Hear It From Those Who Healed

Giving a testimonial about Sharon Hockenbury is equally easy and challenging. There are so many good things to say. But that’s the thing: There are SO many good things to say! When I was thinking about why Sharon has been such a positive influence on me and become an essential healer in my life, the one word I kept returning to was trust. I trust Sharon. That’s why she’s a vital member of my personal wellness team.

I first met Sharon through a group we both belong to called Illuminating Women. The focus of the group is connection among women. I was drawn to Sharon because of the joy and feeling of welcome radiating from her. When we were asked to go talk to someone we didn’t already know, I made a beeline for her. I knew she was someone I needed to know. I was right.

I learned Sharon had a business called Twin Peaks Nutrition and Wellness; a storefront where she held classes in Zumba and strength training, offered nutritional counseling and energy services, and sold vitamins and supplements. I took some Zumba classes with her, and bought some supplements. Every encounter with her was always encouraging, and made me feel great. I got to know her well enough — and trust her enough — to seek her out when I hit a health crisis point. I had spiraled down into negative body image thoughts accompanied by weight gain, and I couldn’t seem to pull myself out. I went to Sharon.

 My four sessions with her involved different modalities such as hypnotherapy, nutritional consultation, massage, and bio-mat work. But I think the most valuable element was just knowing I was in a place of trust when I was talking to her and answering her questions. I could speak with complete confidence, unrestrained in revealing my deepest thoughts, because I knew I was in a sacred space. Because I could maintain total honesty during our sessions, Sharon learned what she needed to give me the help I needed. The one goal I had set for myself was to stop repeating a self-defeating mantra that never seemed to leave my head. My work with Sharon made that happen. That negative thought left my consciousness, and has never returned.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit and I had to abandon the fitness classes I loved so much at my local Y, Sharon came to the rescue. She began teaching classes virtually, at first on her own and then through a collective called Engage Fitness, and that has been a lifeline for me during this challenging time. I take Zumba and weight training classes with Sharon three days a week. Those classes, my daily walks, and a weekly online yoga class have been the cornerstones of my life during the pandemic. I front-load my day with physical activity so I’m not tempted to omit it. The constancy gives shape to my week. And in these surreal pandemic circumstances where time has lost all meaning, it gives each day a positive activity so I know I did something good every day.

The care and planning evident in Sharon’s classes is awe-inspiring to me. Her choices of music, her routines, her attention to each muscle group, the options she offers so you can participate no matter what level of fitness you’re at— it’s all classic Sharon: loving, thoughtful, compassionate, and fun. And the joy! You might be working up a sweat, your muscles might be burning and crying out, you might be at your limit — it’s still all one big, good mood with Sharon.

And while many others are bemoaning the gain of the “Covid 19” in terms of extra weight, I have been able to maintain the slow, steady, and sustained weight loss that started when I began my work with her nearly two years ago. That has been a huge spirit lifter, and a bonus in trying to maintain good health in challenging times.

Working with Sharon might be the best good habit I’ve ever adopted. I highly recommend it.

Sharon is magnificent. She moves me – literally! My soul was on fire when she took the stage at a recent Illuminating Women event. Her “break dancing” technique, sass, and passion are igniting… AND pure joy and love for her purpose radiate from her. She got my body moving, my mind refreshed, and filled my soul tank with joy! Thank you, Sharon, you inspire me.

If anyone here hosts or attends conferences – I highly recommend you get the organizer connected to Sharon. You won’t regret it!
