About Us

Sharon Ann Rose is an award-winning author, ceremonialist, and hypnotist who has spent more than three decades walking beside women at the thresholds of being human.

Her devotion is simple: helping women remember themselves.

What she offers isn't coaching. It's older than that. It comes from the way women have always passed down wisdom: not by teaching it, but by embodying it. By the way their presence lets something in you fully exhale.

Women find her in the in-between seasons: a marriage ending, a midlife awakening, grief, burnout, menopause, a body asking to be heard. Through conversation, ritual, and deep inner listening, she creates a space to set down the expectations and identities they've outgrown, and meet what is beautiful and true underneath.

She doesn't offer formulas. She offers presence: warm, wise, honest, and unwavering in its compassion. It's what women remember most. It rests on a lifetime of study in ceremony, archetypal wisdom, ancestral healing, contemplative traditions, earth-based spirituality, and transformational mentoring.

She wrote Faces of the Mother: A Feminine Path to Embodiment through Ancient Wisdom, Archetypes and Soul Fertility, and now teaches The Aliveness Process™, a path back to self-trust, inner safety, and a body you can live in.

Stop. Breathe. Pause. Rest. Relax.

You do not need to become someone else.

How We Got Started

As the youngest of 4 daughters, I grew up watching women closely.

I witnessed their intuition, creativity, heartbreak and strength. I also witnessed how the feminine way of knowing was overlooked in favor of striving and proving.

I was always drawn to the deepest layers of life. I wanted to understand what lived beneath people's stories. Why we suffer. How we heal. What allows a human being to come fully alive.

For more than 30 years, I've explored feminine wisdom traditions that help us remember who we are beneath fear, conditioning and self-abandonment. Along the way, I've walked many of the same thresholds my clients face: loss, motherhood, relationship changes, health challenges, spiritual awakenings and the humbling process of beginning again.

Over and over, life has brought me to this same realization: what we're seeking is rarely found by becoming more.

It's found by returning.
Returning to what's alive within us.

This is what has shaped me, my life and work.

(more) Wow! What incredible shares here, to a well posed question. Thank you Cyndi.  Do I dare share my secret...? 😂  With over 30 years in the field of women's transformation and spirituality, my unique ingredient lies in my intuitive and fierce ability to create a safe, nurturing space where women explore and reclaim their inherent wisdom and feminine power. Growing up the youngest of 4 girls, I gained deep insight into the invisibility, pain and restriction that the female body has carried, and the shame she feels for loving herself, appreciating herself, and taking care of herself. By honoring her body's knowing, I use intuitive wisdom to provide sincere reflection and practical tools, guiding women through transformative rites of passage to help them navigate transitions with grace. This deep, inner connection to authentic feminine essence sets my work apart. Thanks for asking! 🌹
