My Story



Sharon Elicia Fuertes is an accomplished educator, author, publisher, and content creator. She earned her Master's in ESL/Bilingual education and holds a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. With a wealth of experience, she has worked with children and adults in various roles such as a teacher, counselor, program coordinator, and test administrator.

Her passion for child development ignited when she was a 16-year-old 4-H Camp Counselor, and it deepened further during her time as a Positive Tree counselor, where she supported at-risk teenage girls in navigating their challenges. This role was particularly meaningful to her as she resonated with their struggles and trauma.


As a Highly Qualified Teacher, Sharon not only became the HOUSE Liaison to make sure teachers became certified, but she also became a certified wellness coach, recognizing that this was another aspect of her calling. Her journey into wellness began with her understanding of the immense pressures teachers and other professional working women face daily. She noticed that too often teachers' mental and physical well-being were often overlooked. This realization drove her to become a certified wellness coach.

Juggling marriage, parenting, a demanding career, and health challenges was no easy feat. The quest for work-life balance frequently felt frustrating and overwhelming. Nevertheless, her passion for teaching, faith, and the well-being of her children fueled her motivation for pressing forward.

After a few years of content creating and coaching, Sharon had an epiphany: why not share her parenting journey to inspire and uplift other parents? Following extensive research and writing, she produced her heartfelt and transformative book, "Raising the Wholesome Child." Her children, Xavier and Brianna, served as her inspiration.

She is now offering the course and coaching program, The Breakthrough Accelerator. You can get access to her book and course at the links below.
