For the Heart that Yearns for More
You are not lost. You are listening.
Â
Does any of this sound or feel like you?
- I long for more joy, purpose and magic in my everyday life â but Iâm not sure where to begin.
- Iâm having dreams, noticing synchronicities, feeling nudges to âpay attention. I am curious.
- I want to feel more alive. Iâm not sure exactly what I believe, but I sense thereâs something greater calling me.
- The pace of life â and the weight of the world â can feel overwhelming. I crave grounding, calm, clarity.
- I am open to new experiences, as long as I feel safe, seen, and truly heard.
You're not alone.
In a world overflowing with self-care trends and spiritual teachings, itâs easy to feel lost in the noise. Where do you begin? Whatâs truly meaningful?
After more than 45 years devoted to the practice of compassionate, spirit-centered living, Iâve learned that the journey is rarely linear. It loops, spirals, pausesâand then surprises us with moments of deep truth. Along the way, Iâve been blessed with wise guides, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, and life lessons that humbled and transformed me.
Now, I offer that experience to you. Wherever you are on your pathâwhether you're just beginning to listen or ready to deepen what you already knowâI am here to walk beside you.
As a sacred practice guide, I support those who feel the call to reconnect with their inner wisdom, explore the unseen, and live with greater presence and purpose.
You donât have to do this alone. Letâs begin, together.
Cheryl
Start Simply
Sometimes joy is simply looking down and seeing your yellow boots in amongst the dandelions.
Begin with a breath. A cup of tea. A moment to listen within.
Savour each moment.
Being fully present in the now â as Eckhart Tolle would say â is the heart of how we consistently welcome more joy, calm, and groundedness into our lives.
Here are a few ideas to start you off:

Deepen Your Sacred Connection with Spirit, Nature, and Your Ancestral Roots
Awaken the Divine Within â Live into Your Highest Self.
Have you explored many spiritual paths, yet still feel something is missing â a deeper purpose, a more powerful connection, a sense of truly coming home to yourself?
- ÂI am ready to deepen, to remember the old ways, to reclaim my sovereignty.
- ÂMy life is good, but I canât shake the feeling that Iâm meant for something more. Why am I truly here?
- ÂI experience synchronicities and receive messages from Spirits and the Otherworld â now I want to learn how to open these Doors with intention.
- ÂIâm ready to release old, limiting patterns and reconnect with the ancestral gifts that have been buried or forgotten.
- ÂI long to embody my full self â whole, wise, and beautiful â and show up in the world from that place of truth.
- ÂI want to live an authentic life in alignment with natural cycles.
If this speaks to you, youâre not alone â and you're right on time.
Create a Sacred Practice that Resonates with You
Over the years, I opened many âDoors to the Divineâ to discover the sacred practice that would best fit me. What I discovered was a beautiful fusion of approaches and techniques drawn from many wisdom schools and faith traditions that together fill me with joy and peace.
For 25 years I walked my path as a solitary practitioner before I found a community I could call home. Looking back on over 45 years of this journey â journaling, experimenting, and synthesizing the essence of how I got to a place where I can consistently make daily choices aligned with my Highest Self â I can say that the experience has been alchemy in action, with me in the crucible!
Today I support seekers who are ready to:
- ÂDevelop and deepen their own sacred practice that feels authentic and life-giving.
- ÂReconnect with nature and ancestral wisdom.
- ÂLearn to communicate with Spirit safely and clearly.
- ÂTrust their Intuition and remember who they truly are.Â
I offer spaces and experiences that honour your pace and depth â hereâs how we can begin:

I have attended many of Cheryl's ceremonies and have always come away feeling more connected and knowledgeable. She offers such a wonderful, safe and inclusive space. She is thoughtful and kind and always includes the participants in the ceremony. Right from her welcoming email on what we can expect to the sharing of song lyrics to the follow up email after. She is a wonderful facilitator that truly loves what she does. I will attend as many of her gatherings as I can.

Cheryl is a wonderful teacher of mediumship and spiritual development. I have always admired her intelligence, integrity, compassion and most of all her wisdom and insight. I have deep respect for her as a colleague and I encourage everyone to attend her amazing classes and events with Doors to the Divine!Â
Maureen L., OttawaÂ
You can expect only thoughtfulness and care when engaging with Cheryl in either ceremony and/or spiritual medium readings. Cheryl sets a tone of comfort, trust and ease when connecting with her - something that is incredibly valuable as you navigate new terrain. Her ability to use plain language and dive into unpacking the messages alongside the person who is hearing it is invaluable. She takes time in describing what the process entails and shares her personal experiences to really drive home a message or the 'magic' of her work! I would highly recommend connecting with Cheryl and work. You will not regret it.
Bethany K., Charlottetown
As a recent participant in one of Cheryl's learning circles, I cannot recommend her enough as a genuinely knowledgeable guide for deciphering the language of spirit. She is such a kind-hearted, generous way-shower who takes a very practical, grounded approach to introducing the various ways in which we can engage with our higher selves and spirit. From sacred space to quantum physics (a subject she studied at the post-secondary level), Cheryl covers a solid foundation from which we can develop and/or continue our own personal practices, no matter our background.
I have also had the pleasure of attending many of the Celtic Fire Festivals she's held since October 2023. Her attention to detail in planning these events is meticulous, and her ability to weave together ritual and activity with wisdom that is both rooted in Celtic tradition and shared across cultures leads to such an enriching experience for those in attendance.
I am truly grateful to have met Cheryl, to have learned from her and, through her acquaintance, to have met other inspiring, like-hearted individuals in my local community.
Alexandra E., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I have known Cheryl for a few years and have attended a number of her workshops and events.Â
Cheryl is always happy to meet you and welcomes everyone no matter where they are in their spiritual journey. She takes the time to craft events that are meaningful and memorable. Every moment is intentional and this creates a safe space for all participants. She is aware and mindful of the energies within the space and supports them with loving kindness.Â
Thank you for sharing with us your curiosities and insights from the spiritual realm!
Elaine H.
Cheryl is incredibly conscientious and always ensures a spiritually and physically safe space is created at all of her offerings. Cheryl is patient and generous when sharing her knowledge. It is clear that Cheryl prepares thoroughly when leading trainings, and ceremonies and creates a space that is welcoming to all.
I have participated in trainings and ceremonies led by Cheryl and would recommend these to new and seasoned practitioners. Cheryl has also provided me with spiritual guidance and mediumship and I appreciated her kind and compassionate approach to relaying the messages that come through.
I consider Cheryl to be a friend, leader, and mentor, and highly recommend working with her.

The Calling Behind Cheryl and Doors to the Divine
When I founded Doors to the Divine in 2022, it was the natural fusion of two lifelong passions: sacred practice and education. With nearly 50 years of experience as a teacher, coach, and community change facilitator across Canada, the U.S., and Australiaâand a deeply personal journey exploring spiritual traditionsâI bring a unique blend of grounded wisdom and inspired guidance.
From teaching swimming in high school to leading retreats, from classroom instruction to coaching change-makers on complex social issues like homelessness and race, Iâve always sought to spark curiosity and growth. That same drive fuels my sacred work.
My Sacred Practice Framework emerged from decades of journaling, spiritual study, and lived exploration. Iâve travelled to sacred sites, taken countless courses, studied with Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, and gathered practices from many traditions to strengthen my own practice. Now I am living in service to support others finding their own way to the sacred.
What You Can Expect with Me:
- Practical wisdom: I believe in starting small and staying consistent. Five minutes a day is more powerful than an occasional deep dive.
- Spiritual inclusivity: All pathsâall Doorsâlead to the Divine. The key is finding the one(s) that resonate with you.
- Sovereignty over authority: Iâm a guide on the side, not a sage on the stage. Your inner knowing always leads the way. Trusting our own inner wisdom is key.
- Purpose as a compass: When you know your purpose, choices become clearer and life flows with greater ease.
- Mindfulness and gratitude as foundations: My mindfulness journey began with Chado, ritual Japanese Tea Ceremony. My daily journaling begins with what I am grateful for.
- A love for magic and mystery: I have learned to lead with my heart and follow with my head â to find flow, we need to be open to the unexpected, the counterintuitive, and the paradoxical. I look for flashes of joy at every opportunity.
Whether you're new to spiritual practice or deepening an existing path, I meet you where you areâwith compassion, clarity, and care.
Doors to the Divine Sacred Practice Framework Š 2020
Sacred Practice is what we do on a regular basis to make sure we live into our Best Selves, the Divine in Us.
This Sacred Practice Framework is presented in a linear way to make it easier to understand and work with. In real living, each step is not discrete. For example, I have experienced many moments of Awakening that have taken me deeper into understanding my Purpose.Â

Frequently Asked Questions For Those Starting Simply
Iâm new to thisâdo I need to know anything before trying your offerings?
Not at all. Everything I offer is beginner-friendly and designed to meet you where you are. You donât need prior knowledgeâonly curiosity and an open heart.
What if I am not committed to developing a sacred practice?
No problem. I went through a 10-year butterfly period after leaving the mainstream religion I grew up in. In my experience we need a period of âtrying things onâ for resonance before we know what fits.
What if Iâm not sure what my spiritual path is yet?
Thatâs perfectly okay. Thereâs no âone right wayâ here. I practiced for 15 years before I felt drawn to name my spiritual path. In my experience there are many doors all leading to the same place â hence Doors to the Divine. My work helps you gently explore what resonates with you, in your own time and rhythm.
Is your work religious?
No. The sacred practice framework I developed is not dependent on following a particular lineage or tradition. My approach is inclusive as well as nature and ancestor-based. I draw from many wisdom traditions, but I donât promote any single belief system. Your spiritual sovereignty is always honoured.
How do I know if I am progressing?
This work is not about performance, but about how you feel: calm, clear, aligned, inspired. If you find yourself experiencing joy and being grounded more consistently, itâs âworkingâ!
Where should I begin?
Start with the Ritual Guide gift (link) to create your first meaningful practice, or book a gentle coaching session (link to contact page) to explore your next step.
For Those Creating a Sacred Practice that Resonates with You
I already have a spiritual practiceâhow can this help me?
What I offer can complement and deepen what youâve already built. Many experienced seekers find renewal through ancestral reconnection, nature-based rhythm, and my Sacred Practice Framework. I invite you to consider, âWhat is next for me? Do I feel the need to re-energize? Does something feel missing?â
What if I feel in transition or a bit disconnected?
Youâre not alone. Thresholds are liminal places where the magic and mystery is strong. Whether itâs a shift in your practice or your identity, I hold space for that unfoldingâhelping you realign with your next rebirth.
Do you support people with specific spiritual paths or traditions?
Yesâwith deep respect. Whether you're grounded in a lineage or follow an eclectic path, I honor your experience and offer tools that enrich what you're already doing.
How can I go deeper with your work?
Join the Celtic Realms Retreat in 2026 (link), explore the upcoming Sacred Practice Framework course, or book 1:1 coaching (link) to clarify your next steps and integrate new layers into your practice.
Iâve been practicing solo for yearsâhow do I know if this space is right for me?
As someone who walked a solitary path for years, I understand the need for spaciousness. My experiences and courses attract kindred spirits who value depth, sovereignty, and sacred connection. Youâre welcome to explore at your own pace.
I have many experiences with Spirits who randomly visit me â is this normal?
When we are children, we have a natural ability to connect and be in communication with Spirit beings â from loved ones who have died, to guides, to nature elementals. We are taught to discount these relationships as âimaginary friendsâ and the like. Think of this communication as a natural and forgotten language that can be reclaimed.Â
