WHOLE SOUL STUDIO
Body | Soul | Spirit
ZERO ART SKILLS NEEDED
Feel calm, clear, and at
home in yourself again.
For women who are spiritually awake, emotionally overwhelmed, and tired of managing their way through life.
You don’t need another method.
You need a place where your body, emotions, and faith are finally allowed to belong together.
Whole Soul Studio is where wholeness becomes felt — not forced.
This Is Not a Program. It’s a Pilgrimage.
You’ve done the work.
You love God.
You’re insightful, sensitive, and deeply aware.
And still —
you feel anxious, heavy, disconnected, or tired in your body.
Not because you’re broken.
But because you’ve been living split.
Split from your body.
Split from your emotions.
Split from your truest self.
This is where that separation ends.
Most women were taught how to be faithful, strong, and productive —
but not how to feel safe inside themselves.
So they learn to:
Override their bodies
Manage emotions instead of listening to them
Spiritualize pain instead of processing it
Serve God while slowly abandoning themselves
The cost isn’t failure.
The cost is disconnection.
Some women arrive here after seasons that reshaped them quietly and deeply.
Some arrive after life changes they never expected to survive.
This pilgrimage is not about fixing you.
It is about meeting yourself fully — through art, prayer, ritual, ceremony, and holistic wisdom — stepping into the wholeness God has been patiently forming within you.
This Pilgrimage Is For You If…
• You’ve navigated life-changing seasons and feel ready to reclaim your story.
• You desire reconnection with your body, soul, and creative voice
• You want a structured, ceremonial journey that unfolds at a human pace
• You are ready to be seen, honored, and gently witnessed
• You are open to a Christ-centered spiritual experience without religious pressure
This Is Not For You If…
• You want a quick fix or surface-level solution
• You are seeking the cheapest, easiest, and fastest option
• You are unwilling to invest in a thoughtful, premium VIP experience
Why a Pilgrimage, Not a Program?
Programs are designed to move you through content.
Pilgrimage is designed to move YOU.
This work cannot be rushed, optimized, or checked off. Emotional and nervous-system restoration requires time, embodiment, and gentle repetition—allowing the soul and body to integrate what the mind already knows.
What if calm wasn’t something you had to create — but something you returned to?
At Whole Soul Studio, the goal isn’t coping.
The goal is:
Feeling grounded in your body
Trusting your emotions instead of fearing them
Experiencing God with you, not above you
Living from your true self, not a survival version
Feeling alive again — not just “regulated”
This is not self-improvement.
This is coming home.
“The “Finding Beautiful School of YOU” transformed my mess into meaning and left me feeling empowered and proud of who I am."
— Jessica Smith Dos Santos
Women who walk this path say things like:
“I don’t feel like I’m fighting myself anymore.”
“My body finally feels safe.”
“I trust myself — and God — in a deeper way.”
“I feel clear, grounded, and alive again.”
That is the work.
“My time with her exceeded any expectations and the outcome is invaluable.”
-Ashton Greer
WHY THIS WORK IS DIFFERENT
Whole Soul Studio doesn’t separate:
Faith from the body
Healing from creativity
Emotion from biology
Spirit from lived experience
Here, wholeness is not something you achieve.
It’s something you remember.
And when the body feels safe,
clarity returns.
Peace settles.
Life flows again.
A gentle, grounded return to wholeness.
Everything at Whole Soul Studio is designed to help you:
Feel again — without overwhelm
Heal — without forcing or fixing
Dream — without fear
Create — from alignment, not exhaustion
You are guided, held, and supported —
not pushed or optimized.
Shelley‘s God given gift to help women walk out at the School of YOU is this journey is worth more than its weight in gold.

About Your Pilgrimage Guide
Shelley Henk — Nurse Turned Wholeness Guide and “Artist of the Soul”
I am a nurse by training — and a witness by life.
At twenty-six, I walked through the unthinkable: the loss of my father to suicide. I learned firsthand how grief, trauma, and unresolved emotion live not only in the mind, but in the body.
Years later, despite doing everything “right,” my own health began to unravel. My nervous system was profoundly dysregulated, and no amount of clinical knowledge or spiritual effort could override what my body was holding.
That breaking became an initiation.
I stepped away from traditional healthcare and devoted myself to whole-person healing. I became a Whole Health Educator and Coach and went on to build a successful practice, guiding over a thousand people in restoring their physical health through physician-led programs.
And still — something essential was missing.
People didn’t need more information.
They didn’t need another protocol.
They needed a way to walk their healing.
What I discovered — through my own recovery and years of guiding others — is that lasting transformation requires less clinical mastery and more creative wisdom. Less pushing for change. More presence with what is true.
Healing needed a pilgrimage, not a program.
Alongside my work in health and education, I am a published writer, artist, and poet. I work as an abstract expressionist, translating lived stories, emotional landscapes, and sacred identity into visual form. I don’t just teach wholeness — I see it, feel it, and create from it.
This work was born from a path I had to walk without a map.
Today, I guide women through a slow, embodied, Spirit-led journey that honors the nervous system, restores emotional wholeness, and reconnects faith to the body — where it was always meant to live.
I don’t offer quick fixes.
I offer a path I know by heart.

The “Finding Beautiful School of YOU” transformed my mess into meaning and left me feeling empowered and proud of who I am."
— Jessica Smith Dos Santos
“For years I’ve searched for someone to help me understand & navigate my history while pushing me to LIVE forward. So many past experiences have walked me through the past, but left me stuck there. Shelley teaches methods to help deal with the triggers, yet keep moving forward so I can honor who I am at my core while acknowledging the feelings and emotions that come along with it. No more suppression. No more numbness."
— Emily Byrnes
“I love how Shelley weaves art, science & spirituality into our broken stories at the Finding Beautiful School of YOU. Helping us bring beauty forth. Shelley guides us past the healing stage, I felt stuck in. Her vision helped me awaken my God sized Dreams & this beautiful Artful Storywork healed my broken stories. So grateful.”
— Lisa Spokis
“Shelley helped break off me long held beliefs about God and myself that relegated me to believing I would always be last to receive. What a joy for that thinking to be gone! In just two short hours burdens, limiting beliefs, and some “stinking’ thinkin’ I didn’t even know I had was destroyed! Not only does Shelley know what she is doing she makes you feel that the most important thing she has to do at that moment is be in front of you. It was an amazing experience!”
— Dan Thomas
“Shelley helps you realize through her past experiences, that you too can bust through the barrier of pain and see suffering and see with beauty and purpose. She shares how looking backward to unearth your story allows you to let go and embrace forgiveness, love, and purpose to move forward."
— Katie Hurley
“Shelley Henk has helped me go from “hot mess” to finding my joy with purpose and passion! She has helped me rewrite my story learning to love who I once was and focus on who God created me to be. Helping me awaken to new possibilities, gain clarity on the future I want to create and empowering me take action to live an abundant and beautiful future!"
— Andrea Farrell
