Hi, I’m Bonnie Sheldon 🙂

I am an Accredited Certified EFT Master Trainer, a somatics expert, and an embodiment coach. My mission is to guide individuals toward a life of ease, purpose, and prosperity—without compromising their health or personal relationships. My clients have included dancers, business professionals, and individuals seeking spiritual growth.

I am renowned for my capacity to aid individuals in overcoming diverse challenges. I have also worked with organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project, helping veterans with PTSD, and Trinity Cathedral in Miami. I have developed programs such as Heartbreak Rescue® for women undergoing divorce or separation

As Group Director at Young and Rubicam Brands, Inc., I was instrumental in taking Advil over the counter, making it accessible to millions, and enhancing accessibility and public health.

Having worked with over 9,000 clients in a lifetime of healing, I champion an embodied fitness/wellbeing paradigm that integrates an understanding of the mind-body connection. My corporate wellness work, unfolding in recent years, has also created a demand for my programs in the business world.

I love training people in EFT Tapping, mentoring professionals who want to add EFT to their toolkit with the assurance they’re trauma-informed and fully capable, and those looking for a new career as a Certified Accredited EFT Practitioner.

My uniqueness? Beyond my smile, I am a Princeton University Scholar from the first class that included women; I am a trailblazer in somatic healing and a dedicated mentor. With over 30 years of experience in dance, business, and spiritual Coaching, I have empowered countless individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.

I am not just saying this to impress you but to inspire you because I am a woman who has overcome significant health challenges. I’ve built a life of service and empowerment. Give me a call or message me here at The Wellness Universe. Together, we can make stress-free living and abundant health a reality.

For Coaching or career transformation, I’m here to help you make the next step. I have always been passionate about helping others and myself achieve wellness, happiness, and fulfillment.

More About Me:  My journey has taken me through various fields and roles, from dance to business to ministry to EFT. Along the way, I have learned from pioneers and experts, overcome challenges and obstacles, and touched the lives of thousands of people.  As a compassionate empath, I understand the difficulties life can bring, and I co-work with my clients to achieve a sense of self-mastery and ease of empowered mind and movement.

I started as a dancer and choreographer, studying at Princeton University while dancing in NYC. I faced difficulties with my dance performance due to physical disability caused by problems at birth, but I did not give up – I discovered the new, as yet un-named field of Somatics, which taught me how to experience and heal my body from within. I became a Body-Mind Centering Practitioner in NYC and continued my dance career while also studying with other somatic pioneers like Moche Feldenkrais. I later worked as a dance therapist at Bellevue Hospital and helped establish dance therapy as a profession at Hunter College.

When dancing became too physically challenging, I switched to business, joining Young and Rubicam Brands, Inc., the then world’s largest ad agency. In three years, I rose from account coordinator to Group Director.

Even as I became more physically disabled, I experienced a calling to return to service. I pursued ministry and training at Union Theological Seminary and the School for Ministry of the S.E. Florida Episcopal Diocese. I worked as a minister at Trinity Cathedral in Miami, where I founded and directed a program for homeless families with disabled breadwinners. I helped 300 families a year achieve safe homes and financial independence. By this time, I had long been diagnosed with Systemic Sclerosis with a 6-month prognosis but had already outlived that prognosis repeatedly and felt a deep surge of the life force within, enabling me to move beyond medical expectations.

I left the ministry for a wider theology as I had been studying meditation and yoga philosophy with my guru from India for 25 years at this point. So, I focused on helping people as a coach and mentor from a spiritual perspective that was no longer religion-specific and continued to work on my own health.

I became interested in Energy, becoming a Reiki Master and doing deep chakra work with my guru. I reinvestigated my studies of shamanism, working with contemporary shamans, going beyond the indigenous shaman work I had done early in my life.

It was through my always passionate search for out-of-the box health solutions that I discovered EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as ‘Tapping’ fairly early in it’s development as a methodology, started tapping in 2010. I became an EFT Practitioner as EFT became scientifically validated and found great joy in helping people overcome various issues, including veterans with PTSD in the Wounded Warrior Project. I created the Heartbreak Rescue program for divorced and separated women, serving hundreds of women who were rebuilding their lives.

It’s a joy to continue serving in the rewarding fields of health and wellness through individual coaching, group workshops and trainings, and corporate wellness programs.
