Sharon Wheeler’s Method: ScarWork 🙌

Last Thursday thru Sunday, I had the opportunity to take this workshop for continuing 🎓education. I was excited to take this training, but didn’t realize how remarkable this work really is until I was actually doing it. When Cheryl was first teaching us, yes, I slowly was understanding the concept, but once I was able to apply it during our clinic sessions to a person that truly needed help all the pieces🧩 fit together for me as a practitioner.

I am grateful 🙏🏻 to those who trusted me to learn on their bodies, and for my 2 clients that participated in our clinic to have my colleagues learn on them. I am honored to have held space for healing to take place. I can’t say that every workshop I’ve taken throughout my 15+ years as a therapist has rekindled my passion or made a big impact, but this one certainly did!

💭So, what do I plan to do with this training?
• Help reduce the impact of surgical & non-surgical scars for my current clients
• C-section scar/shelving relief
• Add-on to breast massage to increase breastfeeding🤱🏻 outcomes in those who’ve had breast surgery
• Relief for infant & pediatric clients who have had scar-causing injuries or surgery, setting them up for a more healthy future

If you’d like to know more about this therapy or would like to schedule a session, please 📨inbox me or check the link in my bio. I’d be happy to help!
