Shaine Young, AKA the SyrenE Mpress, describes herself as a mother of four, a neuroscience doctor, a martial arts enthusiast, a heart-driven dancer, and a woman who lived a thousand lives. Inspired by her spiritual awakening, one of these lives culminated in Syren Waters, a unique healing center designed to empower others through the power of self-discovery and soul exploration. For Shaine, the voyage to entrepreneurship transcended educational cross-continental travels and academia, rooting back to overcoming childhood traumas and facing inner demons.
Growing up in a household where uncertainty and conflict were eminent, Shaine was often left to her own devices, forced to learn the art of independence in childhood. At 13, kicked out of the house by her stepfather, Shaine navigated life’s complexities by tapping into her deeply-seated resilience. Though without a roof over her head and positive parental figures around, her insatiable urge to foster a life of happiness inspired Shaine to take fate into her own hands; that mission empowered Shaine to continue attending school every day, absorb new knowledge, and continuously improve.
Since the age of seven, Shaine has been driven by high ambitions of entering the medical field and becoming a brain surgeon. The pivotal moment that reshaped her direction happened when Shaine’s first daughter was born prematurely with increased fluid levels. Due to nurse malpractice, a simple procedure of releasing fluid resulted in a damaged nerve and cerebral palsy—a condition that never fully disappeared. During that time, going from doctor to doctor and hearing the same advice, Shaine began to lose hope. To fuel her daughter’s recovery, she shifted from a medical Master’s degree to a PhD in research, specifically in neurology.
Equipped with academic accolades and inspired by high aspirations, Shaine began working at a renowned hospital in Chicago. Despite finally achieving her dreams, she couldn’t shake off the sense of unfulfillment and the feeling of not doing enough to help the world heal. “Since childhood, my mindset revolved around giving back. At one point, I was a 13-year-old girl walking the streets on my own. I know how tough it is to make it in this world,” she shares. “I thought I had achieved everything I had always dreamed of. But eventually, my well-paying job and a three-bedroom condo weren’t enough, and I knew I had to do more.”
Inspired by that realization, Shaine transformed one of her bedrooms into a SPA parlor with massage tables and steam showers that exuded the essence of tranquility. After an overwhelmingly positive response and multiple clients commending Shaine for her magical power that rejuvenated their bodies and minds, the entrepreneurial woman made the bold decision to leave the familiar hospital setting and embark on her own business-owning mission. That’s how Syren Waters, an innovative and spiritual healing center, was born in 2014. A culmination of Shaine’s passion and her entrepreneurial nature, Syren Waters evolved from the coasts of East and West Africa into a global operation driven by values, positivity, and healing.
Shaine Young’s story is one of overcoming adversity, facing inner shadows, and always seeking the path of light. With a clear vision illuminating her future, Shaine is dedicated to enriching the world with the healing powers of spiritual practices. Now, at the helm of Syren Waters, Shaine remains committed to elevating her skills and knowledge and championing a future of positivity.
“I never had a mentor, a guide, or even a supportive parental figure who would comfort me in dark moments and help me find my way,” she shares. “Experience has always been my teacher, and it is the best teacher one could ask for. I know how to handle life’s challenges, and my purpose is harnessing these experiences to help others find happiness. I found strength in adversity, and hope my story can inspire others to follow their dreams, listen to their hearts’ desires, and choose a life of inner peace.”
