Our Story
Angela Sheehan, RN, BSN,
Director of Ark of Wellness,
Health Educator and CollaboratorTransforming Health one level at a time!
My name is Angela Sheehan.I'm a wife and mother of three and focused on holistic wellness.
I am very grateful to my husband, Britt, for his support and dedication to the vision we are casting at the Ark.I have been a nurse since 2006 with a diverse history of experiences in this field including cardiac care, hospice, quality review, regenerative medicine...My 10 years as a Hospice nurse gifted me with Amazing experiences and opportunity for Spiritual grow and learning.
I am blessed to have connected with the healing community in my area who support this natural environment for education and detoxification.I specialize in helping people find connections between the mind, body, spirit and emotional aspects to balance, utilizing the 5 levels of healing.
I am passionate about working with each person one-on-one or in small groups to establish pathways to holistic wellness.
I have extensive knowledge in the relationship between mental, emotional, spiritual links to dis-ease and using biofeedback and other natural modalities to recognize and release emotional blocks that contribute to physical symptoms.I believe WE have the ability to heal, and God has imprinted each of us with the divine spark.
As we ground and return to simple truths we find the pathway to Wellness and Balance.The Ark of Wellness is a Vision that began in 2011 and God has weaved it together since 2020.
I am humbled to see it come together and give Glory to God’s perfect design and timing.Come Join us at the Ark of Wellness!
