About Beryl
BERYL STROMSTA (she/her)
Beryl Stromsta has been a somatic coach and experiential learning facilitator for 20 years. She is passionate about helping people unleash their potential through becoming more conscious, intentional and compassionate with ourselves and others. She uses the tools of social emotional intelligence, somatic practices and breathwork to help people attune to their minds and bodies while liberating their spirits.
Her specialty is healing bodywork and other methodologies, such as bioenergetics, which is the strategic accessing and manifestation of energy and aliveness in our bodies leading to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing, wholeness, and well-being. She has worked with parents, children, entrepreneurs, managers, employees, singles, couples, and ages ranging from 13-80, both individually and in groups.
Using these tools, in coaching sessions or group experiences, she helps people become aware of their default programming - beliefs and habitual patterns of feeling, thought and behavior which guide our ways of being - and where it lives in the body so they can choose how they want to live in this moment. She uses the power of the breath paired with verbal facilitation to discover and release stored memory, trauma and incomplete emotional experiences. She weaves in parts work, inner child work, mindfulness, existentialism, Adlerian theory, neuroscience, family systems theory, educational theory as needed to help someone deepen their self understanding while committing to practical next steps.
She offers individual and group coaching, workshops and presentations on a wide range of topics including social emotional intelligence, soft addictions, tapping your personality style, personal power, life purpose, family systems, cognitive skills and breath/body work.
Prior to starting her business, Be Unleashed, Beryl served as a senior coach and facilitator at the Wright Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to social and emotional learning.
Beryl earned her M.A. in Transformational Leadership and Coaching from the Wright Graduate University in 2018, a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, and a B.A. in Psychology from DePaul University.
