Instructors

Sharon McIlwaine, M.A., L.Ac.

Sharon's journey into health and well-being began when her professional dance career led her into the self-healing system of Yoga. Years of physical, mental and spiritual immersion in Yoga brought about a sense of radiant health and joy that she wished to share with others.

As her professional dance career wound down, she embarked upon a six-year study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a field in which she has now practiced for 20 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine brought together a deep connection and love of nature with her interest in healing. A Pilates certification has allowed her to share yet another avenue to health and well-being.
