The power of movement & defining the love you want: movement choirs; nervous system regulation & a ten-step path to figure out the type of love you deserve

On this episode of The Lisa Burke Show, dancers Veronique Scheer and Gabrielle Staiger talk about how the body stores emotions. Mentor Rick Serrano walks through a simple checklist to define a partner that matches your life goals and one deserving of you.

Traumatic Injury to Identity Shift, Education and Trauma-Healing workshops

Veronique Scheer, founder of Very Unique Yoga, was a professional musical theatre performer living her dream life in Barcelona as a young adult. This dream was abruptly halted by a devastating motorbike accident at 21. Through years of rehabilitation, a law degree (plan B) and reinvention, Veronique turned to yoga, pilates and trauma-healing practice. She realised that movement could me more than performance or aesthetics; it could be a tool for nervous system regulation, trauma healing and identity reconstruction.

“The nervous system governs how we experience life.”

Today, Veronique’s work blends movement science, hormonal literacy and nervous system education into a holistic approach, particularly supporting women navigating stress, burnout, postnatal recovery and life transitions.

She distinguishes between nervous system regulation and long‑term training, emphasising that our reactions often arise from stored patterns in the nervous system long before cognition catches up.

Co-regulation in couples

Veronique also conducts couples yoga classes, and can see how their nervous systems sync in a calming or dysregulated way. Through workshops and couple classes, she sees first‑hand how movement can reveal communication patterns, power struggles, people‑pleasing and sexual disconnect. These workshops also show how playful, shared movement can help partners remember why they fell in love.

Using practices such as AcroYoga, she watches trust, control and surrender play out physically: some couples re‑discover laughter and tenderness; others confront that their relationship may actually be over.

Veronique’s upcoming digital academy and app (launching 2026) brings together:

- Nervous system regulation
- Hormonal health education
- Trauma-aware movement
- Conscious relationship development
