Helping Women Rediscover Their Power Through Nature & Sedona Adventures

Sheila’s Journey – The Heart Behind Your Sedona Adventure

Hi, I’m Sheila!

Founder of And Then She Did

More than a decade ago, I asked myself a simple, soul-shaking question that changed everything: Is this the life I truly want?

I had success on paper, but my heart felt disconnected. So I made a bold move. I left the life I had built… and built a new one rooted in nature, adventure, and authenticity.

I found peace in quiet trails, clarity under Sedona’s big skies, and strength in doing things I once thought were impossible.

Now, I guide other women to do the same.

I Wanna Experience It!

I came to Sedona feeling burned out and unsure. I left with clarity, courage, and new sisters. Sheila didn’t just guide us through nature—she helped guide me back to myself.

Sedona Is More Than a Place

And That’s Why I Created These Sedona Adventures For Women

After leading over 50 women’s adventures with REI, I witnessed the transformation that happens when women disconnect from the noise and reconnect with their true nature. So when REI’s adventure division closed in 2025, I knew I had to keep going.

These Sedona Women’s Adventures are for every woman who’s ever thought… ‘‘There has to be more to life than this.”

Yes! I Wanna Go To Sedona!

But Why Sedona?

Sedona isn’t just beautiful. Sedona is powerful.

Its iconic red rocks, healing vortexes, and endless skies create a space where women naturally open up, let go, and come home to themselves.

It’s where I realized guiding could be my calling. It’s where I camped with my pug, Stitch, and found clarity on a quiet trail. It’s where one conversation lit a fire in me that hasn’t gone out since.

Sedona cracked me open, and now, I help other women let it do the same.
