Clairvoyant since early childhood, Sherry grew up in a family where "ESP" type experiences were not unusual.  Still, Sherry’s deep need to understand what was happening to her, brought her to the doorstep of a psychiatrist, hoping for some concrete answers to her personal struggle with paranormal experiences.

Supportive of Sherry's concerns, the doctor was exceptionally interested in and open to her experiences and perceptions. As a result, she spent several years working with and for him and other medical professionals, as a "sensitive," assisting him in gaining, what he felt, were special insights into medical and psychiatric problems. Her interests led her to become one of the first persons in the United States to be certified as a Biofeedback Technician, in 1973.

Over the past three decades decades, Sherry has continued to explore the untapped potential of the human spirit, at times working with medical professionals, therapists, writers, scientific researchers, engineers and other interested persons. Her lucid dreaming workshop is recommended by a respected research scientist for its easy, yet highly effective techniques. She is currently certified as an advanced clinical hypnotherapist, licensed as a massage therapist and is a member of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists.  In 2001, after people kept asking if she could officiate at their wedding, Sherry became ordained as a Minister in the non-denominational Universal Life Church. 

The simple techniques she shares in her workshops place the focus on developing clarity and the recognition that each Soul is already receiving Divine Guidance, on a daily basis. With practice, comes the growing development of new awareness. The results are often a whole series of personal experiences which provide practical, and at times seemingly magical, insights. A prolific author, Sherry has written several workbooks, as well as a profusion of articles on these subjects.

Sherry owes her strong streak of practicality to her background in business. She has owned several different small businesses, and just retired as the General manager of Norman Brumm & Co., Inc. whose galleries specialize in nature inspired art & gifts and had an extensive collection of crystals and minerals.   Sherry has long been interested in the potential of the internet for commerce, and is active in online buying and selling on eBay and other web sites.

Sherry is a busy wife and mother. She and her husband Steve Merrell, live with her twenty year old daughter, Jaimee. She also has three adult step-children: Brenda, 24 married to Jeff Clah with their infant daughter Isabel; Tammie, almost 23 who has a 2 year old daughter, Destiney; and Andy, 25.

Sherry  loves animals and has several pets including 10 dogs, 1 cat several fish 3 African Dwarf Frogs and dozens of birds.  Wherever Sherry goes, a dog or three will  likely be following. <G>
