Sharlene Canning is a passionate Wellness Coach and the creator of The Accountability and Compassion Course. Born and raised on the East Coast of Canada.

Sharlene’s mission is clear: to help people who feel lost in their lives, offering the guidance and support she wished she had during her own journey.

Growing up with two deaf parents and a younger sister, Sharlene took on the role of “mother to all” and the self-proclaimed “leader of the herd.” Like many of us, Sharlene experienced trauma at a very early age. The early responsibility, paired with the trauma, shaped much of her path, leading her into a struggle with addiction and a deep desire for validation. However, after a life-altering car accident, Sharlene embarked on a profound period of self-reflection and healing.

It was during her own rehabilitation that Sharlene began writing about her recovery. The words flowed easily, as if they were meant to be shared with others on a similar journey. The result was The Accountability and Compassion Course, a program designed to guide individuals toward greater self-awareness and healing.

Sharlene’s unique ability to communicate complex ideas in the simplest terms sets her apart. Her writing feels as if she’s speaking directly to you, making even the toughest concepts accessible. She believes that true learning happens when information is absorbed from multiple angles, and her superpower lies in her ability to break things down in as many ways as it takes for someone to truly understand.

Although growing up with the responsibility of being the family “interpreter” was challenging, it helped sharpen Sharlene’s communication skills, making her a powerful coach. Sharlene’s vibrant personality, experience, and wisdom continue to inspire and support those on their own transformative journeys. Sharlene is dedicated to helping others find clarity, compassion, and the accountability needed to create lasting change.
