About Rising Woman

Sheleana Aiyana is the internationally bestselling author of Becoming the One and the founder of Rising Woman, a globally recognized platform and community of over 2.5 million readers devoted to self-healing and relational transformation. Known for her grounded spiritual insight and clear, practical guidance, she is a leading voice in the realms of heartbreak, relationships, and inner work.

Her approach combines somatic practices, inner child healing, trauma-informed psychology, transpersonal therapy, and intergenerational trauma work into an intuitive, grounded path for healing. She focuses on helping people move from intellectual awareness into embodied change.

With a writing style that is both poetic and piercingly direct, Sheleana blends personal storytelling with accessible, tangible wisdom, offering an emotionally resonant and clarifying experience for her readers and students. Having grown up in foster care and moved through cycles of abuse, addiction, and heartbreak, her work is rooted in lived experience, not theory. Her own healing journey shapes the way she writes, teaches, and supports others in reclaiming their sense of self, personal power, and capacity to love.

Sheleana has been with her husband for over 10 years, and is the mother to a daughter. She lives with her family nestled in the forest on a small island on the west coast of Canada.
