Shanelle is a health educator, holistic chef, health and wellness coach, researcher, herbalist, yogi, sound healer and artist.
Her lifelong interest in health and wellness is heavily influenced by her West Indian heritage but also due to the many different health conditions she personally faced over the years. Her desire to be well and happy led her to gain a wealth of knowledge in various healing modalities which brings her joy to share with others.
Shanelle was first taught herbal medicine, holistic cooking and healing from the women of her family. She was homeschooled until she went on to study at the University of Central Florida, where she received her B.S degree in Integrative Studies. In her studies, her concentrations were on biomedical, health and behavioral sciences and minoring in mass communication/leadership studies.
Her personal challenges with chronic illness during her academic years led her back to her roots and working with communities in need of her attention. After graduation, Shanelle worked as a private educator and behavioral coach for homeschooled children, K-12 and college students with diagnosed behavioral and neurological issues. `
After 11 years of working in educational spaces with various types of students, Shanelle realized a vital need for connection. An established connection to their innate ability to live, learn, find relief and gather positive life skills for healthier, happier lives.
Her desire to further the success and wellness of her students led her to start Cherish Wise. A resource for those seeking relief through self-empowerment and education.
Mission Statement
We all have individual, unique bodies and live our own unique lives. It is for this reason that health and wellness can never be "one size fits all".
I believe in the importance of cherishing our individuality, learning to care for our specific needs in ways that are accessible and align with our desired lifestyle.
The challenges I've faced in my life have taught me to embrace life as a journey of self discovery and mastery. If we stay open, our life experiences can gift us with special skills and abilities. Each challenge is an opportunity to adapt and learn how to unlock another special part of ourselves.
With every storm I've weathered, I've learned how to find balance, root and bloom once again.
I created Cherish Wise to serve as a resource for people, like myself, who required creativity, community and support in order to access the relief I wasn't able to find with conventional care models. I encourage my clients to look at their challenges from a bird's eye view. By utilizing the power of imagination, I teach how to unlock the potential of our experiences, to connect with who we desire to become in this life and how it aligns with our body/community/nature.
It brings me joy to be able to share my passion and what helps me to thrive despite the challenges life brings my way.
Cherish Wise is here to support your journey to good health, peace of mind and happiness.
I hope you stay tuned to our journey and I hope we can aid in yours.
Peace & Love.
Shanelle
