Shawanda Barnes is an author, speaker, and transformational leader committed to helping individuals become whole spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Her work is rooted in spiritual maturity, emotional accountability, and intentional healing. She serves women who love God but recognize they are still reacting from old wounds, navigating unresolved rejection, or repeating patterns that no longer align with who they are becoming.

Shawanda holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which informs her structured and insightful approach to growth. She is a Certified Inner Healing and Deliverance Coach, as well as a Certified Mentor and Life Coach, equipping women with the tools to confront root issues, renew their minds, and walk in lasting freedom through Christ-centered guidance.

Shawanda is not simply teaching information; she is guiding transformation.

She is the author of Shedding Tears, a powerful testimony of healing and restoration, and the accompanying Shedding Tears Workbook, designed to walk women through intentional reflection, prayer, and breakthrough.

Her mission is to help women heal deeply, live free, and walk boldly in their God-given purpose.
