What my clients say
I have worked with many clients over the years, men, woman, teens and children who have come to me for many different reasons as I have expressed in the pages of this site. Here are some stories and testimonials from them. Enjoy!
"Thank you for a life changing experience, totally amazing!"
"You are a living example of being in the moment and flowing with Grace. Truly an inspiration, thank you with all my heart"
"Your truth is astounding, I feel very privileged to have met you"
"I can't believe that I feel so well, from being overweight, depressed and suicidal to this in only a matter of months, incredible, truly incredible"
"Thanks for the amazing journey, a veil has been lifted, that which was pushed down is being reintegrated and welcomed into my life and I am really happy to be feeling whole again bumpy bits and all!"

“First time I met Soreya (Sheree) was on a group session... I was open to new things and had no idea what a huge healing was waiting for me. As soon as she started saying first words of light language I felt like a river or sorrow, grief leaving my stomach pouring out through my eyes leaving my body.
I felt like old stuff that I held was uncontrollably pouring out and leaving my body. I couldn`t hold it anymore, stop it or suppress it.. The channels were open and my ego had no longer control and had to let go... Since this healing occurred I started realising more and more about how much I hold in my body and learned to let it go through screams, cry, dance... I have learned to be raw, true and stop telling lies to myself.... Something profound happened that transformed my thinking and the way I look at the world... I will forever be grateful for the gift of meeting Soreya and having her in my life to guide me back to me....”
love you darling soooo much!!!!!

Dearest Sheree,
I had heard about your work before I even met you. I was told by a good friend that I needed to see you, I was very sceptical and anxious, hence the reason we only met a year later.
Before meeting Sheree I was told I was demon possessed, I was at the lowest point of my life and I was crying out for anyone to save me.
I grabbed Sheree's card called and set up an appointment, not to sure of how or what I was going to feel, but knew that my depression needed to be heard. I was for sure sinking and getting deeper into a place I know longer knew.
When the day arrived for us to meet I was anxious but I had nothing more to loose.
Sheree was nothing what I had expected she was carm,caring and the biggest thing for me, was she was not at all judgmental..
She listened as I cried,and even cried with me.
She lay me down to get me comfortable, I could feel that she had a passion in helping people,I was totally relaxed. I spoke and opened up to her about everything, Sheree encouraged me to go deep into that pain, as I was doing that she had her hand above my heart, and the next minute she started speaking in SOUL LANGUAGE!!!
The more I opened my self up to her,the easier it was for her to work on me.. After a 2 hr session I drank some water and I swear this to you, I floated out of her office.. That night I slept so peacefully and the following day I was ALIVE...
I felt confident again, I smiled all the time, and all these amazing gifts started to come my way, I never slept during the day no more, I heard and felt the singing of birds something's we so take for granted..
I have now started a course with Sheree called the AWAKENING, it's with a group of 10 other women all going through hard times.
Sheree is a total angel of light, and the best thing about her work is you will never go back to that place of pain you were once at..
She calls all the time to check in with all her clients to see where they at and what is coming up for them..
Her work is so hard to explain to someone who has never experienced it..
Sheree takes you from the darkness back into the light, and nothing is ever the same again I call it a MIRACLE...
Sheree brings you back from the person you lost, the person you never liked the person in a deep dark pain, her light work and her guides have made me so grateful, I got a second chance of life..
My Sheree is a true soul angel, with so much love and compassion..
Her work is light clear and to be able to be completely aligned with once heart and soul is truly a blessing and gift.
I could go on forever, I highly recommend anyone going through something in there lives even a break up, to go see Sheree..
All my love and light to this amazing,unique,abundance of light and love you Sheree
Much love Mands.

Testimonials from our recent ReAwakening Women retreat in New Zealand
"I stepped into this experience wanting something in my life to change. These things, achievements and tasks left me feeling empty and lost, striving and accomplishing great things meant nothing in the end. I searched. I adventured. I resisted. I ran. I hid. This weekend challenged me to face into what I was hiding from. Stepping into this felt too hard. Unknown froze me with fear. With gentle encouragement ~ eyes that see who I am under it all, patience, kindness. I am sitting in my own stillness ~ something that once felt unreachable. Something inside me is gently reminding me:
I am here for a reason. I am exactly where I need to be.
My struggle is not unknown ~ others feel these things too! In my vulnerability and sharing I can see all parts of me. I have nothing to be ashamed off! All parts of me are welcome. I don't have to change me. I LOVE my vulnerability, my power, my courage to be real. I am grateful for the reminder of WHO I AM."
"A beautiful place to come for finding yourself. It was wonderful to feel comfort, love, compassion, strength and humility. Wonderful women and wonderful Sheree. Will be at the next one. Much love & kindness & big hugs with thanks!"
"In a loving and safe environment I have contacted 'The Vault' inside me. I thought I was saving myself from being hurt again but instead I locked away my greatness. Not only did I contact this place but I opened it, looked at it, learned to love it and now I have access to my greatness and I am greatness. And I allow myself to be ME."
"If you would like the opportunity to discover what is deep down from within in a safe and open environment; this weekend away with Sheree is the perfect place to awaken the magic inside. A place where it is okay to be you, to reconnect, to share, to laugh and to live. I leave this getaway with everything I need. I feel fulfilled, loved and invincible. Recommended to all wanting or needing to escape, the result will be grounding and satisfying."
"Dear beautiful goddess Sheree, I feel so blessed to have been guided to your retreat. I have found myself and awakened parts that I haven't been listening to for years. Now I feel like I have found new strength and friends that are going to help me walk my path of life. I found self love that was hidden away, power that was not used and wisdom that hasn't been listened to. Thank you for holding the space with love, gentleness, patience, yet with strength and power that opened my heart and my whole being to light and truth. I can finally see what was in my way to be whole and powerful and now I choose to not play games, tell stories or be a victim. I choose the truth and love. Forever grateful!"
"This weekend was amazing. Sometimes it was painful and difficult for me to express my deepest, inner feelings. I felt so many different emotions. It's been an amazing adventure like nothing I've ever experienced before. Thank you so much for allowing me to see the light again and to find freedom, strength and love within me."
"This weekend has been a surreal and profoundly unique experience. At times confronting and extremely challenging, but all guided by love and support. Ultimately bringing out the pureness that is womanhood. Bringing me to peace and trust in this moment exactly where I am is exactly where I need to be. Trust the body and the heart, not the mind ~ for ultimately the heart is truth and an open heart is beauty in its simplest form."

Testimonials from our recent Melbourne retreat
"If you come with expectations, they will be stripped away, along with all that you're ready to let go of. In Sheree's company prepare to be held, allowed, pushed in a way that encourages you to fly to be free. If you have resistance to that, bring that too. Sheree welcomes it all" Karen
"this weekend has provided me with a space to let my mind settle, to let thoughts come and go without worry or need to hold onto the weight they bring, but to breathe deep and feel. I have reconnected with my playful honest and powerful inner child" Stephanie
"Here is a safe space to reflect and be without judgment - and from there find calm and clarity." Cat
"I feel broken open, I feel lighter because I let go of so much, and heavier because I'm now more in touch with a deep sadness in me which I feel at peace with. It will heal when it's read. I feel more trusting of life and myself. The retreat was a challenging experience but completely fulfilling, just what my soul has been calling for so that I transform. I feel like a deeper person. My perspective on life feels more loving and accepting of everything just as it is. Deep deep thanks." Hayley
"This weekend was an intense calling for my authentic self to awaken and come out to the real world, where I need it. It was beautiful to share this process with other women and just being away from the world in nature. I'd like to deeply thank Sheree and all the sisters for the support and love given out with such abundance." Cynthia
"I feel so blessed to have come across Sheree and to have gone on this journey with all my sisters. Not only have I gained what I came for (even though I wasn't sure what that was), I gained so much more. I've never felt as safe, accepted, loved and cared for in all my life, outside of my grandma's hugs that is. Everything from the relaxed nature of the weekend, the intenseness of the work, to the beautiful surroundings, amazing homestead and food, hugs and looks from Sheree of reassurance, to the amazing girls I also shared the space with - I felt at home. It was an amazing experience I will never forget and will do again when I feel the calling." Justine
"Upon walking in, the story I held, the insecurity, the vulnerability, was welcome and loved and most important seen for what it is. I now know that when I share these feelings I give it light, and they are acknowledged. I set them free! Awakening for me shows me everything I am made of plus a whole lot more from the Universe. I feel safe, nurtured, held and the love from this weekend fills me abundantly. I have gone deeper than I ever knew existed. Thank you Sheree for holding the light, sharing the love and allowing magic to happen" Saffron

Depression Gone in 3 Days
Before I went to stay with Sheree I was in a extremely dark & fearful place, I was severely depressed and suicidal. I was doing everything I could to mask the pain and emptiness I felt.... Excessive & dependent drinking, over eating & self harming. I was dependent on these self destructive ways of living .
My mother found Sheree after I asked & begged for help I had reached my rock bottom, I wasn't living anymore, drinking all night & sleeping all day. I felt so utterly shattered as if broken into a million little pieces and had no way or knowledge of how to cease the pain.
When I first met Sheree I was still very much a skeptic, negative & sarcastic. Unwilling to let go and accept that she could help & that this could work. After intense lows and extremely raw emotions by the end of the first day there had already been a shift in my mind & emotions without me knowing it happened & no way of stopping it.
By the end of our time together I felt in a way and place I never thought possible & had previously been too scared to allow myself to believe it was possible. I had a fresh clean slate & a new blueprint.... I know this is the start of my journey but I've been awakened and energised and for the first time I am genuinely excited about what the future will bring.
For this I will be forever indebted & internally grateful to Sheree.
She has profoundly altered the whole course of my life in the best possible way.
Sheree is a truly beautiful soul.
With all my love

This from a young women requiring clarity
My first day went really well, I was relaxed, balanced and in a really good space. The rest of my weekend was busy but really good, I am honestly feeling like such a new person after our session. Something has certainly shifted. My mind is so much calmer, the constant chatter has slowed down and I truly feel myself coming from a real place of love. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for that!
Finding my Light / Truth / Healing
I've been seeing a psychologist for about 9 months now because I want to find the true/real me, and what I achieved in 27 hours with Sheree Carbery was....... well there are no words to describe what has happened, basically years of work was done in that time. My mind doesn't understand a lot of it but my soul does. I was ready to step up, to begin to find myself, I've been in my own prison for years stuck in chains, yes there was massive resistance, but I cried a million tears, raged like an animal, found my warrior, found my soul, forgiven myself, surrendered, persevered, felt my soul expand out to the universe, I found my love for myself, I started to accept myself and massive healing took place. The world is going very slow as everything sinks in, as truth sinks in, love and acceptance sink in, and as forgiveness sinks in, a completely new space, I can actually feel inner peace. Thank you for being true to your calling my friend, the world needs lots of your gift. You know those times in your life when you know that you will never be the same again, well that was one of those!!

This from a mumma who required a little direction
Sheree facilitates powerful soul satisfying transformation. Truly a light worker, who heard my soul's call. She is professional yet sisterly in the way she works with humility and love. Her life experience and wisdom calumniate to provide a safe space where I found a reconnection to the oneness of myself and all. Oh... and in a magical way Sheree draws the FUN out!

This from one of my dear clients - from depression to delighted
"Sheree Carbery is a very gifted individual with a deep understanding of human nature. She works everyday to help individuals push past their self created barriers and helps them start to realise their incredible potential. Sheree's business success is due to her absolute belief in what she is doing, how she is doing it and the very creative and engaging way she achieves her goals. Her courage and integrity is exemplary."

From a 43 year old man - overweight, toxic, heartburn to VIBRANT HEALTH
"When I met Sheree I was overweight, had heartburn, was on Losec, had adult acne, my breath stunk, I felt like crap, had low self esteem and didn't really like myself much. Sheree opened my eyes to something I had no idea about, the acid/alkaline balance. In just a few weeks all my symptoms had disappeared and it was so simple. I have dropped 8kgs, feel fantastic, look great and I've introduced a whole new healthy eating regime into my life. The value that this has brought to my life has been absolutely priceless, I wish I had known about this years ago."

From a 50 year old woman - self destruction, alcoholism, depression to JOY
When I first came into contact with Sheree, I was at a very low ebb. I had suffered from depression from my adolescent years, but over the past decade this had grown progressively worse. I had seen a number of counselors but nothing seemed to help. At the suggestion of one counselor and, in a bid to lift my self-esteem, I undertook full-time university study which, while rewarding, did nothing to address the root causes of my depression. Intellectually, it was wonderful. Emotionally, of course it made no difference.
There were some issues (sexual abuse, abandonment) which kept coming back to haunt me, things I would try to keep contained as they were too painful to deal with. I was using drugs and alcohol to prop myself up, a surefire way to make things worse. I left my husband (but had to take myself with me) and so, of course, that didn't help, either.
I first encountered Sheree on Facebook as a "friend of a friend". I believe God led me to her. I noticed that she ran self-awareness courses for women in New Zealand and wondered if something like that might help me. I was in a very dark place when I summoned the courage to contact Sheree via Facebook, and she was very encouraging. A free Skype session, in which I explained the way I had been feeling, and I was convinced that Sheree could give me the answers I so badly needed. I had been afraid of facing my demons, but during sessions with Sheree, both over SKYPE and in person, I was able to bring my fears to the surface and deal with them. It was as if a giant weight had lifted off me. Sheree taught me meditation techniques which have invaluable in keeping me calm and focused. Best of all, I gave up drinking completely. Where once I had not been able to go for even a day or two without a drink, with Sheree's help I have now been sober for four months! And I don't miss it at all! She's also given me some help with my diet.
Sheree's program has helped to facilitate a cleansing of my mind, body and soul. I have more work to do but feel the best I have in years. Sheree is compassionate, focused and dedicated. She has helped me change my life.

Testimonials from workshops/retreats
"Thanks for helping me evolve and emerge, fantastic."
"Thank you for your loving energy and your intuitive wisdom."
"What an amazing experience. I can honestly say I have emerged brilliant. Thank you"
"Oh my stars! Fear was in the room. WOW! What an incredible journey and with such wonderful women, thank you so much."

"Thank you so much for creating this and for gifting me the opportunity to be a part of it. I feel so calm, feminine, safe, nurtured, nourished, cherished and loved. I thank you all for this. And I will be forever grateful for my experiences this weekend."
"Tonight with Sheree I was able to shut off the chatter in my mind and allow much of my inner expression to come up. The things that words are lost on. These are energetic things, held in my body. Deep longings to be seen, to be allowed to be present, to be held, protected, encouraged and to be nurtured. In this Sensuality workshop, Sheree did an incredible job at making the space safe to be physically and sensually vulnerable. We were allowed to ask others for what we needed. To be able to articulate deep needs is, for both men and women, extremely liberating and life affirming. It allows for people to connect at a deeper, loving level. Thank you & blessings." Imogen, Melbourne
From a dear Melbourne Sister post ReAwakening Women
I have been watching Brene Brown's Ted talks on shame and vulnerability, about owning your story is the bravest thing you will do and how it will set you free. I wrote this as a step to owning my story, to accepting my journey. Brene says that what shame needs to thrive is secrecy, judgement and silence. Shame cannot exist with empathy. This is a leap of empathy for myself, my journey, my spirit, and my struggles. Thank you!!!
ReAwakening Women Retreat Melbourne - During the journey with Sheree and 12 courageous women, I have experienced the power of opening to transformation.
The challenges that I have experienced for the past 10 years have been labelled many things, including hypersensitivity, anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. My experience of this time has been one of a deep loneliness, shame and isolation. My mind trying so hard to understand why, what, and how, to fix my broken, needy self, alone and unfit for love. It is ironic and perfect that my name Amanda means “worthy of love” in Latin. My journey has been one of seeking connection, and was often expressed as being a pleaser, and a seeker for approval from others. I am driven and can achieve what I set my mind to, often obsessively. I have an enormous capacity for generosity and love, and have been blocked from experiencing this love within myself.
I have been on many retreats and workshops over the years, and have found them to be helpful. The nature of my disconnection to self and fear meant that after returning home the patterns remained. My experience of ReAwakening Women was beyond words, beyond language and beyond what my mind can comprehend. I am grasping the meaning of the quote. “You must lose your mind to come to your senses”. I feel like the retreat had such a capacity to provide a space that gave permission to express, to explore, and to dive into the uncharted waters of my soul, spirit, emotions and body. A moment that stands out to me was hearing the words: “You are not broken, you don’t need to be fixed, and there is nothing wrong with you.” Learning to be in my vulnerability and to be a friend to myself has set me free. I have found a place in myself that I can reside, a safety and a trust that I can’t remember experiencing ever before. It has been three weeks since. Life is offering the same challenges, I am experiencing the same emotions and patterns. The difference is that I don’t need to fight myself, I don’t need to change or be fixed. I am home now, I am here in myself and I am not alone. No matter what happens I am okay.

ReAwakening Women Retreat Melbourne - During the journey with Sheree and 12 courageous women, I have experienced the power of opening to transformation.
The challenges that I have experienced for the past 10 years have been labelled many things, including hypersensitivity, anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. My experience of this time has been one of a deep loneliness, shame and isolation. My mind trying so hard to understand why, what, and how, to fix my broken, needy self, alone and unfit for love. It is ironic and perfect that my name Amanda means “worthy of love” in Latin. My journey has been one of seeking connection, and was often expressed as being a pleaser, and a seeker for approval from others. I am driven and can achieve what I set my mind to, often obsessively. I have an enormous capacity for generosity and love, and have been blocked from experiencing this love within myself.

Space to Cry, Heal and be Empowered
Being a woman, in a patriarchal society has shaped me
to strive to be a super women.
Taking on both tasks of the care-giver and the protector of home.
Not allowing myself to flaw, or simply just BE, I stored up a lot sadness and negativity. Being that super-woman
I forgot how to trust that someone can deal and handle my inner scream.
When I first met Sheree she resonated something deep in me.
Living out her inner and outer Goddess, holding the space with gentle care and a firm hand.
I felt she had it figured out!
I asked to have a session with Sheree, cause she heals on intuition rather than a "set XY formula . She sees you. She sees you as a human that needs to express yourself, rather than you "having a problem" or being "sick".
Every session is personalised.
I could weep without guilt.
I woke up out of a trance state of mind, feeling exhausted, but free. Knowing it is ok to feel overwhelmed.
Reborn and empowered.
A Goddess.
And feeling ready for the next part of my journey
I hope many more can rejoice and benefit from the gifts of this wonderful Goddess.
Love and Light

A writing from another
A fiery flame of divine light burns bright among the goddess, coming with their wounds... or not perhaps with wings a little worn coming with their passion pride unsheathed slipped off and cast aside like a no longer fashionable fur coat and here we are together with our oneness reclaiming the flame refinding the devine and it was you who saw it as important... thank you for sensing this as a need for all women.
