Today we’d like to introduce you to Reverend Dr. Sheryl T,. Martin.
Hi Reverend Dr. Sheryl T,., please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
When I was nine years old, I saw a spirit for the first time after my father passed away and he came to visit me. I spent my childhood with the understanding that my dad was always there for me and that I could speak to him at any time. I never connected with other spirits or explored this any further but the visit from my dad had a huge impact on me and on the way that I looked at life after death. It allowed me to find my connection to spirit.
In 2008 my mother passed away and I began a quest to learn everything that I could about spirits and life after death. I found myself being guided to leave my corporate job and began walking my true path. As an adult I have worked to enhance my ability to connect to the spiritual realm and to continuously education myself in the metaphysical world, in order to help others find that connection and to help them heal.
Following the completion of my doctorial degree in Holistic Theology and being ordained as an interfaith minister, Heaven-Pathways-Earth was established in November 2015. In 2016 I became certified as a reiki master and began to incorporate that knowledge along with my previous education to further create a sacred space for healing and growth.
Since 2015 Heaven-Pathways-Earth has grown in many directions. I not only offer readings, healing, spiritual counseling and officiate weddings but I also teach workshops for others to learn psychic development, reiki, and connecting with spirit. January 2018 I started the San Marcos Metaphysical and Holistic Fair which prior to covid was a monthly event that drew in vendors and clients from all over Texas and beyond. It is now three times a year. In 2019 I founded Wimberley Metaphysical and Holistic Fair which is hosted three times a year. January of 2025 I began the Austin Metaphysical and Holistic Fair which is a monthly event.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
In the beginning the struggle was working the business while working a corporate job as well. When covid hit the struggle was learning zoom and how to continue to offer workshops as well as offering distant healing and readings. Today the biggest struggle is helping people overcome their fear of the unknown while keeping the fairs all going. The state of the US has people in fear not only fear for themselves and their family but also fear about what their futures hold. This fear is causing them to buckle down on any disposal income, which honestly they may truly not have. Fear is a negative energy though and can bring negative things into their space. Therefore remaining positive and helping others do the same is a large part of my journey.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I sincerely care about people. Everything that I do and offer comes from the heart and a place of understanding that we are all connected. No matter our differences we are still connected as spiritual beings having a human experience.
When it comes to officiating weddings what sets me apart from others is that I offer photography and customized ceremonies. In addition I am proud to serve the LBGTQIA+ community and work to ensure that my wedding application is all inclusive. No two weddings are exactly alike. I also offer a variety of unity ceremonies such as the more traditional ones of Unity Candle Ceremony and Unity Sand Ceremony and then the non-traditional ones of Handfasting Ceremony, Circle of Herbs Ceremony, Crystal Grid Ceremony, Stomping of Glass and Jumping the Broom.
When it comes to my Readings I use the Cosmic Zee Board (very rare in the US) as well as my connection with spirit to provide guidance to my clients.
I do offer a lot of different services and with each of them I give my all and work to not only be my best but to help others along the way.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
There are way too many to list. In the beginning I read everything I could get my hands on and I connected with a lot of what I read. Now I focus more on my connection with spirit and where I am guided. I fully trust and believe in my journey.
