Hi Beloved, I'm Shyteria 🤎
I am a native Memphian and the founder of Kingdom Daughters Healing, a ministry and faith-based coaching practice dedicated to helping women heal from trauma, rediscover their worth, and walk boldly in their God-given identity.
I work with women of faith, including those who feel close to God and those who feel distant or unsure of where they stand with Him. Wherever you are, you are welcomed with grace.
When Faith Didn't Feel Like Enough
There was a season in my life when I quietly slipped away from my faith because I felt unseen in my pain. I was carrying the weight of abuse, emotional scars, and deep distress, and I didn’t know how to talk about it.
At church, I learned how to nurture my spiritual life, but no one taught me how to understand my emotional wounds, how trauma affects the mind and body, or why I felt so unsafe inside my own thoughts. I learned how to serve and obey, but not how to feel whole, supported, or emotionally restored.
Searching for Healing in All the Wrong Places
As time went on, I started to believe that my faith wasn’t enough to heal the broken parts of me. I went through seasons of abandonment, despair, and even suicidal thoughts in college.
Eventually, I turned away from the faith community and tried to heal on my own. I dove into self-help books. I went to counseling. I exercised, journaled, meditated, and tried anything that might "fix" and help me feel whole again.
Each of those things helped a little, but, even after years of therapy, I still felt empty. Something was missing. I longed for a deep, soul-level healing that no technique could reach.
Longing for a Blueprint
I also longed to understand the healing process itself. I wanted the bigger picture of what was happening inside me. I wanted to know what to expect. I wanted clarity, direction, and language for my pain.
I needed a healing blueprint, but I never found one.
Instead, I only found small pieces of information that left me confused. Like many women, I freestyled my healing hoping it was enough, hoping I was doing something right.
Today, that longing has become part of my purpose and now I help women build the healing blueprint I never had. A clear roadmap that helps them understand where they are in their journey, what to expect next, how to navigate the difficult parts, and how to recognize their progress with confidence.
Healing is still a journey, but it does not have to be confusing or directionless.
How God Gently Led Me Back
After years of running, questioning, being angry, and even a season of Atheism, God gently drew me back. It wasn’t through a sermon or a loud moment, but rather through His gentle love and grace. He met me in my pain, patiently guiding me back to Him.
Through Scripture, prayer, and learning how trauma affects the brain and body, I began to heal in ways that went deeper than anything I had tried before. I realized that every part of us matters to God: the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Faith and science were never meant to compete.
They were always meant to work together for our healing.
Science explains the wound.
God brings the healing.
Through Him, we receive restoration.
My Calling to Help Women Heal
Today, I walk alongside women as they experience the same kind of healing God brought into my life. I am now a Faith and Trauma Recovery Coach and Community Educator. I have a Master of Education degree in Neuroscience and Trauma, certified life coach training, and more than twenty years of lived experience as a trauma survivor.
At Kingdom Daughters Healing, I teach that you don’t have to choose between your faith and the science behind your pain. Both can work together to bring renewal, peace, and transformation.
You Are Not Here by Accident
If you are reading this, I want you to know this with your whole heart. God has a gentle way of guiding His daughters toward healing at the moment they are ready. You do not have to walk this journey alone. There is hope. There is restoration. There is a safe place for your heart to heal.
If you feel ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
With love & grace,
Shyteria
