Hi. I'm Sheila

I'm a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Registered Nurse, mother—and a woman living with Type 2 diabetes.

After more than 30 years in healthcare, I've spent much of my life in conversations about health.

These days, I'm equally curious about what makes us feel alive.

That's why I created NEST—a space where health and well-being can belong in the same conversation as meaning, connection, curiosity, creativity, and the fuller expression of who we are.

I would love to be part of that conversation with you.

your contribution

The Spirit of Your Contribution

Every NEST Reconnection™ partnership includes the same level of care, attention, and support.

The contribution pathways simply acknowledge that women find themselves in different seasons of life and have different capacities to support this work.

I invite you to choose the contribution that feels most aligned with your present circumstances.

If Growth feels comfortably within reach, it is my heart's request and best supports the sustainability of NEST.

If you're in a season of greater abundance, Gratitude helps create future opportunities for others through a spirit of paying it forward.

If a higher contribution would compromise your essential needs or create unnecessary financial strain, I invite you to choose Grace with confidence.

Please choose the contribution that feels most aligned with your current season.

What is a NEST Conversation? (Discovery Call)

A NEST Conversation is a complimentary opportunity for us to meet, explore what you're navigating, and determine whether NEST Reconnection is the right coaching partnership for you. It is a conversation—not a coaching session or a sales call.

What is NEST Reconnection?

NEST Reconnection is my signature three-month, one-to-one coaching partnership designed for midlife women navigating life's transitions while living with Type 2 Diabetes

What happens during the three-month partnership?

We'll meet regularly for private coaching sessions while working together between sessions through personalized reflection, support, and practical next steps. Every partnership is tailored to your goals, your pace, and the season you're in.

What makes NEST different?

NEST is a whole-person, body-oriented coaching practice. Together we'll explore not only your health, but also your relationship with yourself, your body, and the transitions you're navigating. Depending on your goals, coaching may integrate somatic practices, Human Design, mindfulness, breathwork, and other reflective approaches.

Is this coaching right for me?

If you're a midlife woman living with Type 2 Diabetes and you're ready to create meaningful, sustainable change through a supportive coaching partnership, NEST may be the right place for you. The best way to find out is through a NEST Conversation.

Is this covered by insurance?

Coaching services are usually SELF-PAY and are not typically covered by insurance.

Some clients may choose to use HSA or FSA funds, depending on their individual plan. Please confirm eligibility with your provider.
