Sharyn is the founder of The Lotus Rose Studio, a creative reflection space rooted in journaling, storytelling, and nature‑based imagery. Her work gently supports emotional awareness, self‑compassion, and resilience—with a focus on supporting those navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm.

Through guided journaling sessions, reflective prompts, and plant‑inspired stories, Sharyn creates calm, welcoming spaces where people of all ages can pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. Her approach blends creativity, mindfulness, and the symbolism of plants and seasons, offering accessible ideas for emotional expression without pressure, diagnosis, or the need to “fix” anything.

Sharyn’s work has been shaped by her own lived experience, including years of caregiving, navigating burnout, and learning how to listen more closely to her body, emotions, and inner rhythms. This personal journey is why she holds space the way she does, with care, patience, and an understanding that not everyone has words for what they are feeling.

She has found that the language of flowers offers a gentle, creative way to tell hard stories. Using plant symbolism has allowed her to speak about difficult experiences indirectly—creating enough space and safety for meaning to emerge. This approach has also supported her own therapeutic process, helping others better understand her story when words alone felt difficult.

Sharyn is not a licensed therapist and does not provide clinical mental health services. Her work is arts‑based and educational in nature, designed to complement—not replace—professional mental health care. She believes deeply in the power of small pauses and creative expression as meaningful supports for emotional wellbeing.

She lives and works in Maine, where the changing seasons continue to inspire her writing, programs, and belief that healing and growth happen in cycles—often quietly, and always in their own time.
