Hello!

I’m Sherin Swift

Speaker | Writer | Facilitator

I turned away from atheism to become a follower of Jesus 27 years ago. Alongside therapy, my faith has played a key role in healing from the significant trauma and abuse I experienced growing up. God has given me the grace to share honestly about my journey, which has allowed me to help and inspire others along the way.
