ALICE SHEA

Hey There, I'm Heather.

I help you unlock your intuition and become the coach you're called to be.

I didn't always have a business I'm in love with or the confidence it took to build it. I grew up in the Deep South on the poor side of the tracks. The only inheritance I received was crippling anxiety and a poverty complex.

The clients, the programs, the podcast, the money, the millions of humans transformed…

That all came after I learned (the hard way) how to care more about my purpose than what other people think and to make my intuition the loudest voice I listen to.

11 years ago, with a $35 ad and a $99 Ikea chair, I held out my "Intuitive Life Coach," in the biggest trust fall in the universe, ever.

Since then, I've grown Atmana Academy into a multi-million dollar global school, earned my master's degree and coached everyone from first-time seekers to corporate executives.

Along the way, I built the Sovereign Intuitive Coaching™ Method, the heart of everything I teach. It's one four-phase process (Find the Root, Feel the Emotion, Friend the Saboteur and Free the Self) that empowers you to resolve challenges at the root emotional and energetic level.

The coaches I've trained now carry this work all over the world. And every last one of them started right where you might be standing now.

You're probably here because…

Strangers tell you their whole life story at dinner parties and in the grocery store checkout line.

So you figure you might as well make a career out of it.

If you're like most intuitive people I've worked with, you were born knowing how to help people. You were taught at a very early age to take care of everyone else. To be the problem solver. The fixer. Like moths to a flame, people just know to come to you for help.

But somewhere along the way, you got lost in the shuffle. I believe you're here, reading this, because you are ready to pivot into the greatest chapter of your life, with your purpose front and center.

Because deep down, you've always known something was a little different about you. You've sensed things other people couldn't. You've known things other people didn't.

A nudge in the middle of lunch with a friend. A knowing at 3 a.m. A feeling about a person you couldn't explain, and later wished you'd listened to.

You used to push all of it down and play small to keep the peace. But now, doing that feels a lot like your old jeans from 20 years ago, it's out of style and it just doesn't fit like it used to.

That inner voice you've heard your whole life is your intuition, and it's been trying to get your attention for a long, long time.

I didn't go looking to become an intuition teacher and coach.

In 2012, a medical crisis stopped my life cold.

In the eight months that followed, something opened in me that wouldn't close again. I began to sense and read energetic information in the people around me, as plainly as I can feel a summer storm rolling in off the Atlantic before the first drop hits my porch.

I'll be honest with you. I didn't throw it a welcome party.

I grew up in a "religious" household. I learned early that challenging authority (one of my favorite things to do, btw) got you in trouble. If it didn't conform, it got squashed.

Reading people's energy wasn't on the list of things a sensible Southern girl did on a Tuesday.

My Daddy

I doubted myself and my abilities at first. But then, there was my Dad.

He was a fearlessly strong, yet sensitive soul with a gift for storytelling and seeing people. He could sit down beside a stranger and find the very best thing about them, and before you'd know it, he'd have them in tears.

He passed away long before my intuition came online, but looking back, I now know exactly where my gift came from. He handed it to me long before either of us had a name for it.

In that moment, Atmana Academy and the Sovereign Intuitive Coaching™ Method were born.

Harvard Meets Hogwarts:How Atmana Academy came to life

When something that big opens up in you, you can float off into the clouds with it, or you can put on your boots and go find out how it works. So like my Dad taught me, I put my work boots on and I did the heavy lifting to blend the wonder and magic of the "woo woo" world with the academic rigor of the mainstream world.

  • I earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
  • I sat across from real people in real pain, and learned how the mind, the body and the nervous system shape everything we perceive.
  • I studied the world's major religions and wandered down more spiritual rabbit holes than I can count.

From all my experiences, I learned that intuition is real, and it is the truest, most powerful instrument we have available to us as human beings to help other people heal.

Everything I create in my business stands on solid psychology with room for the Divine.

Science You Can Stand On & Spirit You Can Feel

When you work with me, you get the best of both: the rigor of clinical training and the wide-open wonder of the intuitive world.

Here's what I know after over 25 years in the biz...

There's a hidden world surrounding our physical one that intelligently influences the events of our daily lives and our destiny. That's the realm your intuition comes from, the realm of the heart.

If you have the courage to trust it, the breadcrumb trail it gives you will always take you to where you are supposed to be, and that place is always way better than you think.

But first, you have to say
