My name is Sheri, and my journey here has been shaped by profound challenges, moments of surrender, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.

What brought me here was a life of painful events, from child abuse and the loss of my soul protector to surviving severe accidents, including a plane crash, navigating kidney cancer, unexplained infertility, a traumatic pregnancy, and my husband’s incurable cancer diagnosis - life has tested me in unimaginable ways.

As a child, I fostered the beliefs of unworthy, unloved, unwanted, and eventually unbearable grief, which I carried with me throughout my adult life.

Envision for a moment a blizzardy scene in the distance, barely visible through the snow, a person pulling a sleigh full of cargo. Tired, cold, and weary, yet onward through the fog, head down, taking each exhausted step forward, having faith that eventually the storm must end. That person was me.

The sleigh, full of events and beliefs that hurt me, that I believed to be me, and all the thoughts to go with them. I desperately wanted to be free, but life just kept happening, the pain just kept happening, and it felt like I would never truly be happy, nor would I be free. I desperately wanted to be Free! Not even knowing what that meant, I just knew that I wanted it, and I wanted it to my core.

Then there was the moment that finally took me to my knees.

A moment I had longed for and dreamed of. Holding my newborn baby in my arms, the emptiness I carried whispered louder than ever before. Staring at her precious face, I thought, “I know I love you, but I don’t know you.” The emotional heartbeat that kept me searching for freedom was finally still, and I sank into the void I feared most.

The feeling of emptiness stayed for months, it stayed until upon recommendation of my psychologist that I try Reiki. Having no clue what reiki even was, I was willing to try anything, I was lost in the darkness of my own body, begging to come out, to feel, to be anywhere but trapped inside this void.

Reiki was the hand that reached into the darkness

It led me to a journey of rediscovery, as I trained to become a practitioner. And through Dragon energy, I finally met the parts of me that held wisdom, courage, and strength. - The flickers of what I had yearned for all along: SAFE, LOVED, HOME, and FREE.

But the spiritual world wasn’t always kind

As I immersed myself into the community, I encountered harmful narratives - the kind that cut deeply into someone already carrying profound wounds.

You manifested this pain. Your abuse, cancer and betrayals are karmic retribution from past lives.

Your healing will only happen if you follow my program. Sessions that demanded I relive my darkest moments left me feeling unheard, invalidated, and more shattered than healed. While these messages may have been well-intentioned, they only added to the pain..

There had to be something better….

In true traumatized fashion, I decided to leave the community and do it myself.

Taking what I had learned from years of therapy and fusing it with Reiki, I began to listen compassionately to the wisdom in my body, mind and spirit.

Healing isn’t about reliving the pain

We don’t have to remember every detail of the wound or suffer through the trauma all over again to heal. Healing happens when we hold ourselves - and each other - with tenderness, compassion and love.

Spirituality is one aspect of healing

sharing our wounds requires being met with safety, readiness and deep capacity

This journey has allowed me to transmute my life experiences into soulful expressions of self—to reclaim the parts of me that were always whole beneath the pain. Today, I am honored to guide others on their healing paths, offering a space where they can reconnect with their own inner wisdom and light.

In addition to Illuminous Mythic Mentor, I am also the founder of Opaline Care, a separate practice where I serve as an end-of-life doula. This work—holding space for individuals and families during life’s final transitions—has deepened my understanding of compassion and strengthened my commitment to honoring every stage of life with love and grace.

Whether you are seeking energy healing, soulful connection, or compassionate guidance during life’s profound transitions, my mission is to hold space for you. To sit with you in your darkness and witness your self emerge—not through force, but through tenderness—is the sacred work I am called to do.

Healing is not about fixing.

It’s about remembering that You were never truly broken.

Let’s take this journey together

I am honored to be a lighthouse on your path to the wisdom within.
