Meet Cheryl
Mayor of the Ville
Healthy, Happy Living…in this lifetime, is possible!
I have come to know that health and wellness goals are best achieved by choosing pleasure, integration, and steady progress. My views have been dramatically shaped by my personal journey to a healthy lifestyle (Yes, it’s true – I once smoked, ate a lot of junk food, hated to exercise, and crammed my closets and drawers full of too much stuff). Because I’ve been there, done that, I’m committed to a kinder, gentler approach to wellness–leaving behind judgment and working toward supportive and nurturing environments.
On the professional side, I am an exercise physiologist, wellness strategist, and life coach. For many years I was the director of an award-winning wellness program for 80,000 employees, dependents, and retirees. I have an M.S. in Exercise Physiology and Community Health and an M.A. in English. In 2003, I founded CherylMillerVille.com offering resources for healthy, happy living . . . in this lifetime. I have written numerous ebooks and ecourses and blush, blush, author and marketing guru Mitch Meyerson called me “one of the most innovative wellness coaches in the industry.” For several years, I have provided wellness training programs for a variety of businesses.
In 2012, I moved to Overbrook, KS, and restored the oldest house in town (built in 1875). Over the next several years we transformed it into the Fairchild Wellness Retreat and built the Bohemian Bunkhouse. When I’m not cooking in my country kitchen or walking my dogs on the nature trail, I’m teaching yoga, senior fitness, and a wide variety of wellness and well-being workshops. I also host business, group, and personal retreats. Check out the photo galleries here: FairchildWellnessRetreat.com. There’s a lot going on in this town of 1,000 people! Life is a foot.
How often do you find a 100 percent rating? Usually, there’s at least one thing that could be improved. I’m happy to gush that at the Fairchild Wellness Retreat, where I wrote part of my new book, Thank & Grow Rich, every single piece of each retreat is a ten: the meals, the room, the loving care from Cheryl Miller who treats every guest like they’re her family. And here’s the thing. You want to hang out in places that have good energy, in places where you can feel the love. That’s why I will continue to write my books, at least partly, at Cheryl’s Fairchild Wellness Retreat in Overbook, Kansas.
Through working with Cheryl, I’ve learned a new meaning to the word “stick-to-itiveness.” Far from being an ivory-tower, health primadonna prancing around in a leotard, Cheryl is a real, approachable person who doesn’t hesitate to share her own life experiences and challenges. If the saying “How you do anything is how you do everything” is true, then it’s no wonder that Cheryl’s intelligence and her caring, open and kind personality shine through in absolutely everything she does.
