Hey y’all, I’m Sharon.

In 2004 I founded Barefoot Works, one of the first yoga studios in Lexington, Kentucky. In 2019 I found myself ready to transition into something new. Just after celebrating our 15th anniversary, I sold the yoga studio (and it’s still in the most amazing hands).

Over the past two decades I’ve taught retreats, workshops and trainings across the United States and Mexico. For over ten years I’ve coached women on everything from starting a business, to creating new habits, to being more kind and compassionate to themselves.

My life coaching practice is grounded in Positive Psychology, an evidence based approach to human flourishing. We won’t waste our time together guessing what might work as you create the meaningful change you desire in your life.

As far as professional details…I have both a Bachelors and Masters of Science in Leisure Services (I take play and peak experiences very seriously). I’ve completed more yoga teacher trainings than I can count, and have coach certifications in Mindfulness, Conscious Leadership, and Positive Psychology. I’m also a Girl Scout troop leader because young girls and nature are some of my best teachers.

My life is far from perfect. It hasn’t been without challenges. I’ve had as many lows as I’ve had highs. I’ve experienced deep and traumatic loss. I’ve made mistakes. Encountered health scares. Grew up in deep poverty.

It’s all been a part of my personal journey. It’s all impacted who I am, what I stand for, and how I show up.
