Sharon received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree at Hunter College State University of New York in 1992. Sharon practiced as a nurse for 22 years before obtaining a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Nevada in 2014. Her experience with congenital heart defects influenced her publication in the Home Health Care Management & Practice Magazine, addressing the management of an adult patient with congenital heart disease. Her practice spans the pediatric to the geriatric population and promotes respect and dignity for individuals of all ages. Her philosophy: “Basic human connections linked by flexibility and humor in a world of stress and hurdles impact human kindness, which leads to growth, satisfaction, and genuine happiness.”
Throughout her role as a nurse practitioner, Sharon realized a consistency with a decline in people’s health. This involved the aging process and its relationship with health outcomes. Even more specifically, disease processes had a direct connection to emotional or mental issues combined with nutritional compromise, which eventually leads to worsening disease states. She has always believed in the spirit or energy as a driving force for health, wellness, and existence and took an immersive dive into learning more about how energy and biology correlated.
After studying more deeply on alternative approaches to the health management of the adult population, she created BestU Health Boutique to address core issues of aging and disease. Extensive scientific research studies elucidate the effects of stress on your body, psyche, skin, and overall aging. By keeping an emotional balance, healthy diet, and positive attitude, your skin and demeanor can reflect that story. A deeper thought is that your skin simply reflects the story of what is happening within your body. Therefore, if your skin appears dry, what do you suppose is happening to your organs? These ideas and ruminations were the genesis of BestU Health Boutique’s anti-aging principles and my desire to offer a truly holistic health approach in helping my clients reach their health goals.

“Throughout my years, I’ve always been asked why I haven’t appeared to age. Although I do get older, it appears to my friends and family that I’ve not aged nearly much. It is sometimes excused as genetic lottery winning. That myth discounts the ongoing work of effort and research I have placed into my youthfulness. Ask anyone I’ve encountered, and my answer is always, “My secret to appearing more youthful is to let your light shine bright and never stop smiling.” Plus, I exercise, take lots of supplements, wash my face before bed, use products, etc. I don’t mean for people to go around grinning like clowns. I mean smiling in every sense of positivity and appreciation for all that’s good around us. Let’s recognize how wonderful we all can be, embracing life, happiness, and doing our best when times get tough.
