A heart for helping others

Hello, I’m Sherée.

Sherée Bergman is an author, certified life coach, speaker, and spiritual mentor who writes to help readers understand their stories, find hope in God’s truth, and take meaningful steps toward healing. Through her books and workbooks, she invites readers to explore how past experiences have shaped their beliefs, choices, and relationships—with compassion for where they have been and hope for what lies ahead. Her books offer a guided path toward healing.

Her writing grows from a deeply personal journey. Childhood emotional neglect and family dysfunction left wounds she carried into adulthood. Her experiences have included toxic relationships, chronic emotional abuse, divorce, single parenting, brain surgery, temporary blindness, and the traumatic loss of her mother. Through these difficult chapters, her relationship with Jesus Christ became her source of strength, healing, and renewed purpose.

In Start at Start to Finish Strong, Sherée draws from her own story and the truth of Scripture to explore the lasting influence of unresolved hurt. She encourages readers to look beneath familiar reactions and relationship patterns, consider the beliefs they have carried, and discover how understanding their beginnings can help them move forward.

Her companion resources, the Start at Start Transformation Guide and Start at Start Breakthrough Journal, offer space to make that reflection personal. Through guided exploration and writing, readers can consider their own experiences, recognize patterns, and prayerfully reflect on their next steps. These resources encourage readers to move at a thoughtful pace, giving themselves room to understand, process, and grow.

At the heart of Sherée’s work is a conviction shaped by her own life: painful experiences do not have to define the future, and no story is beyond God’s redemption. Her books offer encouragement to those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about where to begin. She writes with an understanding of the courage it takes to acknowledge hurt, question familiar patterns, and take a new step.

Sherée is also the founder of Heart to Heart Life Coaching in the Chicagoland area. Her certifications include Life Coaching, Christian Life Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Relationship Communication, Grief and Joy Restoration, HeartMath Coaching, and Christian Counseling. As an ordained minister and chaplain, she brings a foundation of faith and compassionate care to her writing, coaching, workshops, speaking engagements, and support group.

The promise of Romans 8:28 has sustained Sherée through seasons of uncertainty and loss. Its assurance that God works for the good of those who love Him continues to shape both her life and the encouragement she shares with readers. She believes that God can bring purpose from painful experiences and hope to chapters that once seemed beyond repair.

Sherée lives in Algonquin, Illinois, and is the mother of three adult children. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, writing, decorating, organizing, crafting, biking, glamping, and quiet walks with her two small dogs. Her years as a surgical technician in an animal clinic nurtured a lasting love for animals, and she now enjoys training her Yorkshire Terrier in agility.

Above all, Sherée treasures time spent with the Lord and believes that God is the Great Healer. Through every book and resource she creates, her desire is to remind readers that they are not alone, their stories matter, and their past does not disqualify them from a future filled with hope, connection, and purpose.
