Biography
Today's Children are touching a place deep in my heart and before I present my
official bio, I would like to take the opportunity to Introduce two
very special children who have been instrumental in my own growth and
insistent in my involvement with Celebrate Today's Children.
My Baby Bear:
The Indigo Goddess: a beautiful Old soul who never forgot who she was.
At two as she sat in her car seat she used her tiny little voice to
claim her truth when she said " You weren't always the mommy. I used
to be the mommy and the mommy I had most is still in heaven!" I took a
deep breath and answered "Yes honey but this time you chose ME to be
the mommy!" At that moment I vowed to love, guide and support her as
well as respect, honor and learn from her.
My Shining Sun: The beautiful Crystal Star Child who came to this world so pure and enlightened without any baggage. As a toddler he taught me that "God is everywhere even in the darkness" and He taught me to feel passionately in the moment and then let it go. With "time" he finally helped me understand how to step out of the illusion of time and space to access all knowledge.
I am honored that these beautiful souls chose me to be their mother.

Education and Experience
Sheila
has a Bachelor’s Degree of Social Work (BSW) from Syracuse University
and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from the University
of Maryland. Sheila also received her certification in Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She has worked for Aurora of
Central New York as a play therapist for blind children and their
families and at a school for children with emotional and behavioral
problems. Sheila’s extensive experience also includes having worked as
a psychotherapist for individuals, groups, and families at SUNY Health
Science Center, Oneida Indian Nation Family Services and the Onondaga
Nation School. At Vera House, a shelter and advocacy program for people
affected by domestic violence, she worked as a therapist and community
advocate, supporting and empowering women and children in crisis
situations and in courtroom settings. Sheila’s education and experience
as a therapist have provided a solid foundation for and natural segue
into her work as a spiritual reader and healer.
Spiritual Background
Sheila
has always been intuitive but was not consciously aware of any
particular spiritual gifts she had while growing up. In college, she
learned to meditate and took courses in comparative religion, which set
her on a lifelong journey of spiritual practice and exploration. In
1992, through her work with Reverend Joan Lee at the First Congregation
of Infinite Light in Syracuse, New York, she became aware of her
ability to work with spirit guides and developed a deeper connection
with them. She took classes in healing and prophecy, used her gifts by
giving spiritual readings to members of the congregation, and
eventually gained a certificate in prophecy. In 1998, she branched out
on her own to do spiritual readings and healing work full time, and
received certification as an Ordained Minister through the Light of
Divine Truth Foundation.
Work with Clients
Sheila
Applegate is a gifted spiritual reader and healerand teacher. She is a
very high level intuitive and clairvoyant who can describe guides,
people, and situations with astonishing detail and accuracy. She is
able to clearly see the guides, angels, and Ascended Masters of her
clients, and facilitates communication between these guides and her
clients in order to provide information about their spiritual progress,
relationships, and other practical, everyday issues from a higher
perspective. This is an ability that Sheila has developed through years
of diligent practice, and one of her main goals as a teacher and
spiritual reader is to help others understand that they too, possess
this innate ability. She encourages them to learn to connect directly
with their own guides and spiritual teachers in the same way. Through
readings and classes with Sheila, her clients learn to develop and
trust their own intuition, and to use their spiritual readings with
Sheila as a means of empowerment. Sheila’s belief is that she is not
the source of healing, but rather the vehicle through which the
Creator’s energy flows.
