Sheila trained as a professional dancer at the Theatre School of Dance and Drama in Edinburgh, where in addition to dance, Sheila was cast as a student in the film 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brody'.

Sheila and her daughter Erin from a previous marriage, came to Norfolk, Virginia in 1994 to marry a US Navy sailor she had met while working at RAF Edzell, a joint Royal Airforce/American Naval base in Scotland. 
The marriage turned into a nightmare of abuse and Sheila and her daughters had to escape to a battered women shelters four times within the first six years of their life in America. Finally, their abuser was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail.
Sheila with her Scottish born daughter Erin and American born daughter Apryl then set out on their own to heal from the scars of their torment and begin to build a life free from the cycle of abuse. Central to the core of that healing process was finding the faith she had longed for all through her life.
