Hi ! I am Sharon
"Embody the Earth you walk upon"
I am an Artist, Energy Intuitive and Medicine Woman who loves to co-create with nature. Everything I give birth to is in tune with both the Earth and the Cosmos. In this way I like to operate as a bridge between two worlds. In my early twenties, I became passionate about the world of holistic health, organic foods and herbal medicine and spend my whole twenties learning, studying and discovering this beautiful world, deepening my knowledge and skills. I worked in many different natural health stores, helping people with a wide ranch of health issues towards a healthier lifestyle for themselves. Since a few years I opened myself to a wilder and deeper perspective of nature and medicine. I absolutely love to go out in nature and the woods and forage for wild medicinal plants, fungi and herbs for tea and herbal medicine. In my art and creative work, I work with clay and natural pigments and materials I find in nature. I create little Altar pieces from clay, on which I draw and paint my own channeled healing symbols.
The Altar cloths I create are sustainable fabrics made of recycled plastic bottles and hemp.
You can find my Art & Crafts in my online shop.
When I am not busy creating or making medicine, nature is the place where I love to spend my days, connecting to the trees, animals and plant world, living in tune with the cycles of the Earth, the Moon and the movement of other celestial bodies in the Sky. I have degrees in herbal medicine, massage therapy, flower remedies and essential oils and I am a certified natural health coach & practitioner. And I am always developing my skills and talents by learning.
My co-creation with the land is, next to rewinding my human self, also a sacred practice. An ancient remembrance of a deeper connection and oneness. As a keeper of the Earth it is my mission to bring back this remembrance into the consciousness of fellow human beings in this modern world. A world where disconnection from the land and all of her beings and disconnection of our own core essence of being is deeply intertwined.
My Story
As a highly intuitive and sensitive child, growing up in our linear, capitalized world wasn't easy. Like so many of us, I learned to adapt to this world, from a very young age, in order to feel safe, loved and seen.
Being an intuitive, dreamy and creative child, I loved to spend most of my time alone in my room or in the garden, singing, dancing, listening to my favorite music, reading, writing down stories and creating art. This was and still is a way for me to connect to my inner child and to be in tune with my higher self. Feeling all the weight of the world, sensing it on such a deep level, made me feel like a black sheep and an outcast, never really feeling safe to embody my true self or even be in my own body. It caused me to develop many coping mechanisms in order to feel more safe and accepted within society and my environment. I neglecting my own wants and needs for many years, slowly pulling away from my own center, my core essence of being, my home, heart and body.
In my teenager years I turned into a huge party animal, numbing the pain I felt inside from living a life out of connection with myself, lacking self love and healthy boundaries, putting a lot of pressure on my body, my mind and my spirit. Yet by the time I entered my twenties, my interest for the world of natural and healthy food got triggered by my best friend, who ate organic foods. It marked the beginning of a long, self healing journey. A journey where I discovered the world of organic foods, herbal medicine and holistic healing, which became a great passion of mine. At the age of 22, I went to school for massage therapist, got degrees on herbal medicine, essential oils and flower remedies and eventually graduated as a natural health practitioner and coach. For the last 14 years I've worked in different natural health stores, where I guided people in developing a healthy lifestyle.
When I turned 30, I listened to the calling and desire to revive my creativity and I started a 4 year journey at the Academy of the Arts to learn all about working with clay and ceramics and I loved it a lot.
Working with clay is Earth's medicine and it brings me in a state of mindful presence, emptying my mind and connecting me to the ground and Earth I walk upon.
​
In my early thirties I still lacked the self love and healthy, energetic boundaries and had a huge dis-balance of both giving and receiving, which totally depleted my life force energy and resulted in a total break down of my nervous system.
It was during a break in a small deserted cabin in the mountains of Northern Spain, that I had an awakening and came to the realization that I needed to change the reality I had created for myself.
From that day, everything changed.
I made a promise to myself to love myself and to heal from the many ways I had been neglecting my own needs and take all the time I needed to find the lost pieces of my soul.
I sold my house and most of my belongings and decided to follow my heart and buy a one - way ticket to Asia.
It became a long and interesting journey. A journey of healing from the walls around my heart I had build up in order to protect myself, of healing deep trauma from past - and current lifetimes and from patterns of behavior and beliefs that weren't even mine in the first place. It was a deep journey of unraveling everything that didn't belong to who I am at my core centre of being. A journey of remembering my gifts and who I am, without all the layers of conditioning. I learned to feel more safe within my own body, to build stronger, energetic boundaries, to love myself and to finally use my sensitivity and intuition as a strength and gift to be able to sense, see and communicate with Spirit and the natural world on a much deeper level. I learned to root down and connect to the Earth, my womb, my own cycle and the natural cycles of the Earth, the Moon and other planets in the Sky. I learned that everything breathes energy and holds Spirit and that I am able to connect to and tune into the Spirit of the trees, the plants, the animals, the fungi, the stones and the waters and work in co-creation with them for guidance and healing along my path and maybe yours too.
​
On this day, five years later, I am still walking this path, always growing, learning and evolving, as I am both a teacher and a student of this life and I am glad to be able to take you with me on this beautiful and wild journey of healing and remembrance.
