About Sherri-Lyn Shaw

---

To answer this question, it’s probably best I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting “compelling story”, that brought me to where I am today – mentoring people like you on exactly what to do to take the reins back on your life, to take full responsibility for and control back on your health and healing journey, to create the life of your dreams – a life which now fills me with happiness and satisfaction, healed my food sensitivities and other health ailments, and put me in direct contact with my inner wisdom and compass. This defining moment in my life happened in January of 2008.

I was in my late twenties, building a life which looked great on the outside, but things were crumbling in terms of my body and health.

I'd entered into a career in the I.T. industry and committed myself to building a successful career. I started with programming, moved to software testing and compliance and eventually moved into a Business Analysis role. I was (and still am) good at what I did, I loved the people that I worked with and the work I did. 

Working as a Business Analyst was a great fit for me within the I.T. industry, with high engagement with people, interesting work and enough tech-stuff to keep my mind challenged. I worked with high-performing teams and we achieved great things together. This pace and pressure of the project deadlines was, at times, hard on my body. I also kept myself extremely busy in my personal life. I enjoyed my work and also sensed deep down that there may be something more for me and knew I was meant to help people in deep and meaningful ways, but didn’t know what that meant or would look like. 

I was getting tired, burnt out (my adrenals were maxed out from the continuous pace), had hypothyroidism, anxiety, bouts of depression, and experienced regular migraines which would last up to a week every month (well hello dark, quiet room where I could sleep and wrestle with the nausea). 

My left hip challenges were severely limiting my movement and my life. I had given up running, curling, and any other activity that would bother my left hip joint. I only wore flat, super-supportive shoes (bye-bye heals, boots, flat fun flip-flops!).

My food sensitivities took over my life (no gluten, dairy and eggs for me!). Even when I avoided those foods, there would be times that I would eat something that should be ok and find myself unwell from it – Sometimes, I’d be at home for up to three days because my digestive system was in such a “state” that it wasn’t a reasonable option for me to be out in public. Each item that I was sensitive to resulted in its own distinct, unpleasant digestive issues.

My social circles got smaller - my food restrictions made it challenging to find food that wouldn't make me sick, which meant that the prior social food-based gatherings weren’t an easy option anymore. I felt scared, alone and frustrated and it became apparent that it was possible that the is wasn't something that our medical system had the easy-button answer for.

My symptoms were getting in the way of life, impacting my quality of life. I ignored my body’s signs and symptoms…until I simply couldn’t ignore them anymore. I felt like my world was , closing in on me. I had to make some changes, but didn't know where to go or turn. 

I visited my family doctor who prescribed me multiple prescription medications for the various issues, some with possible side-effects like headaches and digestive issues…Wait! Weren't those the things I was trying to get away from? I asked if there was more I could do to help myself and was told I would need to live with these conditions and take the prescriptions to manage them. EVERYTHING about this felt wrong to me.

I had always believed in a more natural, holistic ways to heal our bodies. In my heart, I sensed our body’s were designed for and were capable of healing. I believed in the power of plants and lifestyle changes. I had seen it first hand with my Dad turning his life around in my younger years. I knew there had to be a way for me. 

It was in that moment in early 2008, I vowed to myself I would find a better way to figure out this whole “healing thing”! It was in that moment I took the power I had given to our medical system back and took full responsibility for my health and life. I started my journey with a goal to get my life back...little did I know that my life would never quite be "the same" again.

And so began my healing adventure. I tried EVERYTHING! 

· Ditched ALL chemicals and toxic ingredients in my home and life (cleaning products, laundry detergents, foods, etc)

· Changed the way I ate, ditching the things that bothered my body and aiming for more organic real food, as I could. 

· I ditched watching and listening to the news more than once a day (I could keep on top of what was going on without drowning in the negativity).

· Listened more, spoke less. 

· Opened my mind to other possibilities (after exhausting all the standard options).

· Changed my thoughts and dropped limiting beliefs.

· Worked with various practitioners - osteopathic therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths, acupuncturists, coaches, psychologists, ayurvedic practitioners, aromatherapists and more. 

· Tried yoga, meditation, sound and colour therapy, Reiki, mediumship readings, intuitive readings. 

· Took myself on a solo-retreat.

· I committed to spending time outside each day (nature rocks!).

· I learned to connect with my intuition, how to hear the callings of my heart and make decisions from my heart and brain rather than only from my brain. 

Each of these items impacted my life – some in smaller, more subtle ways, others in more profound, visibly impactful ways. It was like each of these was a puzzle piece in the personal healing journey of Sherri-Lyn Shaw, which has been the adventure of a lifetime! 

I found the role “life coach” which honestly made my heart soar because it absolutely “hit” the mark: I was meant to help others in more deep and meaningful ways and to make a positive impact in the world (although I didn't know quite how I would do that). I got certified as a master life coach, started to open up to work with clients and then stopped in my tracks. I provided my clients with a tool to assess their level of satisfaction in the main areas of their lives, to help us create a baseline and understand the areas that needed focus. One of the areas was labelled “Spirituality” and to be honest, I had NO IDEA what that word even meant. I wasn't raised with religion and at the time, I didn't believe in the higher source many referred to - I had closed myself off to what may be called “faith” after my niece’s death in my teens. If I couldn’t wrap my head around “spirituality”, I obviously had to learn more about it personally before I could support my clients to create a balanced, happy life. I paused “life coaching” and started my adventure to learn what spirituality meant, trusting that I would figure it out along the way.

Skepticism aside, I took my Level 1 Reiki certification to start practicing Reiki on myself and my close family and friends. From there, I followed my curiosity and learned to work with Sound and Colour Therapy, Access Bars, Universal Spheres, the Emotion Code, the Body Code, Mediumship, Ho’oponopono, Tapping, Shamanism and much more! With each step and approach, I put my skeptisism aside, opened my mind and heart to consider its possibilities AND more of my health issues melted away…My quality of life started to return! 

After YEARS of searching for a solution, I finally restored balance to my body and my food sensitivities, migraines, hypothyroidism, anxiety and more eventually disappeared. Not only that, but I don't know that I'd ever felt better in my life - emotionally balanced, healthy, energetic, happy and comfortable in myself!

· I cleaned up the energies and wounds from my past.

· I ate healing foods to clean-up and support my liver. 

· I connected to my intuition and developed my spiritual practices more deeply. 

· I listened to and followed my heart (instead of only my brain) 

I’ve committed the rest of my professional life to helping other women take their own power back in their life, to build a life that brings them happiness and satisfaction, to skyrocket their personal success and satisfaction, to balance their health and wellbeing and to experience the peace, ease and freedom they desire.

I now live my dream of helping others to create deep and meaningful change in their lives, health and happiness. All the years of time and thousands of dollars spent…I now pull from the things that actually worked for me to save you time, suffering and money.

I’ve been working as an energy practitioner since 2017 and I LOVE what I do! I help women to restore balance to their bodies and lives while teaching them how they can better manage their energetic state. I regularly see their:

· connection to their authenticity deepens 

· confidence and trust in their own abilities soar 

· health and life shift in beautiful ways

If you're struggling with similar issues in your own life, I get it. I see you. I understand how scary it can be to lose hope, to not feel heard and seen...how isolating these struggles can be. I’m here to help. I’m here to serve. Let’s solve this problem together.

I’ve created these programs (each a series of 1-on-1 sessions) to help boost you forward into the life you deserve: 

· “Heal your Body Blocks" - Ditch the blocked, low-vibe energy that prevents your body from doing the healing it can do, connecting you with your best life.

·  “Deep Dive into Your Intuition" - row your connection with your own inner navigation system (intuition), the super-power EVERY woman needs to navigate life with confidence and ease.
