Currently, Lynne is providing counselling services to children, families and indiviuals through her private practice, Felt Feelings Counselling and is working on new books to add to The Felt Feelings Book Series.

Biography Sharon DeVellis is a mother, wife, writer and editor who can uncork a wine bottle in less than 10 seconds but buys twist-offs for emergencies. She started her job at the Yummy Mummy Club as their Coordinator after winning Canada’s Yummiest Mummy Contest, a contest based on creativity and not on parenting skills (whew wipe beads of sweat from brow). After a year and a half of coordinating the ins and outs of YummyMummyClub.ca while writing her Inside Scoop blog and somehow managing life as a stay at home mom to two boys with no housekeeper and a husband who works ridiculous hours, Sharon was promoted to Editor where she is much better at catching other people’s typos than her own. But it doesn’t stop her from revealing the deep, dark, grammatically incorrect intimate details of her life. Then last year at the age of 41, she decided to take up speed skating. Most people think it’s because she’s brave but it’s really because her kids could catch her when she ran. She chronicles her speed skating journey at Speed Skating Mom. She’s currently in therapy to stop talking about herself in third person.
