Hi! I'm Cheryl...
Mystic, Nomad, Musician, Storyteller, Teacher, and Geek
When I sold my 18-wheeler in May of 2018 and walked a way from a profitable 6-figure trucking business to follow the calling of my heart, I knew I'd be relying on technology & social media to grow my coaching business. And even though I'm the former Technology Trainer & Knowledge Engineer for Logitech Inc.; when I set out to setup my online coaching business, I fell flat on my face!
So much had changed since my days in the late 90's building websites & databases in my spare time, I felt like I was starting over. There was so much to learn and every day I was pushing through paralyzing fear & self-doubt that often brought me to tears.
I felt really stupid and almost threw in the towel.
But I didn’t want to go back to working for someone else, I loved the freedom of being a business owner and the calling of my heart was so strong - I KNEW I was meant for something more! I didn't want to give up on my dream of creating a new business where I was sharing my gifts and making a difference in the world.
Then one day it came to me: if want to work with people directly, then the only thing that matters is connection. In that moment, the noise quieted and my path forward became clear. I created a single-page website with online scheduling and payment links. I now had a basic system in place to run my business! I got support with getting clients, while developing an approach to connecting online with my potential clients in a way that feels heart-centered and authentic.
Today, I have a profitable business once again, helping other spiritual coaches & energy healers like me get their businesses setup online & get known online so they can start making money doing the work they were born to do.
And, while my business is still growing, it has allowed me to live as a nomad in South America while I continue my healing journey and reclaim my voice.
So, even though I’ve come a LONG way, I’m still so present to the struggle that so many new spiritual coaches & energy healers wrestle with every day. And, that’s why I do the work I do…I don’t want anyone to struggle with making their business a reality. I want them to be able to earn a living while making a difference in the world doing the work they were born to do.
Certifications & Training
Artist of the Spirit Life, Spiritual, and Energy Coach
In March of 2020 I certified in a wonderful coaching program founded in core coaching principles that also provided a framework built on the Toltec Teachings and training in shamanic energy work. In order to receive all 3 certifications, we were required to demonstrate our ability to listen more than talk, follow our intuition, confidently & effectively facilitate energy work and journeys along with a clear understanding of the tools we were provided with.
This program was put together by 2 former apprentices of don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. One of them is beloved author and teacher, HeatherAsh Amara.
Warrior Heart Coach
In January of 2020, I became certified to facilitate guided journeys 1:1 using a unique framework for transforming confusion into clarity and pain into peace. This framework was so potent for me that when I found out I could become certified in this practice if I was also an Artist of the Spirit certified coach, I signed up for Artist!
The Warrior Heart Practice was developed by my teacher, HeatherAsh Amara and continues to be one of my go-to tools for navigating life and the experience of being human with other humans.
Warrior Goddess Facilitator, Level 1
This is where it all began. I became certified as a Warrior Goddess Facilitator in December of 2018. It was at a Warrior Goddess Workshop that I remembered who I was. 2 months later I sold my truck to follow the calling of my heart. These teachings continue to guide me in my daily life and both the facilitator training & the Warrior Goddess teaching infuse my coaching container.
This certification is through my mentor, HeatherAsh Amara, Warrior Goddess mama.
