The reviews below represent a small selection of the generous comments shared by librarians, program coordinators and event organizers who invited me to speak over the years. I am deeply grateful for their kind words and continued support.

“We had Sydney Sherman present her “Understanding Your Aura” presentation this past week. It was very informative, engaging and even humorous. She always draws a large crowd and our patrons just love her”.

“I’d like to add to the praise for Sydney Sherman and her programs. We hosted her last night for a virtual “Understanding Your Senses” presentation and it was really terrific. This is our third event with Sydney, and each time she has been a pleasure and easy to work with while making all of the arrangements. Her presentations are dynamic and very interesting – definitely a favorite of our patrons. And we will definitely be having her back!”
Thanks,

“Last evening the Mansfield Library had Sydney Sherman do her “You Are Not Alone: Our Loved Ones Are Here…You’re Just Not Listening” program on Zoom. It was a wonderful and uplifting program. Sydney was warm and engaging and her presentation was a perfect balance of information and entertainment. It also had the best attendance of any zoom program I have offered this past year! I look forward to having her back to do another one of her presentations in the future. I would highly recommend Sydney, you will not be disappointed.”

“I’d like to make a plug for Sydney Sherman, medium, author, and reiki master. We’ve hosted Sydney several times over the years and when in person we’ve had upwards of 50-100 each time. She’s available year round – not just Halloween. She’s serious about her gift and wants to share it with others. She’s engaging, down to earth, warm and funny and also a nurse who had been on the front line most of 2020. I reached out to Sydney after I lost my mom to Covid this past year and the experience was incredibly moving and powerful. What she was able to share with me was at first unbelievable and then after several weeks I understood and took comfort from what I experienced. She has talks on auras, one on using your senses to reach out to loved ones, and another on her life as a medium by discussing her book You are not Alone and (she also has one for children called Gifted Innocence).” www.sydneyshermanauthor.com sydneyshermanauthor@yahoo.com

Hi everyone,
Here at Hagaman Library, last Wednesday, June 2 at 6:30 p.m., we hosted author and medium Sydney Sherman. Ms. Sherman did a presentation called, “The Transition,” which chronicles, in a scientific way, the process of death and beyond. The process is divided into three phases: preparation, the actual death, and lastly their transition to a new form. The presentation looks at the subject of an afterlife using scientific principles. Sydney does a wonderful job of presenting the information using a PowerPoint presentation. She also creatively tailors her presentation to the particular audience she is working with, and also brings lots of humor and fun to the subject.
Sydney has been to our library many times over the past 10 years. She has done in-person, on-site presentations and this most recent presentation, “The Transition” was her second virtual presentation for the library. She did a virtual presentation for our library last October on her book: You are Not Alone: Our Loved Ones are Here…You’re Just Not Listening. All of the in-person, on-site presentations our library has scheduled with Sydney have brought large groups of participants, many times upwards of 70 people!
For anyone interested in Sydney’s program, “The Transition,” here is a YouTube link to the program: https://youtu.be/ZzgDxhM97hE. I highly recommend Sydney! She has many workshops and presentations for libraries. To find out what she offers, go to: https://www.sydneyshermanauthor.com/.

Granby Public Library virtually hosted author and metaphysical speaker Sydney Sherman for Understanding Your Aura.
Several other libraries have posted and sung Sydney’s praises, and all I can add is she is someone that we will invite to return for more programs. She is knowledgeable in thanatology (the study of life after death) and the healing art of Reiki (a Japanese form of healing).
More info about Sydney, her programs and the books she’s written is available at: https://www.sydneyshermanauthor.com/

“Sydney Sherman presented her “You Are Not Alone” program through Zoom for the Seymour Public Library on Wednesday, June 8.
We had 27 attendees. Sydney is very passionate about her subject. The program consisted of Sydney’s experiences as a young child up through adulthood and currently. She presents ways for people to contact their loved ones that have died and suggests that you don’t need to contact a Medium- each person has the ability to contact loved ones themselves.
Sydney throws in a plug for libraries and suggests people use the library to research anything they are curious about. As a registered nurse, Sydney very much cares about scientific facts and imparted that to the audience. The program ran from 6:30PM to 8:00 PM as Sydney stayed on to make sure she answered all questions”.

“Hall Memorial Library hosted Sydney Sherman’s “You Are Not Alone” program Tuesday evening on Zoom. Sydney was warm, engaging, and relatable throughout the presentation and made sure to answer all questions. Since Tuesday evening, we have had many patrons comment on a repeat presentation, and we plan to have her here again in near future. You will not be disappointed in a presentation by Sydney Sherman.”

“Our library recently hosted Sydney Sherman, author of “You Are Not Alone: Our Loved Ones Are Here…You’re Just Not Listening” and we highly recommend her program. She is a dynamic, energetic presenter and really kept our audience engaged. She was also thoughtful in answering questions as they arose by our attendees throughout the program.
We will be having her present again for our library in the near future.”

Hey all, I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of folks singing Sydney’s praise. Rockville Public Library hosted “You Are Not Alone” yesterday evening via Zoom. Though our Zoom participation numbers have dropped off quite a bit in the last six weeks, almost everyone who signed up for Sydney’s presentation attended. Sydney herself was well-prepared and engaged with her audience. It was clear by the end that the program’s participants were interested seeing more of her presentations, so we’ll likely have her back. You can contact Sydney here: sydneyshermanauthor@yahoo.com All the best, Caitlin
