DIY Coach Sheena

About Me:

Hi, I’m Sheena Hanscel, a certified wellness & DIY coach, and floral designer. One of my biggest passions as a child was simply being outside – playing in the dirt, picking wildflowers, and finding solace sitting in the grass amongst the trees. It was a deep connection to nature that nourished my soul.

Life’s journey has a funny way of bringing us full circle, and mine has led me right back to that childhood passion. Now, I’m blessed to be doing what I love, working with the natural world, and inspiring others to reconnect with their own passions and find healing through ceremony.

I believe that life’s journey is marked by significant transitions, both big and small, and that each deserves to be honored. My own path has taken me through many transformations, and I am passionate about helping others navigate life’s passages with intention, grace, and meaning.

I curate personalized ceremonies for individuals, families, and groups, supporting them through celebrations, grief, self-discovery, and other life events. I also provide DIY workshops based in herbalism, florals and ancestral origins.

My Story:

My professional life began as a therapist, dedicated to helping others heal and grow. However, life had other plans for me. My own personal struggles with imbalance, unhealthy habits, and a disconnect from my true self ultimately led to a cancer diagnosis and year long stay in Mexico.

Through my health crisis, I reconnected with plants, found balance and discovered a cure in nature over hospitals. During my journey, I rediscovered the transformative power of flowers – a connection that had been dormant since my childhood days. Simply having beautiful flowers around me during this time was healing and brought me joy when I was in pain.

Realizing that my work as a therapist within the hospital was a huge contributor of what landed me in the hospital as a patient motivated me to live differently once I was healthy again. I opened my own business as a holistic wellness coach and soon after began working with brides in DIY floral workshops. By helping them bring their wedding floral visions to life, I witnessed firsthand the incredible impact of DIY creation.

I saw how the act of crafting, of bringing something beautiful into being with their own hands, transformed anxiety, stress, and uncertainty into empowerment, confidence, and joy. This was a profound realization for me as I had found this same transformation within myself through working with flowers and creating art – an outlet I never had in my previous life. I thought, “Now this is a powerful healing tool that I want to share with the world.”

This newfound connection to the natural world and DIY workshops opened up a whole new world of plants and opportunity for me. My passion for flowers naturally evolved into an exploration of herbalism, further deepening my understanding of nature’s healing gifts. I began incorporating herbs and flowers into my DIY sessions, creating experiences that were not only creative but also deeply meaningful and intentional.

These sessions evolved into personalized ceremonies for a variety of goals, from marking milestones to navigating grief and loss. Learning about the origins, traditions, and heritage of the people I worked with inspired me to start teaching the history and origins of the materials and practices during my DIY workshops. This added another layer of learning and inspiration, encouraging participants to weave meaningful rituals into their daily lives. Evolving beyond just a skills based workshop, but a truly ceremonial experience.

My Approach:

My approach is grounded in collaboration and deep listening. I believe that you hold within you the wisdom and intuition to create ceremonies that truly resonate.

My role is to act as a facilitator, a guide, and a creative partner in this process. I begin by listening deeply to your story, your intentions, and your vision for the ceremony. We explore together the specific transitions you are marking, the emotions you wish to honor, and the symbolism that holds meaning for you.

Drawing upon my background in therapy, floral design, and herbalism, I offer suggestions and inspiration, weaving together the beauty of flowers, the healing power of herbs, and the rich history of ritual and tradition. I guide you through the process of selecting the elements that resonate most strongly, from specific flowers and herbs to symbolic gestures and readings.

Together, we craft a ceremony that is uniquely yours, a ritual that reflects your individual path and empowers you to embrace change with intention, grace, and joy.

This collaborative approach extends to my DIY workshops as well. I don’t just teach techniques; I create a space for exploration, self-discovery, and connection, encouraging you to infuse your creations with personal meaning and intention.

Whether it’s arranging flowers, crafting herbal remedies, or designing a personalized ceremony, I empower you to tap into your own creativity and intuition, transforming everyday acts into sacred rituals.
