I had a cholesterol test recently and the numbers were great. Now, this is either someone else's blood (my numbers have NEVER been this good) or your help has really made a difference...

I began working with Sharon after I had recently finished getting my degree in art,  which I did while working. Between working, attending classes and doing homework my exercise and eating regimens were very much disrupted. I badly needed help to get myself on track. As it turns out, the information I got from Sharon was information I could have used long before I went back to school. Although I had been a regular exerciser and watched what I ate, I learned through working with Sharon just how uninformed I was about food and nutrition.

Working with Sharon was one of the best gifts I could have given myself, and as happens, my husband as well, since we both have benefited greatly. She gave me the knowledge to be an educated eater and make much more informed choices. I now feel empowered about food and nutrition and am I healthier than I’ve ever been.

I never felt judged. She worked with me from exactly where I was and I learned to make better choices.

I now feel so much better about how I approach my food, I finally feel as if I treat myself and my body with respect and self love instead of putting my nutritional needs last.

I would recommend working with Sharon for anyone who wants to take their eating choices into their own hands with a very informed and supportive health and nutrition counselor.

During the past couple of weeks I can say that I have a little more weight loss, my mood is more balanced and my confidence is much better.

I decided to work with Sharon because I wanted to learn more about nutrition and how what I ate affected my weight, energy and overall fitness level. I wasn’t feeling my best and I felt that I needed to take control and really learn about what I was putting into my body to gain an understanding of what was affecting my wellness at its root core level. After working with Sharon for six months, I am now forever changed in how I approach and evaluate what I eat and how I feel.

There is so much information out there and so many diets bombarding you with often conflicting statements, that it is difficult to know what to listen to and what will work for you. In the past, thinking I was doing things the ‘right’ way, I would often eat the wrong things, at the wrong times and in the wrong proportions which created a flywheel affect of seeking more of the same things that weren’t giving me the energy and nutrients that I needed.

Sharon and I were able to tailor my diet in ways that worked for me.  My diet now is easy and natural (I am not “on a diet”) and I now rarely have cravings for things that are less healthy for me. Sharon introduced me to foods I was never aware of before that can satisfy my appetite and are much healthier and better sources of energy. This, combined with taking some tailored supplements have made a tremendous difference in getting me to a place where my weight is stabilized and I have lots of energy for my workouts, my job and my family. I literally have never felt better!

I would recommend this program for anyone who wants to take control of their diet and really understand the impact of how the food and nutrients they put into their bodies affect their health, energy and overall wellness. Sharon is great to work with and will educate you about a large range of nutritional options and then help you to tailor a diet specifically for you. You can really experiment and pick and choose from a multitude of different elements and then build a sustainable program you can easily live with for the rest of your life. It was a great experience for me and has helped me build the foundation for health and wellness in the second half of my life.

My sister had been working with Sharon for a couple of years and has gotten great results.

I decided to work with her, too, because I had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and was desperate to eat as well as I could to improve my diabetes. I just had no idea where to start, and the hospital nutritionists weren’t very helpful or innovative like Sharon.

Before working with Sharon, I wasn’t happy with my weight, I had very little energy and I felt depressed and anxious at times. After just a few months, I feel like a new woman! I’ve lost weight, I have an incredible amount of energy, so much that I now wake up at 5:30 a.m. and can’t wait to get on the treadmill – and I feel calmer and happier than I can remember. I’ve also been able to reduce the amount of insulin I use.

I feel like I’ve now been educated in a way that would be very hard to research myself, and I feel so much clarity from what I have learned and what I can now do for myself.

Sharon is such a great pleasure to work with. No judgments and a lot of encouragement. I highly recommend her.

You are doing a terrific thing for me. I want to thank you so much. I feel better already. I have only had one collapse (i.e., white sugar attack) in the past two weeks.

I cannot tell you how nurturing it is, in more ways than one, to spend this time with you.

I spent years experimenting with many dietary approaches (including extreme low fat, AMA heart diet, vegetarianism, vegan) to manage my heart disease. While I was able to get my cholesterol numbers down, my triglycerides were high and I felt "unbalanced". With little awareness on my part, my body was battling the toxic effects of my diet and my medications. This often left me feeling exhausted and depleted. It was difficult for me to get the exercise I needed because I just didn’t have the energy to do it.

After all this, I was fortunate to find and work with Sharon, and was able to greatly benefit from her holistic approach. We created a diet tailored to my physical realities that has really been working well for me.

After a little more than a year of using this approach (I finished working with Sharon roughly six months ago), I've had two blood tests that were the best I have ever had. They were balanced and every measurement was normal.

I now eat a wonderfully interesting diet that includes many of the things I had previously avoided and hadn’t eaten for years. I feel like I am definitely gaining the upper hand here.

Working with Sharon awakened in me an interest in the food "systems" of the world and especially heightened my interest in local food systems. I feel that I am finally on the right path with the "fuel" I put into my body.

I didn't realized how much things had changed until the other day when I saw a friend I hadn't seen for a long time. She told me that I looked fantastic...

I enjoyed the talk – and learned that clearly, I have been consuming too much sugar without even knowing it.

I am trying not to panic, but just to now spend the time with you learning how to do this. I'm starting to get it.

I am starting to feel better about food. It's always made me nervous, and with my history of anorexia, I worried that beginning to work with you would send me back there.

I'm relieved to report that it hasn't, and I now feel that I can eat real food without worrying that I'll become ensnared in old behaviors. Thank you.
