Overnight I began to get well. I was absolutely amazed. I had contacted Mr. Edwards purely out of desperation and did not expect anything to happen at all. Was I surprised! (for more detailed information see Healing From the Inside Out). As a result of this amazing recovery, I have devoted much of my life to the study of metaphysics, with an emphasis on spiritual healing and mediumship.

In 1974 I began to study with the medium Jane Roberts attending her weekly ESP classes where her communicating entity called Seth came through and spoke to the students. It was fascinating to witness this demonstration of life after death by this very prolific and entertaining spirit, who would tease us by saying, “Death speaks with a loud voice." As a young woman I learned that there most definitely is  a realm of spirit and that it can even interact with our own realm to both communicate with us and heal us.

I have remained steadfastly interested in spirituality and have studied with wonderful teachers. I have taught and lectured in different locations in NYC, NY State and Canada. In my private counseling sessions I employ those techniques that have brought me the most help and support along the way. My book, “Healing From the Inside Out" was published in 1989 by New American Library. 

In May of 2000, I was ordained into the Interfaith Ministry under "Sanctuary of the Beloved," an incorporated, non-denominational church in New York State and in the United States, by the Reverend Daniel Chesbro.

 In 2006 I received my masters degree in Therapeutic Counseling from The Open International University for Complementary Medicines ("OIUCM"), a post-graduate university with the goal of promoting the integration of all medicines, upholding a 1962 United Nations declaration that a "global strategy be developed for public health using all curative methods available, both orthodox and traditional."

In 2007 I received my doctoral degree from OIUCM. These degrees were granted based on credits given for notable contributions in the field of complementary medicine (i.e. my book, Healing From The Inside Out, my Interfaith Coming of Age Program for Teens, my Personal Distant Healing Log Book, and my CD, “Sheri Perl’s Five-Phase Healing Program”).  

In 2010 I was re-ordained into OUNI (Order of Universal Interfaith) as an interspiritual/interfaith cleric and minister. This ordination is much like the former. For both I took sacred vows to do service in the world. I am also a member of The Community of the Mystic Heart, soon to be on the web. This is a global group open to  anyone committed to doing service in the world.
