Sheri Lerat will no doubt leave you feeling emotional and inspired as you hear her story of reinvention. Her story of the grief and losses she faced in her life, yet her incredible resiliency and transformation through the power of healing is something we can all learn from. As she so beautifully expressed, "rebirth is the term I would use to convey this next stage of my life as I share my journey from cocoon to butterfly".

Sheri founded Karys Layne Candles as a tribute to the beautiful transformation that can be found through the power of healing. Her paintings and candles are as multifaceted and layered as her personal story; which include grief & loss, numerous preventative surgeries that challenged her form and confidence, codependency, and after her husband lost his battle with PTSD - the realities of being a young RCMP widow & mother. 

 Sheri Lerat embodies the spirit of resiliency. She walked away from her professional teaching career to pursue her own company which now displays her crystal infused artwork and delicately hand poured scented wood wick soy candles. Her belief that there truly is healing that takes place in the arts, as well as sharing our stories, and finding our tribe. It is a reminder that we are not alone.

3. You just have to look at nature. Diamonds are formed under pressure and the butterfly comes out of the cocoon, and a seed needs dark and it doesn't come up until its ready. 
4. Do something with that emotion, whatever that is. Whether that's something creative, exercise, or just taking time for yourself. Move the energy around and give it a healthy outlet.
5. Give yourself permission and patience.
6. People just need people. Its' so simple.  Find your tribe that holding space fo
