Shelley Timmer

Shelley Sandbulte Timmer is the Founder and CEO of PlayOff Sports LLC and the visionary behind a new venture, Your Journey Illuminated – Helping Others Find Their Path, a coaching and healing service devoted to guiding souls of all ages. She is a seasoned entrepreneur, certified mental health coach, science educator, yoga and meditation instructor, and Notary Public—a true bridge between the worlds of science, spirit, and service. With a rich professional tapestry that includes editing national science curricula, serving as lead chemist for Diamond Vogel Paints in award-winning national projects, and receiving accolades such as the George Washington Carver Scholarship, All-American Academic Team nomination, and Excellence Award from ETS Praxis, Shelley embodies lifelong learning and excellence across disciplines. Raised on a dairy farm in Northwest Iowa as the tenth of twelve children, Shelley’s roots are steeped in hard work, connection to nature, reverence for life’s cycles, and deep spiritual grounding. Her upbringing taught her the sacredness of both service and the earth—experiencing firsthand the rhythms of birth and death, communion with animals, and the importance of faith. A lifelong athlete, she continues to enjoy biking, hiking, climbing, swimming, running, and yoga, and once led a championship-winning women’s softball team and coached youth sports for many years. A devoted mother of four and grandmother to twelve beloved grandchildren, Shelley finds joy and inspiration in family and in the divine mysteries that shape our journeys. Her spiritual mission is to bring revelation and light to others—through the Living Word, Christ Consciousness, Gaia, the Universe, and the presence of Mother and Father God. Shelley’s first book, The Upper Room: Taking the Higher Road, is forthcoming through Page Publishing and marks the beginning of her public offerings to a wider audience of seekers, leaders, and light-bearers.
