About Me

I’m Sheryl L.W. Barnes, PhD, PhD, DMIN and I am a CEO, Master Life Coach, Author, Podcaster, Retreat Facilitator, Speaker and Minister of the Gospel! It is a genuine passion for me to help others understand how amazing their lives can be. I believe that “wellness” and “self-care” are stewardship responsibilities that can be realized as we understand, agree and align our life choices with the Word of God.

I’ve been blessed to win a national award for each of the two books I’ve published: “10 GIFTS to Give Yourself – The Journey Back to You!” and “Discipleship in the Age of Distraction.” I’ve also enjoyed myriad opportunities to train, teach, disciple and encourage people from all parts of the globe.
As a minister, mother, sister, friend and numerous other “titles” I honestly can say that my best moment is… NOW. I’m learning to embrace the majesty and miracle of being fully present in the present and that is what I’m committed to helping you experience.
