Megan Calabro
A Certified Health Coach with a background in the creative arts therapies. She completed her Master Health Coach certification through the Dr Sears Wellness Institute, with specializations in both Family and Pregnancy Health Coaching. She once read a quote hanging in the office of a holistic health practitioner that read, “The power that made the body heals the body - it happens no other way,” (author unknown). The truth in those words had a profound impact. As a mother of two, Megan witnessed first hand the struggles that many people experience when seeking medical care. In her quest for answers to how to manage a diagnosis of ADHD as a parent, Megan found guidance, answers, and peace through functional medicine - an avenue she wished she had known to explore. This initially led her to the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute, where Megan began her journey as a health coach. Her decision to pursue education in holistic health was then affirmed after a diagnosis of endometriosis, where Megan again found solutions and peace through natural medicine.
Megan has over 20 years of experience in healthcare, where she practices as a creative arts therapist. In addition to her health coach training and certification, Megan also has additional training in wellness, mindfulness, stress/anxiety management, non-pharmacological pain management, and the application of these techniques with children and adolescents. Megan is also actively seeking continuing education and certification in integrative and functional nutrition.
She firmly believes that faith and spirituality are at the core of health and healing, because after all - “The power that made the body heals the body - it happens no other way.”

Beverly Simmons
Beverley Simmons is a wife, mother of three young adults, and grandmother of one special gift from God. 37 years ago, after finally finding a doctor who listened to her, and did not accept what other doctors had been telling her, that her symptoms were “all in her head”, Beverley was diagnosed with having Crohn’s Disease. This diagnosis would bring about many challenges, but it also prepared Beverley for the calling God had on her life to use her gifts of teaching and service to help others dealing with chronic health conditions.
Beverley completed a Medical Missionary certification from Wildwood Lifestyle Center and Hospital located in Wildwood, Ga in March of 2010. This was her first step in learning how God designed the body to repair and rebuild itself. Throughout the years, Beverley has been learning from various books, doctors, seminars, and life experiences.
It was her own health journey and helping care for friends who had cancer, and both parents with chronic lifestyle diseases, that propelled her in the decision to become a Certified Health Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute.All she had encountered prior is now in a practical established program that she uses to educate others on how to live happy, healthy lives by focusing on the areas of Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude and Nutrition.
Using health principles found in God’s Word and nature, along with current medical information, Beverley’s clients are empowered to work within God’s design and understand that they are truly fearfully and wonderfully made. It all begins with the first step. One you can choose by partnering with Beverley to provide, education, support, accountability, and coaching.

Sherry W. Normand
Sherry Normand is a retired Registered Nurse and Master Certified Health and Wellness Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. Sherry focuses on adult and senior women who have experienced neglect and emotional abuse.
Sherry lives full of gratitude that God has allowed her to live long enough to witness the church and world finally understanding what damage is done to God’s people (women/men and children), when they experience early abuse and trauma in the forms of abandonment, neglect, rejection, and narcissism, no matter what the source!
Sherry feels grateful to be part of the Aurora Network Christian women’s platform and to be able to join with other Christian coaches to strengthen women as they learn to leave victimhood behind and reach for their own God given dreams and goals.
In the past few years, Sherry had the opportunity to coach with other professionals, but her own life required so much energy and life changing decisions that she took a sabbatical from coaching and focused on her own coaching and healing needs. What a sign of good mental health! Now, Sherry has even more experiences and understanding of women’s needs and is excited to share her experience and coaching with her Aurora Network clients!
Sherry desires to share her ‘Whole Life Coaching!” program with women who are just entering or deep into the second half of their lives. Women must wear so many hats and are expected to know so much about so much, that it’s easy to become buried in saving and serving others in this season, while becoming unclear about their own purpose and path for our final years here! If you’re ready to really accomplish work of substance, Sherry is equipped to help you heal, dream, and achieve.
Sherry engages clients with “Whole Life Coaching” connecting: Spirit, Soul and Body into one seamless life experience, where “everything affects everything” and change in one area has a domino effect in the other two! The system can be used for a lifetime! Sherry believes, you are a Spirit, managing your Soul, while living in your body.
