About Sherry:
 Sherry has always had a great love and
admiration for all animals. She believes the
animals that choose to be with us on our
journey through life can often times bring
great comfort, joy and enlightenment when we
connect with them on both the physical and
spiritual level. It is through this
connection we can become closer to the true
spirit and oneness of life.
In
2002, Sherry’s life changed forever when a
little dog named Alley Ann (she was found in
an alley hence the name Alley Ann) came into
her life. Sherry's neighbor, Deb, rescued
animals she found on the back streets of
Baltimore, nursed them back to health, then
adopted them out. When Deb passed away
suddenly, she left behind 6 dogs, 4 birds
and two cats in need of homes. Alley Ann was
one of those animals. When Sherry took Alley
Ann in, she had many medical issues and for
the next year and a half she spent
caretaking this loving spiritual being. It
was through Alley Ann’s life and ultimate
passing that the heart connection between
the two of them strengthened Sherry’s
realization that she had to move on.
 The deep spiritual bond Sherry experienced
with Alley Ann brought to the surface her
divine connection to the spiritual essence
of animals and opened the door for her to
fulfill her life’s mission. She began
her interspecies studies with animal
communicator Dawn Hayman of Spring Farm
Cares in 2003. For Sherry, it was like
coming home again to a place she had drifted
from by working in the business world.
Sherry became certified in canine massage
through Equissage, located in Virginia. She
has also taken and applies different energy
healing modalities such as
Healing Touch for
the Animals for canines and equines with
Carol Komiter, Ama Deus Energy Healing and
Reiki in her practice.
After 20 years in the direct mail marketing
industry, Sherry decided to leave it and
finally pursue her life long dream of
working with animals and their people. It
was her way of honoring Alley Ann and all
that she had given Sherry.
By creating Spirit Paws Alternative Animal
Wellness Services, Sherry’s goal is to help
people understand, appreciate and deepen the
human-animal heart connection. It is through
animal massage, animal communication and
connecting with the spiritual side of
animals that we are able to have a very deep
and heart felt relationship with our animal
companions. Sherry also has a strong
spiritual foundation based in the knowledge
that all life is created by one source and
that all life is sacred and is to be
respected.
 Her
love and passion for this work has created a
deeper level of compassion and respect for
our animal friends and for their people.
Sherry graduated from SUNY at Oswego in New
York and holds a Bachelors degree in
communications. She shares her home with her
two dogs, Addison and Maggie in the
Baltimore, MD area. |
