Our NZ Book Release is the 11th October 2025, and your books will be sent to you shortly after this date.
* We are only taking orders for delivery to New Zealand at this time. The book will be available on Amazon soon for international orders.
The inspiration for "Evolution of the Soul ~ The Path of Conscious Transformation" is founded from Shari’s International Intuitive Readings and Robert’s Medical Herbalist & Naturopathic Practice.
We explore the Body/Mind/Spirit connection, the underlying triggers of human behaviour, repetitive patterns and core emotions that reveal key universal themes.
We examine Soul Contracts, Destiny Blueprints, Akashic Records, Trauma, Grief and Healing, Plant Kingdom Healing, Karmic Choreography, Relational Dynamics, Evolutional Unfoldment and the Afterlife.
Included are our personal stories, as the journey has been our greatest teaching. It is our Soul inspired mission on Earth to dig deeply into what drives us and shapes our choices as "Humans living with Spirit".
We are all interconnected in this universe as awakening Souls on our journey home.

Good people come from the heart of good people and “Evolution of the Soul” is a great book for a reason. Shari and Robert are not linear and the paths they have taken have plenty of curves and cul-de-sacs. The path taken is the journey of self-discovery. I am thrilled their story is being shared with the world. I was lucky to read an advanced copy and know every reader will learn a lot about themselves.

It has been said that everyone can draw; some draw in stick figures, other in minute detail. Similarly, we are all intuitive, though some struggle to receive these messages, while others are receiving messages from many senses and dimensions. Shari is the “Claude Monet” of intuition having a rare gift of deep insightfulness. Her talents have served and supported so many individuals along their journey. “Evolution of the Soul” will allow many others access to her divine wisdom. When Gaia offers us her medicinal apothecary, she needs Souls who have intimate understanding of the wisdom of plants for their magic and curative abilities to take effect. Robert is a master herbal craftsman who has lived and breathed this modality for literally thousands of patients and remains as passionate as ever about herbal medicine while always holding a space of empathy, compassion and hope for his clients. “Evolution of the Soul” will be a gift to all those who read it.

Quentin and I have known Shari and Robert for over 24 years. Shari is an insightful Intuitive Reader and Robert is a gifted Medical Herbalist and Naturopath, Titirangi Herbal Dispensary. In “Evolution of the Soul”, we are taken on a journey through the incarnation on this Earth plane, examining how we learn from our personal experiences, both uplifting and challenging; love, pain, grief, illness and loss, as well as interacting with others in our karmic circle working to resolve issues in this life and our past lives. We are made aware of many other spheres and levels of existence more elevated than our Earth incarnation. We are assured that we are not alone and our Spirit Guides are watching over us as we work toward completion. This book is a helpful guide navigating us through all stages of life. Included are some beautiful poems by Shari and Robert which lift our spirit and inspire us to carry on. We are privileged to be just a small part of this monumental work.

I have known Shari for about 18 years and have experienced her Intuitive Readings. She is a very talented, insightful and intuitive individual with a deeply inquisitive and empathetic approach to her work and her life. Her work shines a light on my own personal journey, supporting my inquiry and exploration into life and being. Shari has a wisdom and approach to life, when shared, that enriches all who come into contact. By presenting her thoughts, ideas and personal knowledge, she can only make the world a richer place and those who delve into the pages of “Evolution of the Soul” will only be enriched. Robert is a very talented Medical Herbalist & Naturopath. He brings an open, enquiring mind to his practise, combining his scientific, intuitive, and empathetic approach to his work. His consultations are thorough, insightful and very helpful. The combining of these two minds with their myriad of experiences, insights, knowledge and skills has produced an insightful, lucid and thought-provoking book, challenging the reader to reconsider and expand their own world view.

I have been a fortunate recipient of Shari Rhodes’ insights of the human condition and psyche. Drawing from all sources of knowledge and knowingness, Shari’s ability to move me to “reveal myself to myself” has always been a source of wonder, learning and healing. To have captured in an “on demand written guide”, Shari’s special wisdom and voice continues to probe, challenge and illuminate my perceptions which is a treasure/ taonga. Shari’s Intuitive Readings, articles and workshops have empowered me as a professional and a person, bringing my best self to the world-benefitting my clients, my colleagues, my whanau and my peace. Co-authored by Medical Herbalist & Naturopathic practitioner Robert Newby, “Evolution of the Soul” has been a labour of love. Robert is a talented health practitioner who insightfully draws on a range of modalities – physical and metaphysical – to heal and empower the mind, body and Soul. He has an extraordinary healing gift from which I have benefited for over 15 years as a patient, confidant and a friend. Robert researches, ponders and wonders on behalf of his clients. Together, Shari and Robert have taken a deep dive into the whole of the life journey – including the Afterlife. We are most fortunate to have access to this, inspired and inspiring, thinking practises and guidance. Thank you. He Tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

When my 22-year-old son died by suicide, I knew I needed support to stay strong for myself and my younger son. Working with Shari and Robert has helped me navigate the emotional, psychological and spiritual impact of grief. Shari’s intuitive insights and Robert’s holistic health care gave me the strength to navigate grief without losing myself. Over time, I have developed a deeper trust in my intuition, greater compassion for myself and a clearer sense of what I need to stay well. “Evolution of the Soul” offers gentle wisdom and hope for anyone learning to live with deep loss. It captures the same wisdom Shari and Robert offered me, gentle, grounded, and deeply human guidance for finding your way through loss, while slowly rebuilding from within. Grief changes us, but with the right support, we can keep growing.

It’s not often you meet a couple whose skills in healing both body and mind come together in such harmony. Shari and Robert are such a couple. I have found Shari’s guidance over the years to be profound, insightful and practically grounded in the here and now. She is gifted at supporting whatever process I am going through with wisdom, humour and compassionate care. Robert’s practical advice with herbs, remedies and lifestyle has in turn helped me manage the energetic demands of a growing business and kept my physical body in check. I believe “Evolution of the Soul” ultimately paves the way for a greater sense of personal empowerment and self-knowledge… and will leave the reader grateful it has come across their path.
