About Robin Shields

Hi, I'm Robin!

I created Spark Hope Healing and The Spark Hope Podcast as spaces where people can feel seen, heard, understood, and supported—whether through real conversations on the podcast or healing sessions.

As a Mind Shift Facilitator and Intuitive Healing Guide, My approach is gentle, grounded, and centered on meeting you exactly where you are.

The journey into healing began with my own struggles with self-love, depression, and anxiety. For a long time, I felt stuck in patterns of self-doubt and emotional pain that I couldn't seem to think my way though. I knew I wanted to feel better, but no matter how hard I tried, something beneath the surface kept pulling me back.

Then my life changed forever when I lost my oldest son to suicide. Grief became a part of my daily life—not just sadness, but also confusion, guilt, unanswered questions, and a deep ache in my heart.

Through my own healing journey, I came to understand that healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who you truly are beneath the pain, the experiences, and the stories you've carried.

Because of my personal experiences, I bring both compassion and understanding to the people I work with. It is a privilege to walk alongside others as they navigate their own challenges, discover new insights, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I am grateful every day to be living my purpose by helping others find greater clarity, healing, hope, and a path forward.

My journey into healing began with my own struggles with self-love, depression, and anxiety.

For a long time, I felt stuck in patterns of self-doubt and emotional pain that I couldn't seem to think my way out of.

I knew I wanted to feel better, but no matter how hard I tried, something beneath the surface kept pulling me back.

Then my life changed forever when I lost my oldest son to suicide.

Grief became a part of my daily life—not just sadness, but also confusion, guilt, unanswered questions, and a deep ache in my heart.

As I navigated that loss, I began to understand that healing isn't about forgetting, fixing, or moving on. It's about learning how to carry our experiences in a different way.

I made the decision to move forward and use my experiences to help others.

It took time, intention, courage, and self-awareness, but that journey has allowed me to create something meaningful in my own life and for the people I now have the privilege of supporting.

Today, Spark Hope Healing exists because I believe healing is possible, hope can be restored, and meaningful change can happen—even after life's most difficult experiences.

My role is to walk alongside you, hold a safe and supportive space, and help support your nervous system as your own inner healing wisdom does the work.

If you're struggling with difficult emotions and aren't quite sure where they're coming from, or you're simply trying to navigate what life is placing in front of you right now, Process Healing may be a good fit for you.

Sometimes life brings seasons of grief, uncertainty, overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from ourselves.

You don't need to have it all figured out.

Sometimes, you simply need support while finding your way back to yourself.

We don't have to relive or rehash painful experiences. Instead, we work with the emotional charge that is affecting you in the present so it can soften, release, and move through naturally.

As this happens, space is created for greater clarity, self-trust, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of hope.

My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space while your own inner wisdom and healing capacity do the work. I believe you already have what you need—sometimes it just needs a spark.

Through my own healing experiences and life's journey, I discovered that lasting change didn't come from avoiding pain or simply managing symptoms. It came from allowing the emotional charge connected to past experiences to gently release.

As old wounds softened, I found more compassion for myself, more peace within my body, and a deeper sense of hope. That personal healing eventually became a calling to help others—especially those navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and the loss of self-love.

I also came to understand that healing doesn't follow a timeline. Grief doesn't follow rules or logic, and emotional pain often lives deeper than our conscious thoughts—within the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious mind.

Spark Hope Healing was created to offer a safe, compassionate space where you don't have to be fixed, rushed, or pushed.

You simply have to be willing to begin.
