Helping Women Rediscover Their Power Through Nature & Adventure
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 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.

Why I Created These
Sedona Adventures For Women
This is more than a trip. It’s a soul-awakening experience.
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 truth. 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.”
I came to Sedona feeling like I was holding my breath. By the time I left, I felt rooted, open, and alive again. This adventure reminded me who I really am.

Real journeys. Real change.
But Why Sedona?
Sedona isn’t just beautiful—it’s 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. Now, I help other women let it do the same.
