Testimonials

I used to be a client of Sharon's when she was in NYC...I have to say I really miss her and still can not find anyone who can give massage equal to Sharon's...She truly has "healing hands". I just want to let you know how much you are missed in NY.--Michele N, Art Therapist, NY

Wanted to say THANKS for the BEST bodywork I've ever had. You are so gifted! --Ginny Beal, Yoga Instructor, Tucson 3-02

The space Sharon provided enabled me to regroup and heal.
I came filled with confusion and self-doubt, riddled with stress and anxiety. I leave to continue my journey now in peace, looking forward to my decisions in a positive light, with clarity and focus and my next return to Sedona. --Sula, Fine Art Photographer; sulaimagery.com 10/02

About Prossage

Sharon Shapiro, a licensed and practicing Massage Therapist in NY since 1992, and in Sedona since 2000, blends her wide range of knowledge and experience with her intuition, sensitivity and unique healing touch. During her more than 15 years in practice, Sharon has synthesized an integrative, and eclectic repertoire of techniques which effectively promotes relaxation, decompresses the core lock down mechanism of the body, relieves chronic and acute pain from postural distortions and injuries, enhances lifestyle awareness, initiates cleansing, and facilitates transformation while activating and supporting the healing process that already exists within. . a uniquely integrated approach in which the art of inner body awareness powerfully blends with the science of biomechanics.

PROSSAGE-FULL SPECTRUM MASSAGE THERAPY AND BODYWORK REDEFINED

Sharon's intention is to create awareness, space, and balance for the entire body, addressing the whole dynamic, with the best and most effective massage techniques, modalities for people to heal, get the long lasting results they are looking for, and markedly improve and increase their quality of life, in her private practice and on-site at restaurants, fitness centers, B and B’s, Inns, hotels, resorts, golf courses, homes, offices, weddings, events, retreats and seminars.

A safe space is created and held, which allows and supports one to get in touch with their own healing abilities by implementing and introducing several modalities and concepts to the client including:
Neuromuscular Therapy/Structural Bodywork: where we take a look at the body in its current postural patterns, take a health history, and a postural analysis, to determine where and how we will proceed with the treatments, thus creating awareness for the recipient about their own body. (1 ½ -3 hour sessions)

DSL EdgeWork TM (Structural Bodywork) --3 hours

This work allows the client/patient to let go of and transform chronic tension patterns and habits in the body...by releasing tight muscles that are keeping the body locked up, in pain, and in distortional patterns. Focused time is spent releasing the core lockdown mechanism of the body, which is the abdominal wall, the gluteal muscle group, and the hamstrings. This unique combination allows for a greater unlocking of old patterns to occur, thus unlocking a systemic holding pattern in the rest of the body. As we work together, there is a dialogue that happens between client and therapist, where both are aware of the level of pain that exists in the body. This is important because there is not a need for the client to be in pain, but to know where their individual “ edge” is; the place that still feels good without pain. One focus is to invite the body to rest and heal and go into a place where the nervous system can relax...not be activated by a pain response. Therfore, recieving rather than resisting the work.

Another goal in this session is to create space in the body… to aid in proper functioning within the body and its many systems, for example: blood flow, nerve impulses, digestion, elimination, breathing, and so on.

Sharon gives the client a choice to talk or be silent and go within during any of the sessions... and do whatever feels right for them at that moment. Sharon will educate each person about the body, before, after, and while she is working with them. She also gives them some therapeutic stretches/exercises/ yoga poses to do to at home to help to maintain and support the changes that are happening from the sessions. She also looks at past traumatic experiences, lifestyle and or occupation to see these effects, and look at ways to remedy those situations so they can be more comfortable, aware, and supportive to their physical needs.

NMT, DSL EdgeWork, Deep Tissue and Trigger point, as well as sports massage, are quite useful for athletes and yoga students, with the intention being able to improve performance, increase flexibility, and speed up recovery time between training sessions, activities, or events.

REFLEXOLOGY sessions are 1 1/2 hours, primarily focusing on the feet, which are said to be a microcosm of the body. This work can have various effects on the entire body system, from deep relaxation and creating balance within the entire body, to energizing areas that have been feeling depleted, as well as offering relief for many foot conditions or ailments.

HOLODYNAMICS-UNFOLDING POTENTIAL

Transforming consciousness and assisting people to become clearer about their fullest potential, and providing tools for this unfoldment to occur is a profound piece in the healing process. We look at the Whole Dynamic and our aim is to manifest solutions to life’s problems. This ”Tracking” is offered either individually, by itself, or can be done at the same time as a bodywork session. More often than not, we hold limiting beliefs and old and new destructive patterns in the cells in our bodies, causing physical symptoms, and all sorts of blockages, which can manifest on either the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels. This work is a catalyst to creating and realizing what the solutions are and integrating in to daily life.

Sharon’s dynamic personality, confident style, and extensive knowledge of anatomy, bodywork, yoga therapy, and holistic health bring clarity and ease to her sessions, providing her clients with a safe space. It is her joy to share her energy and enthusiasm for life through her work, encouraging each person to express themselves authentically and to be able to unfold their fullest potential.
