Sharyn Nichols, MA, JFT, MDP


Sharyn was a founding board member of the Institute of Modern Wisdom as a 501c3 corporation, where she served as its Treasurer for 4 years.  In 2015, she transitioned to her new post as Hospitality Director, inspired to find and create ways to support the vision of the Institute while weaving in participation with the greater community, near and far.

Sharyn has spent the last 20 years helping others. She has committed her life to personal transformation and inner peace.  With a Masters of Arts in psychology from Pepperdine University, she has established a well-rounded private practice, blending concepts from her psychotherapeutic training with her education from the many courses and trainings offered by the Institute of Modern Wisdom.  Sharyn’s clients also benefit from her training as a KRI certified Kundalini yoga instructor.

She provides a safe and nurturing environment to explore spiritual awakening, emotional growth, and health and well being.  As an undergrad, she received a BSBA from Boston University.  She has been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2000, with a practice in the San Fernando Valley and the Westside of Los Angeles.  She also currently serves as a Regional Board member for the Anti-Defamation League.

She is excited to now be the Director of Hospitality because it will allow her to share her warmth, her bright light, and huge smile with the new and current participants of IMW!
