We are Sheri and Leah, a dynamic mother-daughter duo who have been through the tiring process and journey of battling chronic health issues. Our journey wasn’t just about overcoming challenges—it was about discovering a deeper purpose. At Wernecke Wellness, our passion goes beyond health; it’s about resilience, transformation, and empowering others to break free from the struggles they are facing. Our story began long before Wernecke Wellness was born, and every step has led us here—to help you reclaim your health and your life.
Life has a way of turning pain into purpose. What once felt like obstacles and dead ends were really guiding us toward something greater—a calling to help others find hope and health. Every struggle we faced deepened our understanding and strengthened our drive, shaping the foundation of Wernecke Wellness. Now, we pour our hearts into empowering others to take control of their health, break free from the cycles of frustration, and reclaim the vibrant life they deserve.
A Journey That Started in Childhood
Leah’s challenges started when she was eight years old. For 14 long years, she battled with health issues and received a multitude of diagnoses, including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), abdominal migraines, ADHD, anxiety, depression, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and multiple orthopedic injuries. She was told countless times that this would be her life - a life full of pain and never being active again. We searched for answers, doctor after doctor, prescription after prescription, but only found temporary band-aids and detrimental side effects to medications. Every treatment seemed to cover up the symptoms rather than address what was truly going on beneath the surface.
As a family, we lived through the heartbreak of watching Leah suffer without clear direction. Medications came with difficult side effects, leaving her feeling worse instead of better. We saw her light dim, her hope fade, and her once-bright smile disappear. We knew in our hearts there had to be another way—a way that supported the body rather than just numbing the pain and covering up the symptoms.
The Turning Point: Finding a New Way Forward
We refused to accept that Leah’s life would be defined by pain and hopelessness. After years of discouragement, frustration, financial strain, and countless dead ends, we knew there had to be another way. Instead of endlessly searching for the next doctor or quick fix, we shifted our focus to restoring balance to her body. This meant stepping back and focusing on the fundamentals—being mindful of what she put in her body and her mind. We nourished her with whole foods, got her out in nature, and surrounded ourselves with positivity. It was a long road and was not a quick fix, however, her body did not get here overnight, so there was no way it would be fixed overnight. Through this journey, we discovered that true health doesn’t come from masking symptoms but from understanding the body’s deeper imbalances and working with it, not against it. Step by step, Leah’s body began to rebalance, and for the first time in years, hope returned, joy replaced despair, and true health was no longer a dream but was her reality.
Turning Pain into Purpose
What began as a desperate search for answers became something bigger. We found a burning passion to turn our pain into our purpose. We poured our hearts into countless hours of studying and training to gain the knowledge and skills needed to truly help others on their health journey. Leah pursued a degree in psychology, then advanced her knowledge in Nutritional Therapy, Blood Chemistry, Bioenergetics, and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Sheri, driven by years of advocacy, became an Integrative Health Practictioner, also specializing in Blood Chemistry, Bioenergetics, and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Wernecke Wellness was born from that passion and that deep knowing that no one should have to walk this journey alone or feel as lost and hopeless as we once did.
We understand what it’s like to feel unheard, exhausted, and trapped in a cycle of trial and error. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to listen, to truly see you, and to help you navigate a path that brings back balance, energy, and the life you deserve.
