As Director and Cofounder of New Equations, Siska Tovey, Soultype 8, has been researching the physical expressions of the soul for over twenty years. In 1994, she and Alan Sheets made the pioneering discoveries of the nine Soultypes®, Soultyping®, Postures of Strength®, Movement Centers™, and Facial Expressions of Strength™. Siska has dedicated her life to helping people learn about the magic of the physical expressions of the soul and how to use this wisdom in service of humanity. She teaches internationally and has Soultyped thousands of people. Siska helps design and develop the websites for NewEquations.com and NewEquationsMusic.com.

Siska’s curiosity in how the body expresses itself, and desire to help people make positive life changes, drew her to explore different ways that the body functions. She researched bodywork, including the Rosen Method, Hellerwork, Rolfing and the Feldenkrais Method, and then trained and became certified in Aston-Patterning, a comprehensive form of therapy that includes soft tissue mobilization, movement training, fitness coaching, and ergonomics, all calibrated to a client’s unique movement patterns. She also took up activities such as raquetball and windsurfing to feel her own body in action. Siska spent a lot of time painting and figure drawing, including portraits. Her interest in the details in human faces and body shapes made her very aware of the power of different nuances in the physicality, and how a tiny little change had a huge impact.

All of this helped develop her ability to help people change their movement patterns and reduce pain. In addition to her private practice, Siska worked as an Aston-Patterner in a physical therapy clinic in Marin County, California. Soon she and Alan opened their own clinic and for over ten years they offered alternative modalities. Siska and Alan were married in September of 1990 and their research collaboration began. Throughout their years of research and development, Siska and Alan have made connections with many wonderful people and also with beings from the universe.

Siska, Alan, and conductor/musician Siv Roland, came together in 2009 as The Sound Aligners. They create music that aligns the body’s nine Spiritual Portals with the spirituality of the universe to help people move forward in a peaceful way. The Sound Aligners present New Equations Music worldwide. Siska creates the album art for the music. She currently resides in Northern California, USA.
