiving mentoring from a Peruvian shaman whose lineage includes a long line of shamanic energy healers.
He’s always seen how the process of whole-self healing is deepened and grounded by including this kind of potent, timeless energy work in the mix.
Jerry is profoundly honored to support and intuitively guide his clients to connect to their wholeness through the rich universal wisdom of shamanic healing.
About Sheri
Before Sheri got into therapeutic bodywork professionally as a young adult, she always knew that she wanted to be some sort of holistic ‘doctor’ — she wanted to be someone who shows people how to heal themselves naturally as she had then started to do.
It was this innate calling along with a deep-seated desire to help others that led her to obtain her natural medicine degree. She then branched out into the world of therapeutic bodywork in early adulthood.
Sheri had come upon the knowledge and realization that, if she focused her positive energies on something, she could bring about their manifestation. She wanted to learn more about how energy works — and how to incorporate it into her life’s work supporting her clients on their journeys to healing.
In pursuing her shamanic studies, she was recognized as being a gifted healer by her shamanic healing mentor from Peru. She has mentored with him since, fine-tuning and cultivating the presence of this gift every day.
Sheri has an exceptional ability to listen to her client’s body and soul when doing therapeutic bodywork with them — and this extends even further when she sits in shamanic space with her clients.
A strong intuition has always guided Sheri, and she leads from her heart on the healing path with her clients.
