About Sharon

My Qualifications

Mission statement : “My aim is to help people understand how to release tension, build strength and mobility.”

Through my love of dance and sport, I have developed an eye for movement and explored movements within my own body. I have overcome quite a few injuries over the years which has helped me to develop an understanding of giving the body time and patience to heal, adapting movements and helping others to explore how they move, how to strengthen, mobilise and adapt movement patterns with a combination of massage, exercises and breathing.

I spent many years in Banking before coming back to my true passion of working with the body, I spent an intense few years gaining qualifications in Holistic (Swedish) Massage, Level 4 Sports Massage and Yoga Teacher Training. This period helped me to develop tools to manage stress using breath and movement to help me release tension and improve focus. I enjoy helping students from a variety of backgrounds explore these tools and find moments of calm in their often hectic lives.

Off the mat I enjoy athletics, horse-riding, ski-ing and music, all of which continue to help me develop my understanding of the body and the impact the state of mind can have on our actions and performance.  teaching draws on all of my experiences and teachers past and present.
