About
About Me
Welcome! I am Sheryl McAfee, Founding Executive Director of Paula's Hope, Inc. and the founder of RelateWell Coaching. My mission is to empower individuals and families to break through communication barriers, resolve complex dynamics, and restore trust. Life is built on relationships—whether with a partner, a family member, or a colleague. When communication breaks down or misunderstandings take over, it can feel incredibly isolating. My goal is to equip you with the practical tools and relational insight needed to move past defensive patterns and build healthy, meaningful connections that last.
An Inclusive, Safe Space for All
Whether you share my personal Christian faith or come from a completely different background, please know that you are warmly welcomed here. My coaching practice is built on a foundation of unconditional respect, grace, and empathy. You do not need to hold specific religious beliefs to receive my services or benefit from our work together. My commitment is to meet you exactly where you are, honoring your worldview while providing a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space to help you grow.
My Approach: Rooted in Truth & Practical Care
At RelateWell Coaching, we believe that emotional well-being and relational health are deeply intertwined. While traditional therapy often focuses on processing past wounds, mental health coaching concentrates on your present reality and future possibilities.
For clients who desire it, I deeply value integrating biblical principles and timeless scriptural wisdom into our sessions. For others, we focus entirely on sound mental health coaching principles, practical communication strategies, and personal development tools. Whether we are drawing on spiritual discernment or evidence-based psychological frameworks, our goal is the same: to help you gain clarity, navigate life's hurdles, and foster healthy personal and professional growth.
What We Navigate Together
My practice is designed to meet your unique relational needs, whether you are looking for dedicated 1-on-1 personal coaching, parenting support to restore household harmony, or professional communication strategies for workplace cohesion. Together, we focus on day-to-day communication frameworks to help you navigate:
Communication Breakdowns: Shifting away from defensive patterns to speak and listen effectively.- Complex Family Dynamics: Managing difficult conversations, setting healthy boundaries, and clearing up long-standing misunderstandings.
- Restoring Trust & Harmony: Rebuilding emotional safety to strengthen the foundational bonds within your home and professional life.
Who This Is For
This collaborative, present-focused approach is ideal for proactive self-starters seeking structured accountability and clear action steps rather than long-term clinical treatment. It is specifically designed for:
High-functioning professionals experiencing persistent stress, burnout, or difficulty balancing personal and professional roles.- Individuals seeking relational clarity who struggle to set, communicate, and maintain healthy boundaries with partners, family, or colleagues.
- People in transition navigating major life changes, such as career shifts, relationship evolutions, or identity updates.
Qualifications & Experience
With specialized training and master diplomas in youth mental health coaching, suicide prevention, trauma-informed care, and addiction recovery through AACC and Light University, I combine clinical understanding with deep relational insight. My ultimate goal is to provide a grace-filled environment where you are truly seen, valued, and equipped to flourish.

Testimonials
It was exactly what I needed on the day that I needed it. Sheryl gave me just enough momentum to break up fully with the boy I had been trying to break up with for so long, right after the session. Then her support helped me walk the grief process and finding myself again.
