ABOUT

​ I graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Business of Fashion, of course back then it was called Fashion Merchandising with an emphasis in Marketing. I spent many years working in retail and wholesale management and buying (women's & men's clothing, shoes ,fine jewelry, luxury design, furniture & accessories). My experience includes both corporate and individual owned businesses. 

I had years of success in all areas of running stores and increasing sales by hiring and training candidates and teams, sales management, payroll,  customer service excellence, merchandising and choosing products with the best pricing for the demographic, and much more.

In 2010 during the recession with a toddler and a baby I was laid off from my job in the corporate world. I realized I wanted to do more by helping smaller businesses.  I established  my consulting business in 2011 called Creative Retailing. My focus was to increase the bottom line of small businesses that were in the service industry. In addition I had a brief exposure as C.E.O. of Urban Darling a Personal Stylist Platform that catered to styling people in person and online. 

While working I was juggling my life as well. Raising my daughters, an ending to my marriage, friendship balancing, and family illness. With a health scare that changed how I take care of myself and my family, it opened my eyes on how we live our lives and our lifestyles. Mindsets that prevent us from making changes that could benefit us and our careers, businesses and relationships.

Staying stuck in the same patterns that are unfulfilling and eventually cause burn out and illness. Financial perspectives that need to be updated.

I made a decision that I want to help the whole person and not just their businesses. For this reason,

I continued my learning and got certified as a Yoga Teacher @ Innerstellar in Berkeley, Ca. And Immediately after went in to training and received a Certification in Life Coaching from Martha Beck Life Coach Training.

In 2015 I turned my consulting business (Creative Retailing) in to Sherry Ellingson Business/Life Coach & Yoga. I have had many years of coaching women in different areas of life, in addition to guiding business owners in improving their bottom line.
