About Me

Dr. Shermnae

Dr. Shermnae is an Abundant Life Path Certified Master Coach, speaker, and author. She is a dentist by trade, involved in patient care for over 15 years. During this time she has treated many patients from all ages who struggle with dental anxiety and phobia, primarily due to trauma from previous experiences. She applied various behavior management techniques to help patients overcome these mental barriers to treatment.

Over time Dr. Shermnae discovered her gift of helping others process traumatic events. She began to work with others outside of the dental setting, offering advice, encouragement, and helping develop plans for those individuals to live more fulfilling lives. Through helping others – and seeing their success – she realized that she was called for a greater purpose…to help people live their best lives – out loud!

People assume that because I am doctor, my life has been easy; nothing could be further from the truth.
My Story

I have had quite a journey through this life, and it is not the life many would expect of “a doctor”. Most people would be in disbelief if I told them that I went through, emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse from a young age; that I survived being raped as a teenager; that I figured out my way through college and graduate school only to enter a career where I was unhappy, unfulfilled, and made me physically sick; that I’ve dealt with relationships and a marriage where I was abused, exhausted, and just plain miserable; that I was also battling depression and anxiety while still moving forward. My self esteem took a beating during all of this, yet I was still expected to be my best self – in the office, in relationships, and in my mind.

This is only PART of my story.
Yet, I am here. I survived it ALL. With a smile on my face. And YOU can too!

I used to have many regrets and grieve so much of my life because of the things that happened to me; now I realize that I went through these things so that I could help someone else. The process that I went through to heal and thrive despite the circumstances is what I am here to share with you. I follow a few simple rules that I call “My 5 Keys to Living”:

E

Be vulnerable enough with yourself to change your story.

E

Allow yourself to forgive. This includes YOURSELF.

E

Uphold your standards.

E

Push forward.

E

ALWAYS choose YOU.

There IS life after traumatic events. There IS purpose to your life. There IS a way that you can be happy in a career where you feel discontent – and if you want, there IS a way out! As your coach, I will help you get clear on what your goals are and what you wish to achieve. We will work together to address all worries, fears, and doubts that prevent you from living the life of your dreams.

Let me show you how beautiful and powerful you already are!
