Sheila has been committed to the spiritual journey and the path of energy work for over twenty years.  In addition to a broad range of study, she is trained and certified in multiple modalities and has worked as a practitioner in some of them. Her presence is shaped by feminine embodiment practices, meditation in its many forms, practices that deepen connection with the soul and spiritual heart and non-dual teachings.

Sheila is certified as a practitioner of BioQuantum DECU™ (DNA Expression Cellular Upgrade), which is a quantum methodology for cellular reprogramming. She is also certified as a DMT™ Genecode Card Reader. These methods deepen her work with cellular consciousness and with frequency- and pattern-based approaches to awareness and transformation.
