Sharon came to the clinic after enjoying many rewarding years working with clients in the finance industry.

Sharon is a master of process, but she understands people just as well. She always offers up a personal touch to make everyone feel welcome. Attention to detail comes as second nature, just like humour and wit because she doesn’t miss a beat.

Outside of work hours Sharon loves spoiling her fur babies and spending time on the beach.
