Imagine…
A woman who is deeply rooted in her life purpose, grounded in feminine, earth-centered wisdom, who is celebrated and recognized in her field of expertise and is successful in what she creates.
This woman is YOU.
Do You Have A Problem With...
- Lots of training in holistic modalities but never found the right way to bring everything together under one magnetic umbrella that represents a unique body of work- that works in the world.
-
Are not truly working with skill sets that inspire you and therefore women are not drawn to you and your work. This creates an energy drain on your ability to carry your message and manifest your vision.
-
You are not set apart from others in your field of expertise and not seen as the number 1 go-to source in your field of expertise.
-
you lack the confidence to step out boldly and with courage to share your gifts with your community. 90% of this is not having that solid “body of work that works in the world”, leaving you doubtful of your ability to change lives. This happens when we have a whole bunch of great skills but they are not woven together into a tapestry that sets you apart from others. When you are not clear on who you are and what you have to offer, clients and students will not choose you. We have to set you apart.
Together we will weave the unique tapestry of your life and skills into an extraordinary body
of work that sets you apart from others and keeps you firmly rooted in your authentic self and your life’s purpose.
This course is for you, IF…
- You are ready to collaborate with a mentor (me), your higher-self and Spirit to bring to life a vision for yourself that is deeply rooted in your life’s purpose.
- If you are on the right path with your healing but have not yet been able to combine your skill set into a uniquely holistic body of work that works in the world.
- You have a clear, intuitive knowing that something is missing that will bring it all together.
- Are ready to be a change-maker and a wisdom-carrier and be seen as the go-to person in your field of expertise.
- Want to get unstuck, get moving and do the work to be a leader, to be personally and professionally successful while staying true to yourself.
- To unlock your hidden gifts and potential and organize your wisdom into something the world needs and wants right now.
- Desire to live a life of love and service, with the foundation of your work based on spiritual solutions and have a solid connection to a lineage of teachings and teachers that matters.
- Need help cultivating that deeper level confidence that it takes to let yourself shine and the know-how to put yourself out there in a way that is authentic to you.
- Willing to follow guidance of a mentor who knows what it takes and a willingness to take contrary action and move out of your comfort zone when needed.
The Women Mentors Who Changed The Course of My Life
Here are the women I want to tell you about. Their wisdom and ways have informed who I am and what I pass onto you, my potential students. It is essential to know this because this is how women learn from one another. One woman shares with another over time. And over a lifetime, those influences add up.
Kathy Wells is a psychotherapist who was the first woman to introduce me to the Divine Feminine. When I was in high school, she gathered her daughter, one of my best friends, and started a young women’s wisdom group.
She taught us about the Mother-Goddess and introduced us to the feminist change-makers. She gave us a reading list, including the book by Merlin Stone When God was a Woman. And I read the books! She planted the seed that took. When I look at the girls she gathered in her downtown office way back then, I can see that at least 4 of us chose to heed the calling of learning more and carrying on the teachings.
Nin Bebeau is an amazing woman and was an incredible therapist to me when I was in college and not happy with the path I was following. She was a Jungian trained powerhouse of a therapist who invited me at age 18 to jump into her master’s degree program to audit it so I could learn from her. She was the first woman to introduce me to the Earth-centered ceremonies, women’s circle songs, and magic. She also happened to be
the person who pushed me to seek a solution for a problem I was having using herbs. Well, we all know how that turned out. One encounter with plants and my life was forever changed. I am so grateful that she pulled me into her world and out of mainstream school. She showed me a world that I have never stepped away from.
Chris Smith is an absolute gem of a woman. To this day, I still tell everyone she was one of my most influential mentors. She brought wisdom into the body. She taught me about trauma in women and how to hold a safe
space for the most intense experiences women ever live through. She taught me how to stay the course with women who were hurting and how to keep showing up for them and for myself.
Aviva Gold was the teacher who taught me to teach and how to show up and turn the seams inside out on issues within a group. I spent two years studying with her in upstate New York doing a training called Painting
from the Source. It was basically soul-retrieval work through art. Aviva spotted the tortured perfectionist inside of me immediately. She taught me how to be authentic and not get trapped in the need to look good to others
at the risk of abandoning what is real inside me. She showed me how to lead a circle with strength and how to not be a guarded teacher. She is the best.

Dear Awakening Medicine Woman,
Life is a beautiful journey with many trips around the sun, allowing us to become wiser as we get older. It shows us how to step into our power as women, to shed our skin like a snake as we continue to transform. If we listen to our deeper calling and align with our true nature we find ourselves connected with a power greater than ourselves that propels us forward on our path.
When we train to become A Modern-Day Medicine Woman we become a force to be reckoned with, flush with soft power ready to change ourselves and the world around us. We become leaders in our communities in a way that reflects our authentic personal calling. Sometimes our work leads us to shouts from the rooftops to push for change. Often it lights a fire, brews a pot of tea, and shares wisely amongst women.
When we train to become A Modern-Day Medicine Woman we become a force to be reckoned with, flush with soft power ready to change ourselves and the world around us. We become leaders in our communities in a way that reflects our authentic personal calling. Sometimes our work leads us to shouts from the rooftops to push for change. Often it lights a fire, brews a pot of tea, and shares wisely amongst women.
As we walk this spiral path, we embody each of the three Archetypes of The Modern-Day Medicine Woman.
First is The Change-Maker, the woman who works to shake up the system. I often refer to her as the rabblerouser. Her power helps us create paradigm shifts and become thought leaders.
Next, we meet The Shapeshifter. She is the Transformation-Seeker who works tirelessly on her own personal growth and healing, knowing that all genuine change begins on the inside and never stops. There are times in life where we may feel disconnected from this aspect of selves, but we always return home to her.
This journey ultimately transforms us into The Wisdom Carrier, the Messenger who goes out into the world to carry a message of experience, strength, and hope. When you carry the wisdom teachings, the knowledge of women’s wise ways, you transmit Her-story to those whose lives you touch. With so much to share, why would we ever keep silent?
We walk this path because we are called to go deep. But we are also called be seen by the world. In this way we are doing our part to live a life of love and service and lift up other women so that the traditions remain strong and carried into future generations.
In this lifetime you are called to learn more, be more, and share more. I know you are up to the task, or you wouldn’t have found yourself reading these words.
A mediocre life is not for you.
Imagine How this will change YOU…
- Developing a healing practice for yourself and others that is deeply rooted in your life’s purpose.
- Collaborating with me as your mentor alongside your higher-self and Spirit to bring to life your work-life vision.
-
To have a magnetic “body of work that works.”
- Following the calling of Mother-Earth- knowing that you will find that magical missing piece that will
- To know you have worked hard to be a change-maker and a wisdom-carrier and are now seen as the
- To be inspired and inspiring to yourself and other women. To have offerings to share with the world that are needed and wanted today, right now!
-
To have gotten unstuck, to be leading other women in your own authentic style.
-
To be personally and professionally successful while staying true to yourself.
-
To be tapped into a lineage of teachings and teachers that nourishes you and to trust that the wisdom that is held there will carry you forward always.
-
To be seen. As You want the world to see you. With soft power and confidence, not propelled by ego.
-
To act, surrender and move out of your comfort zone as you unfurl the Inner Medicine Woman with wisdom, kindness, and self-love.
I am here to share significant wisdom teachings, concrete tools in herbal medicine, traditional healing practices, spiritual healing with plants, and how to work with yourself and others.
We will weave together your “body of work- that works.” I will help fill your cup with what you need to be successful in this world.
I will challenge you to grow through practical to-dos so you have the skills and confidence to succeed in this world.
We will Awaken the Medicine Woman in YOU.

BONUSES
Bonus #1 How to Open A Women’s Circle In a Way That Creates Connection and Feels Safe
Our opening circle is our first point of face-to-face contact with our group, and we always want to shine! I will share how I do my opening ceremonies and introductions so that I am at ease and others feel safe to share. My teachings and how-tos focus on YOU showing up and being authentic versus getting stuck in the need to look good. I’ll turn the seams inside out and show you what has worked for me and why. Authentic openings make for deeper sharing and connection, and they set the tone of respect for one another and you as the teacher. I’ll also touch on preventative problem-solving and the unique power dynamics that show up when women gather to heal and learn to lead.
Bonus #2 Top 5 Must-Know Herbs For The Medicine Woman: {Dandelion, Nettles, Sage, Yellow Dock and Lemon Balm}
Join me for a great set of Bonus Teachings. I will share with you the in-depth herb wisdom of 5 of my favorite plants. These are herbal teachings that begin with a Story Telling & Fun Facts on each of the herbs, leading to a full Materia Medica teaching on each medicine. When we study a plant in the traditional materia medica style, we cover common name, Latin name, part of the plant used as medicine, and the best form of herbal preparation. I cover dosing patterns (how much to take and at what frequency), specific indications (how we use the herb), and any contraindications (when and how not to use the herb for safety reasons). These bonus teachings also include fabulous recipes for each plant…Nettle Pesto, Lemon Balm Cordial, Yellow Dock High Iron Syrup, and more! You will be sure to discover if your love of herbs is fleeting or needs to become a full-time, life-long passionate pursuit like it continues to be for me.
Paid-In-Full Bonus - 2 for 1 Behind The Scenes Bonus Teaching: Understanding the 4-Phases of the Menstrual Cycle + How to Create Your Own E-Book
I call this a 2 for 1 Bonus because I will do two important things with you. Number one, I’ll walk you step-by-step through my “Understanding and Nourishing the 4-Phases of the Menstrual Cycle” E-Book to teach you the details every woman needs to know about how to spot problems in each phase of the menstrual cycle. We will cover how to use herbs and other helpful remedies to correct the imbalances we spot based on the new information we will now have. This information is foundational for working with women and will help you discover if you are passionate about this aspect of women’s health. After we cover the material, I will go back and show you the inside scoop on how to create an E-Book if you have never done it before. It is fun and easy and a powerful way to share information. We will look at how to organize ideas step by step and bring them to life in full color. This process is a fun adventure! With this information on n board, you can begin creating teaching materials to use with clients or as something beautiful you can sell.
What Actual Clients Say...
“I have been on a powerful journey for many years. Shelley’s teachings in Awakening the Medicine Woman
brought together all my loose threads as I call them and helped me gain clarity and focus in my work. I am a nurse by training but have always loved plants and healing work. Making a drum, doing all the reading and projects brought front and center to my life how important walking a feminine-led path is for me. I have integrated what I can into my nursing work, and I know that my days working inside the medical system are ending. I love the foundation I gained in herbal medicine in this program and am certain that is the path I want to follow. I am grateful for Shelley’s honesty and wisdom as she guided me along the path of self-discovery. I did this to heal myself and what it did was show me a whole new world of how I can help others.”

Hello Dear Medicine Woman In-The-Making,
More than anything, I want to see you succeed with your work in this world. I want you to thrive and to give the world what it so desperately needs right now.
Do you know what it needs? I bet that YES, you do. And your answer comes from deep inside of you. I know that you didn't just wake up one day and decide, hey, I want to be a Medicine Woman.
This calling has been brewing inside of you for a long time-one year or 40 years. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you heed the calling.
I can't make you listen to the voice that speaks to you, telling you to go for it. Nor can I (at this point) steer you clear of the voice of doubt.
However, I can share my experience with you of what it is like to follow your heart-felt, spirit-led visions for your life and cheer you on!

You will not be let down. You will not be dropped on your head when you follow your dreams.
Instead, you will be asked to step up and to show up. You will be asked to get real and to get to work.
You will be gently nourished by healing songs and lovely feminine-centered traditions.
You will be called to be a warrioress. You will be called to fight for what you believe in. You will be asked to dismantle oppression and to fight for the feminine.
You will be asked to remember. You will be asked to listen to the wind and to remember your dreams.
You will be called to play your drum, to lead yourself and other women home.
You will be called to see and be seen.
So, Let's do it for real!
