The Easy Advanced Bodywork Seminar

A private, hands-on experience that teaches you how to ease pain and create deep relaxation with confidence. Easy to learn, advanced results.

You know the moment.

​

Your partner rubs their neck and says, “My shoulders are killing me.”


Your spouse collapses onto the couch after a long day.


Your teen complains about back pain from sports.


Your parent is stiff and sore, and you wish you could help.

​

You try to give a shoulder rub. It lasts about three minutes before your hands get tired. You’re not sure if you’re helping or just poking around.

​

You want to help.


You just don’t know how.

​

And that’s exactly what this seminar solves.

A smarter, gentler way to create real relief

The Easy Advanced Bodywork Seminar is a private two-hour, hands-on class designed specifically for you and your partner.

​

You don’t need anatomy knowledge.
You don’t need massage experience.
You don’t need strong hands.

​

You’ll learn intelligent, efficient techniques that work with the nervous system and connective tissue - not against them. Instead of pressing harder, you’ll learn how to work smarter.

Shona D.

"Sharon's massage classes for couples are fantastic! I am unpartnered so I signed up with a friend, and we both learned so much! The combination of her demonstrations + our hands-on practice with partners giving each other feedback was really helpful. She created a safe, comfortable environment, answered questions and suggested options when dealing with injuries or other health conditions. She knows so much and clearly loves teaching. I've been a patient of hers over years of working construction, and I highly recommend her as a practitioner, too."

Sara B.

"I attended one of Sharon's "beginning advanced bodywork" workshops, and it was more than worth the drive from Seattle to Portland to take it. She gave us detailed hands-on instruction in a handful of simple therapeutic massage techniques with impressive effects. I immediately vastly improved my massage ability, with new skills that felt like some kind of cheating, or maybe superpowers, and became far more informed about massage and the musculoskeletal structure."

Julia G.

"Sharon treated me in a virtual appointment for autoimmune issues. Not only did she help with acupressure and nutrition advice (which has improved my issues tremendously), she was very considerate of my autism-related communication needs. Thank you so much for the valuable help!"

How it works

Book your private two-hour session online or by phone. You and your partner come in together. I demonstrate each technique on each person so you can both see it and experience how it should feel. Then you practice on each other, with the giver getting feedback from both me and the receiver. You practice in real time, ask questions, and leave with practical skills you can immediately use.

​

Note: If you already have massage or anatomy experience, I will scale up the instruction to make the most of your knowledge!

​

Investment: $350 for a private two-hour seminar.

Massage Therapy Session

This is about more than massage. It’s about giving you the confidence to care for the people you love.

Hi, I'm Sharon

After overcoming a life-altering injury that left me in chronic pain, I discovered firsthand how powerful acupuncture and advanced bodywork can be. Today, I combine clinical training with lived experience to help people find real relief, restore balance, and feel at home in their bodies again.
