Sharon
first learned to meditate in 1990 to help manage a chronic health condition
and has practiced mindfulness meditation for the last 6 years, and also
attends retreats on a regular basis.
In 2006 Sharon attended a retreat that was being led by Vidyamala Burch and started her training with Breathworks very soon after it.
She gained invaluable experience by supporting several courses in Cardiff and travelled weekly to Manchester to support a course with Sona Fricker and became an Accredited Breathworks Trainer in 2009.
Sharon qualified as a Social Worker in 1994 and gained her Diploma in Counselling in 1998. She worked for various voluntary organisations as a counsellor and trainer then started supervising counsellors and then supervisors from 2000, gaining an MSc in Advanced Counselling and Supervision in 2004 from the University of Glamorgan.
She is currently the Chief Welfare Officer for a large voluntary aid organisation counselling the members when required and supervising her team. She also spent a number of years as a trainer and training development advisor and was privileged to be selected to go to India twice to train their members to become trainers and assessors.
During this time she also worked as a college lecturer in the field of health and social care, counselling and personal development and finally as a Co-ordinator of a community mediation service.
