Sheryl Utal is an entrepreneur, self-healer, and student of life. Her passion for health optimization was ignited over 15 years ago after the standard medical model failed her in the wake of an autoimmune disease diagnosis. This crisis served as her initiation into the healing journey of a lifetime, and guided her into deep practices across yoga, breath work, sound healing, and meditation, and ultimately to the cessation of autoimmunity. These transformative experiences catalyzed Sheryl to create Japa Health: a technology platform that generates personalized physical, mental, and spiritual health recommendations to support the success of self healers at scale.
