Sharon is fantastic. I initially went to see her because I knew I was carrying around lots of tension that was sucking away all my energy and leaving me sore and achey. I had read up on AT and how a teacher can teach you to walk, stand, breathe, sit, and just overall move better. Sharon has totally changed the way I move my body, and even how I use my camera for my videography work. While the biggest physical change has been in my energy levels (so so much better now), the most profound one was in noticing just how much anger and tension I have been carrying around. There were multiple sessions where a bunch of deep seated anger came up, and she noticed it right away and handled it with such compassion and kindness. I had massive releases of anger after those sessions that have left me much more peaceful. She has such a beautiful presence and is so incredibly patient. She also loves to laugh and be a goofball which makes the sessions so enjoyable. The biggest takeaway I want to share is trust the process. It all sounds kinda wonky learning how to move/breathe/sit differently at first, and if you are like me, the magic might not happen until halfway through, so don't give up on yourself. It will be worth it. She has given me the foundation I needed to continue to make progress in all areas of my life. Thank you, Sharon! read more

Working with Sharon is a delight as her approach is very compassionate and understanding. Working with her is also very effective and helpful for a variety of issues!! I started seeing Sharon some years ago to help me with a persistent pain in my hip and the lessons transformed this pain! I've continued working with her off and on over the past few years and she has helped learn how to work on the computer in a way that doesn't cause wrist pain, reduced my anxiety, and helped me to appear and sound better on camera. I resisted working with her virtually when Covid began, but after I tried it I was surprised at how helpful and effective this was too. I don't think it's any less effective than the in-person sessions. Actually, in some ways it is better because I don't have to take the time to drive to her studio. read more

I took the 25-week private session plan with Sharon and am extremely glad I did! It not only alleviated neck and back pain I was having after an injury but also helped me out in virtually all areas so that it should prevent it from ever returning and should also save my joints from wearing out. The Alexander Technique not only adjusts your posture (which I needed work on) but also teaches you how to move fluidly, lift objects with less effort and speak with more resonance. I highly recommend checking her out and also watching the videos she puts out as those are extremely helpful too! read more

Amazing teacher. Cannot recommend highly enough. She has a deep intelligence and genius with her mind and touch and a wonderful healing impact. I'm an actor and have noticed enormous improvement in my ability to be natural yet deeply emotional and epic on stage. Many thanks to Sharon, very grateful I've met her and can continue to work with her. read more

(This review was written by Erik's wife.) As an actress with a background in theater, I had long been interested in studying the Alexander Technique.  After a seven-week group class with two other teachers, I knew I wanted to take private lessons one day.  When I began experiencing constant, unexplained numbness and tingling in different areas of my body following a prolonged period of severe overwork and stress, I became desperate.  Sensing that the Alexander Technique could help me, I signed up for Sharon's twenty-five lesson Total Transformation package.  Working with Sharon has been invaluable.  Besides being insightful, patient, and compassionate, she creates a safe, supportive environment, meeting you where you are and honing in on your core issues.   Each lesson brought fresh discoveries and effective tools for facilitating physical and mental ease.  As the months went by and we unraveled and released my habitual tension patterns, the tingling and numbness I was experiencing gradually went away (I ultimately realized it was due to a hyperstimulated nervous system).  Additionally, my vision began improving, I learned how to manage my responses to stress, and I'm experiencing increased stamina and a greater sense of freedom and poise in my body.   Sharon also taught me just how adaptable, pliable, and shock absorbent the body can be when used as it was designed and freed from chronic tension.  This was driven home for me while running errands one day (I was a little over halfway through my training at the time) when I slipped on wet concrete and fell on my knees.  Though I'd been badly injured after taking the exact same tumble in a parking lot years earlier, I was unscathed this second time.  Another benefit of learning the Alexander Technique, Sharon told me, is that when you trip, you often don't even fall. I learned so much from Sharon, I signed up for additional lessons and look forward to studying with her again in the future. read more

I love AT and Sharon is an exceptional teacher. After each time I studied with her I had a greater awareness of not only my physical state, but my mental and emotional state. After each class I took with her I had less pain in my shoulders, neck and back. Sharon is very tuned in to what each individual client needs. She has a relaxed presence and an extreme wealth of knowledge. I would say she is the best Alexander Technique teacher I have worked with. read more

I started working with a chiropractor after having major issues with back tension as well as tmj related pain. He casually mentioned the Alexander Technique as something I could look into to help with my alignment, movement, etc. He said it would be helpful. I found Sharon on yelp and wondered if she could help me considering it seemed like this technique was for actors. I teach second grade and was not sure this was for me, but I figured I would give it a try. My first session with Sharon was awesome. She was open, nurturing, gentle...I could go on and on. I decided to take the 10 week course and slowly learned so much about my body. This technique is not just for actors, believe me. Everyone would benefit from taking classes with Sharon. When I first met Sharon I had an eye twitch, carpel tunnel pain, jaw pain, severe neck and upper back pain, as well as headaches. Through my work with her I learned how to sit, stand, walk, pick up things, breathe, and rest. I even learned how to talk to myself/body to release tension in my muscles. All of my issues have gone away and when they do show up, I am able to apply what I've learned to release myself into pain free movement. Needless to say, I am a changed woman! My only regret is not signing up for the 25 week course. I will not make that mistake twice. I cannot wait to work with her again. Give her a try!! Your body will thank you. read more

I can't say enough good things about Sharon! I went to her after being told to "fix my shoulders" in an acting class. I learned so much about posture and movement but that was just the start of it. I'm a taller guy and I didn't realize how much I was apologizing for my size in the way I carried my body. Posture-wise I was a wreck but I didn't truly feel that until I felt how effortless movement can be through working with Sharon. I used to get knee pain when I was hiking but I don't after studying with Sharon. I also had some emotional baggage from an injury I didn't realize I was hanging on to but the work brought that to light. Sharon has a great presence and is a very warm and open individual. I did ten sessions with her and always looked forward to them. I'm much more in tune with my body and movement after those sessions and I feel like a new person! read more

Sharon is amazing! I initially started seeing her because I had chronic lower back pain and shoulder pain. I tried different treatments over the years such as acupuncture, chiropractic, deep tissue massages, etc and nothing seemed to work. I decided to give Sharon a try and I'm so happy I did. She worked with me to help identify the problems in the ways I was using my body. I was putting a lot of pressure on my lower back when I was sitting, I was hunched forward when I was walking, and I was putting all of my weight to one side when I was standing still. Not only that, but Sharon took it a step further. She taught me different breathing and relaxation techniques that has really helped me with my anxiety and with different parts of my daily life. During my time with Sharon I have learned so much about my body, and all of my pain has gone away. I have a stronger, healthier posture, I know better how to respond to stress and tension, different breathing techniques, and how to rest my mind and body. I have learned life-long lessons from Sharon that I can use every single day. I highly recommend her and I look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

I really enjoyed learning the Alexander Technique from Sharon. Her touch and words have made a difference in how I carry my body and take care of it. AT is based on a lot of simple truths we take for granted----Highly recommend spending time with Sharon to give your body the love and attention it needs. read more

Sharon is just wonderful - I've been taking Alexander Technique from her for 2 years and I can't begin to describe how powerful a change it has been in my life! Her understanding of it is flawless and she's just a wonderfully gifted teacher. I highly recommend Sharon! read more

It all started with the arrival of a memory foam mattress into my life. Stomach sleeping and slouching habits didn't help. My back would have none of it and made sure I heard it. I went out searching for answers. Thai massages, acupuncture, Feldenkrais, yoga, visceral and sacrocranial manipulation, Tai Chi and Qigong and calisthenics. They helped but I was still lost in the woods. "Maybe try Alexander Technique", "Alexander who?" Then I found Sharon. A caring teacher who puts you at ease from the moment you shake her hand. Her enthusiasm and devotion to her students made a lifelong Alexander Technique aficionado out of me. Our work together has been extremely beneficial and even though letting go of old habits has been difficult, I can now see a path out of the woods. Thank you. read more

Sharon has been my Alexander Technique teacher for nearly 8 years. I just had an amazing session with her where I learned things about the way I have been using my body lately that is causing pain in my lower back. Wow. Alexander Technique is mind blowing. It's simple and effective. Sharon's experience and natural ability to teach keeps me coming back! I highly recommend trying it to anyone who has chronic pain, or just wants to move more freely. If you are curious about AT, she posted some great videos of her teaching on YouTube that show the process! read more

I have only been about 6 times to private lessons and I already feel a huge shift in my body! I am walking taller and straighter with ease and grace. Sharon is not only extremely knowledgeable with technique, she is a fabulous teacher. She really understands my needs! read more

Sharon is a wonderful teacher. I started looking into Alexander Technique for my sister who has chronic back pain. The statistics for people alleviating this type of pain through AT are impressive. I then started having mild pain from sciatica so decided to give it a try. I have since done some physical therapy & do regular stretching & strengthening exercises and haven't had the pain in months! The skills Sharon teaches you will stay withyou forever and help you in all aspects of life. She is warm and fun to be around and I feel like I gained not only a teacher but a friend. read more

I completed the 10 session course this morning. I had a stiff neck and lower back pain, and Sharon showed me how to walk and sit in ways that really lowered the pain. I am conscious now of my frame, my body. It's a process, not a simple end result. I'd been walking with my eyes looking down at the sidewalk, and I've learned to look at the horizon. Sharon is a dedicated and thoughtful teacher. read more

I had very painful herniated discs in my lower spine. The Alexander Technique was originally invented to help actors move in an effective way. However, it was the only treatment that allowed me to regain motion and reduce pain from the spine injury. It is totally non-invasive and non-traumatic and consists in learning to be aware of how you are standing, sitting, lying down, or walking in a way that is putting artificial strain on muscles and joints, and learning to move, etc. in a way where the body's weight is borne by the larger bones designed to hold that weight. It is extraordinarily simple to describe yet very subtle to learn and can be dramatically effective. There has been a recent study published in the British Medical Journal confirming the application of this method to back pain: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/337/aug19_2/a884. read more

I "won" a private lesson at a silent auction, and knowing nothing about the technique went. Even that one lesson was miraculous. It easily and painlessly resolved neck pain I frequently experienced at the computer and while driving. I signed up for the 10 lesson package and have found it to be the most exciting new learning in my life in a long time. I've learned how to notice what I'm actually doing with my body and to make different choices. The thinking behind the technique has been so valuable emotionally as well as physically. In many ways it's what I was always trying to get from meditation, but without all that sitting. Sharon is a gifted teacher. update: 2 years later - still loving it and learning to find anxiety in my body and let it go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I love Sharon so much, she is so in tune with a student's needs. The technique she has taught me has allowed me to calm my nerves during times of stress and reconnect with my breath. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to release anxiety, gain awareness and be more efficient and effective in everyday life. Better than therapy! read more

I went to Sharon with pain in my neck that went all the way down my arms to my hands. Thirty minutes into our first session, the pain was GONE and it has not returned! Sharon is a terrific Alexander Technique teacher. Working with her has been invaluable for me, especially since I spend most of my working hours writing on a laptop. Now I'm able to work with less physical tension and know how to alleviate any tension that does build up. If you have aches and pains, book an Alexander Technique session with Sharon. You will not regret it! read more

Alexander Technique is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Working with Sharon, I learned to explore and ultimately unravel some of the habits that were causing my back and neck pain. After a few weeks of lessons, my pain began to diminish, and after ten lessons I rarely experience pain at all. I'm still not exactly sure exactly how or why Alexander Technique worked so well for me, but it did. What clearer to me is Sharon's effectiveness as a teacher: she is gentle, empathetic, and trustworthy. She has a way of explaining things that just makes sense. Overall, a really amazing and worthy experience. read more

Sharon is really wonderful. During our sessions, she knew intuitively how to zero in on what I needed to work on and handled our sessions with precision and skill. I'm a performer and needed some attention to some anxiety that was building during my performances. I loved coming at it from a rational and physical place and felt like I learned some skills that gave me control over the fears and anxieties that can come with performing and high stress situations which artists often find themselves in. Highly recommended. read more

A very illuminating and enjoyable experience for public speakers and actors alike!

i have been working with sharon for over 6 years and she remains a remarkable teacher. she extremely intuitive and knows exactly how to create a safe space where my body can let go and find its natural position of calm and ease. i hear her voice pop into my head throughoug the week, giving me gentle reminders to be kind to my body and reconnect to myself. learning the alexander technique has empowered me to change the situations of stress in my life. and when i do encounter stress, i have the tools to cope with them. i was injured on the job from repetitive computer use and she has helped me cope tremendously with my pain. i highly recommend her to everyone i know who deals with chronic pain or wants to feel more ease in their body and in their life. read more
