Our true constant is change. It is through making small micro changes, beginning with a desire for something different, that our health transformation begins. As we begin to pause and consider our dance with stress, look at our true priorities, ways to invest in our self-care, and nourish our body, mind, and spirit, we can show up in our lives in new and exciting ways.

Sharon works with those who have a desire to live a more fulfilling and nourishing life that is so much more than only work, offering nutrition and wellness coaching with a holistic lens.

At The Nourished Executive she offers • One on Ones • Small group coaching • Speaking at events, meetings, and conferences.

Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Self-care- an investment in yourself • Preventing Burnout • Psychological Safety • Changing our dance with stress • Self-Reflection • Scheduling Downtime • Making lifestyle changes to enhance our brain health.

Sharon shares that we can make different choices on how we spend our time and energy, where asking for help, taking breaks and scheduling downtime is celebrated and encouraged.
