About Me
& the Creation of GEMME Wands
Hello, I’m Cheri, I am flower blossoming and growing as a spiritual entrepreneur and being. The artist in me is exploring and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I love and value my husband and daughters. My journey as a caregiver and my background in social work led me to realize there's something greater at play in the universe. This awareness opened my eyes to a higher realm of existence.
In September 2004, at a Women's Lodge retreat, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Going through a divorce and losing sight of myself as a caregiver, I realized I had neglected my own identity. This retreat planted the seeds for a transformation that would blossom years later.
In 2021, Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' struck a chord within me. At 50, I realized I needed to start living for myself. This awakening drew me closer to nature, where I found peace and connection. Inspired by my love for crystals and plants, GemMe Wands was born, guided by the support of my mentor, friends, and family.
GemMe Wands reflect love and healing through wood, pure copper, and genuine crystals. Each wand is created with divine guidance and has evolved into a powerful spiritual tool. Whether placed on an altar, worn, or given as gifts, GemMe Wands connect you with yourself and Mother Earth. When I collect driftwood, I bless the earth, honoring the balance of giving and receiving.
Giving Back
My family has been fortunate to be part of HopeKids, an organization that transforms the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions by creating hope through community involvement and ongoing events. We had the privilege of participating in The Week of Hope—a collaboration between HopeKids and Flathead Lake Lodge in Montana. It was a life-changing experience for which we are forever grateful.
When I started GEMME Wands in 2023, I decided to donate 3% of every sale to The Week of Hope. It warms my heart knowing I’m helping other families enjoy a magical week at Flathead Lake Lodge.
