She has explored and experienced many aspects of nursing through the years from hospital, clinic, nursing home, home health plus clinical research. Sharon’s nursing experience includes but is not limited to neurology, maternal/child health, pediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatry, and holistic medicine.
Sharon became a registered therapeutic massage therapist/instructor in the state of Texas in 1989. Under this license she has experienced various treatment modalities, the power of aromatherapy through the use of essential oils, full awareness and appreciation of the body/mind connection, proprietor of her own business, teacher and listener. Sharon has lived in the Austin area for 30 years.
She attributes her success in the field of healthcare to her own transformational work. A major component has been the experience of Centering Prayer as a practioner for over 25 years and a certified instructor for 10 years. She feels it is a privilege to be present for others as they move into living their own lives fully.
Sharon has been the coordinator and facilitates the actual TMS treatment sessions since its conception in July of 2009, being the first center in Austin.
Dr. Winston and Sharon have worked together from the ground up to create the TEXAS TMS CENTER. We wish to serve whoever walks through these doors with respect, acknowledging the individual’s situation, and supporting their over-all health and well-being.
