= Sherri Sengsouvanna = Sherri Rowan Tracy Sengsouvanna (born February 6, 1963), best known by the name Sherri Sengsouvanna, is an Award Winning Author, Grief Mentor, Intuitive, Feng Shui Practitioner, Angelic Reiki Master, Spiritual Mentor and Founder of Dance With Todd, a Non-Profit Organization established in honor of her son Todd.

Sherri Rowan was born in Maquoketa, Iowa. She graduated from Columbia College with a B.S. in Business Administration in 2010. She worked in the real estate industry for a title company from 1983 to 1990 in the Illinois Quad City metropolitan area. From 1990 until 2011, she worked at several Public Housing Authorities in the states of Illinois and Texas where she specialized in public housing procurement and capital improvements for public agencies. In 2011, she became a small business owner and currently provides project management services to Public Housing industry through her consulting business, Sengsouvanna Consulting LLC, based in Houston, Texas.

From an early age she enjoyed writing and telling stories. On February 7, 1993, her world was suddenly shattered when her only son Todd was struck by a car and killed instantly. She spent the next 20 years working through her own personal struggles with grief. In September 2013, Sherri experienced a profound life changing event that propelled her forward on her spiritual path. As a result, she now embraces life with a sense of a deeper meaning and spiritual purpose, a journey filled with unwavering faith in all things seen and unseen, and a belief that we are all eternal souls having a human experience. In August 2014, Sherri founded a non-profit organization, Dance With Todd Inc, to help others who are facing adversity in life and develop affordable housing with holistic supportive services for the residents.
