About Sharon
You may be reading this because you want to know a little more about me.
Before I share what I do, I want to share where things began to shift.
Within a short period of time, much changed.
My beloved mother passed away, and two months later my horse, who had been part of my life for over fifteen years, died suddenly.
At the same time, my work and long-standing friendships began to change as well. My nervous system was a wreck.
What slowly brought me back to ground was something simple and often forgotten: rest, and calming the nervous system — not as something extra, but as a priority.
Even as a body-based therapist, this understanding truly settled for me at the age of 48.
I had already been hosting a well-listened-to podcast, and this new one is a continuation, now in English, moving through a deeper, embodied layer the body recognizes immediately.
As you listen, the nervous system settles, and understanding arises not through effort, but through felt experience.
My hope is that this space feels like a place to land, offering calm, clarity, and a quieter way of living full of joy.
In case you need to hear it today:
you already have what you need.
We’ll take it one breath at a time.
Trust your pace.
And trust your proces
I am with you
