Our Story

A Sacred Movement of Remembrance.

Encompass Life is built on a single conviction: you never actually lost your wholeness. You forgot it. Every program, every session, every Tuesday call is a path of returning to what was always already true.

Mission & Philosophy

What We
Actually Believe

Healing is the process of remembering. Transformation is the natural result of aligning with Truth and Love. We empower people to remember what has always been true.

"You already are what you are here to become."

01

Every word is a creation.

The language you use is a directive. The words you speak are actively shaping the life around you, consciously or by default.

02

Every feeling is light remembered or light repressed.

Emotions are not problems to manage, they are signals. Ease, joy, and peace are your natural frequency. Anything else is information about where the pattern lives.

03

Every symptom is sacred communication.

The body holds what the mind cannot face. Physical patterns, recurring illness, chronic tension: they are the body speaking.

04

Every life has purpose, by design.

Nothing in your story is wasted. The hardest chapters are the most instructive. The life you have been unconsciously creating is the doorway to the one you are here to live on purpose.

Mark's Story

The Man Who Built
This from the Inside Out

Mark Scherer did not arrive at this work through academic curiosity. He arrived through collapse. From age 13, he drank. From his mid-twenties, drugs. Decades of genuine effort at self-improvement, the books, the seminars, the mental disciplines, produced understanding without transformation. He could grasp the concepts. He could not live them.

In November 2009, he discovered that a trusted friend had embezzled $350,000 through his own company. That evening, he pulled into his garage, closed the door, and left the motor running. He sat there long enough to understand he was serious. And then something, he describes it simply as grace, moved him to shut off the car and go inside.

"It was my hate for what I was doing that created all these life events, including the embezzlement, which ultimately was a huge blessing for me. At the time, though, I was attempting to change the events by hating them, which continued to create more of the same."

Mark Scherer, PhD

Within 120 days of the embezzlement, he lost 95% of his wealth. He owed the IRS, his landlord, suppliers, and American Express hundreds of thousands of dollars. A friend, seeing his condition, invited him to a class based on Robert Tennyson Stevens' book Conscious Language: The Logos of Now. That class cracked something open.

Over the following years, Mark synthesized conscious language work, neuroscience, quantum physics, and the Spiritual Promises he had spent 30 years studying into a single, teachable process. The result was QLT: a method for transforming the emotional charge holding a pattern in place, often within minutes.

Today, Mark's clients have doubled or tripled their income within 90 days, achieved five-year business goals in a single year, reversed chronic health conditions, and healed relationships they had written off entirely. What he built, he built first in himself. That is the authority behind every session.

"The greatest feeling in life is the conscious use of our co-creative gift."

Michelle's Story

The Woman Who Found
Her Voice in the Work

Michelle Spires came to QLT through years of personal training, nutrition counseling, and essential oils work, and a growing sense that something real was missing from everything she was doing. She found Encompass Life not as a student seeking answers, but as a practitioner already deep in the questions.

She describes herself as someone who spent years being terrified of anger. Since her teens, she had been terrified to speak up, once nearly fainting trying to address her father. She stayed silent for years in her first marriage, and "unargued" her way out of a 12-year relationship by never saying what was true. The body-level cost of that silence became the curriculum of her transformation.

The story she tells most often begins with a set of lost keys. New to the work and skeptical, she tore around her house for 20–30 minutes, saying "I cannot find my keys, I don't know where they are, I'm looking everywhere," until something she describes as God thumping her on the head made her hear her own words. She went still in the kitchen and said: "I choose to know where my keys are." She found them on the countertop in 30 seconds.

"Either they materialized, or my own words were blinding me. Either way, point for God. I'll keep playing this language game."

Michelle Spires, PhD

She has since used that same language principle to fill her coaching classes, buy her first home, and to rebuild the self-trust that silence had taken. Her work addresses every area of life by peeling away the generational layers of misinformation the body has been carrying.

As a mother of two, Michelle brings a wholeness to the work that is grounded in the reality of daily life. She holds the heart of the Quantum Leap Tribe, the community space where people remember who they actually are, and begin to love life again.

"I love seeing the sparkle in my clients' eyes as they begin to remember who they really are and love life again."
