Sheree Carara, founder of Rebirth Therapy, in Larchmont, is a naturopathic doctor, Kemetic/ancient Egyptian yoga teacher, author and certified sound healer. Her personal healing journey began in 2013 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). This journey led to her shift from a career in banking to naturopathy and the creation of her company Rebirth Therapy.  

Carara describes Rebirth Therapy as a modality that focuses on detoxifying the mind, body and emotions. It was created to help individuals who are ready to live a life true to themselves and who are ready to answer the simple question “How are you?” with authenticity.

This question is often not asked or answered wholeheartedly, but the first step to any rebirth is really answering the question honestly. “If you say ‘I’m fine,’ while feeling stressed, anxious, frustrated, angry or even a sensation of being trapped, then ‘I’m fine’ certainly needs to be redefined,” notes Carara. “If your inner voice is saying one thing and your outer voice is saying another, then that is a sign it’s time for a rebirth.”

Rebirth Therapy consists of various healing modalities with sound healing being a primary focus. “The general intention of sound healing is to create a state of harmony by using sound to clear discordance from the listener’s energy fields,” Carara explains. “Among the benefits are relaxation, an increased sense of well-being, expanded awareness and access to inner visionary experiences.” 

All the healing services Carara offers are aimed at detoxing one or all of the following: thoughts, emotions and the physical body. “Everyone deserves a space to detox emotional layers and sound and movement are amazing healers,” she assures.

With the help of a unique voice analysis software program, Carara can detect the top emotions that are creating an imbalance in someone’s life. “I create an opportunity for clients to feel safe and warm by listening to musical notes created for them based on the unbalanced emotions detected in their voice,” she says. “It’s a very safe space where their voice can be heard without judgment.”

“As the Kemetic proverb says, ‘Emotions are good servants but poor masters.’ The rebirth journey is not an easy one; however, it also isn’t a hard one,” affirms Carara.

“My own rebirth gave me my life back,” she adds. “I discovered how to create moments versus waiting for those moments to come. Inspired by this transformational life experience, I now dedicate my time to helping others rebirth their lives.”
