Sharon attributes the success of her Acupuncture and Massage practice, not only to her knowledge and experience, but to the fact that she practices what she preaches and leads by example. In addition to utilizing Acupuncture, Massage Therapy and Herbal Medicine to treat patients, Sharon puts emphasis on the importance of making lifestyle and nutritional changes in order to reach the desired outcome her patients are seeking. It is vital to take an active role in the journey towards health and Sharon guides her patients in overcoming the obstacles in the way of their health and wellness. This patient/practitioner team effort is what has made Sharon's practice so successful over the years. Sharon was the Winner of Bethpage Best of Long Island for Acupuncture/Massage in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 until she opted to no longer participate in the contest. Sharon absolutely loves practicing in her Huntington and Wantagh offices and considers her self very fortunate to be doing what she loves.
