Specialties
Hi, I’m Sharmila Acharya, PT, founder of Performance & Resilience Tactics™ (PRT). I help professionals in high-pressure roles — including law enforcement, healthcare, educators, and corporate teams — use real-time tactical nervous system tools to perform optimally under pressure, recover quickly, and sustain resilience for the long term. With 25+ years as a licensed Physical Therapist — and additional training as a yoga and meditation teacher, clinical hypnotherapist, and trauma-informed practitioner — I bring a practical, science-backed approach to stress regulation and performance. I offer workshops and trainings (onsite or virtual) for teams, as well as one-on-one sessions for individuals who want personalized strategies. Through PRT, I’ve had the privilege of supporting educators, healthcare staff, public safety agencies, and organizations nationwide. My mission is simple: to help you Stay Sharp, Steady & Well in the middle of the workday when it matters most.
History
Established in 2014.
After working in hospitals and private practice since 2000, I launched my own business in 2014 to combine my background in physical therapy, yoga, meditation, and clinical hypnosis into a more integrated approach. Over the years, this work evolved into what is now Performance & Resilience Tactics™ (PRT) — a system of tactical nervous system tools designed to help professionals in high-pressure roles perform under pressure, recover quickly, and sustain long-term resilience. My lifelong exposure to mind-body practices, paired with 25+ years as a licensed Physical Therapist, continues to drive my commitment to learning, refining, and sharing practical strategies that help people Stay Sharp, Steady & Well.
