Sheryl Eldene, counselor, life coach, healer

I've had a rich and varied life so far, and I've love most of it. There's a bumper sticker that has always struck me as tragic, "I owe, I owe, so off to work I go". Mostly, the icky feeling of going to work and not loving what you do. My motto has been - I do it as long as I mostly love it, then I'll find the next thing I love. [Note to self - motto applies to work life and exercise life, not husband or family life.] I loved being a church organist, choir director, and voice teacher. Next, I loved being a corporate computer science engineer.

Now, I've found my groove as a counselor and life coach. Thinking back, I've always been that, even in college, friends were seeking me out for support and advice. On the way, I've grown in my relationship with my husband of 40 years. We raised two wonderful sons who live nearby with their wives and children.

I did have my own personal challenge with cancer 8 years ago. For us survivors, we all name that experience as life changing. The title of one of my favorite books, "I Will not Die an Unlived Life" pretty much says it all. Today I insist that I create balance in my personal and work life, and that I bring my full energy and focus with me when I come to my office. I try to remember not to sweat the small stuff, and that, really, it's all just small stuff - unless, of course we're talking about my CHOCOLATE, then, it's life and death.

I have been in private practice since 1994. I have supported the healing journey of hundreds of people using my unique blend of techniques that identify both strengths and dysfunctions in the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's being. I love my work and am pleased to be of service in this way.

As you'll see below, I have lots of certifications, degrees and licenses. What I'm most proud of, however, is that I finally realize that I'm loveable and acceptable just the way I am, and another certification, degree or license bears no relation to Who I Am.
