Blossom Health uses a patient-centered approach to identify and address the underlying cause of your imbalances. We all know that stress is just a part of life. We all have moments of feeling anxious or depressed, but when those feelings become more of a permanent fixture in our lives, it is time to get some help.

Military veterans often return from service with a host of physical, mental, and emotional challenges related to their tours of duty. Rarely does a service member present with just one health issue. A 2014 study summarized the challenges associated with treating veterans and their often complex medical issues.

In my fifteen years of practice, I have helped many people heal from chronic disease, assisted couples with natural fertility options as well as IVF support, helped many to live free of pain, and treated everything from digestive complaints, psoriasis, anxiety, thyroid disease, chronic eye disease, neurological and autoimmune issues.
I have been intrigued by medicine and healing since early on in my life. When I was quite young and so inquisitive about medicine, my mom would try to "shush me up". She wasn't fond of doctors and I guess my questions struck a nerve. My first experience with the world of holistic medicine occurred in the early 80's while living in Boston.
I chose to receive post-graduate training in this specialty because my dad has glaucoma which went terribly wrong (probably by being prescribed a medication which can make glaucoma worse!), and now he is legally blind. It is a very tough thing to deal with when your dad is ninety and has had his sight his entire life and now becomes dependent on others for the smallest daily tasks.
A very intrinsic part of my practice involves addressing the major toxins we are subjected to on a daily basis. The number is staggering, in the hundreds. Many environmental toxins such as PCBs, xenoestrogens, GMOs, pesticides, cosmetics, and household cleaners and such are known as "endocrine dysruptors" as they can reek havoc on our hormones.
Maybe you have been told that statistically the odds are stacked against you because you are 40 years or "God forbid" older, or you have a history of PCOS or endometriosis. Or perhaps you haven't had a regular cycle in ages, or maybe not even a period at all for a long time.

Traditional methods towards conception include fertility drugs like Clomid and invitro-fertilization (IVF), which can be not only expensive, but doesn't address the real reasons why you are not getting pregnant.Conception happens in a state of balance. If you have health challenges or basically don't feel well, are highly stressed, it's more difficult to conceive.

After 4 acupuncture sessions, 3 FM tests, and various supplements, I discontinued treatments from Sharon due to surprisingly aggressive and off-putting communication. Our rapport was very positive until I asked for clarification about an upcoming test, mentioning that there had been delays with two of the previous tests due to miscommunication. Actually, I had asked for clarification in a preceding e-mail, but she had ignored that question, so I followed it up by explaining why I was asking for clarification. In response, Sharon sent a multi-paragraph e-mail, in which she told me my listening/comprehension

Can't recommend Sharon at Blossom Health enough! I was nervous for my first acupuncture session EVER, but Sharon made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process; from the intake to the procedure itself she walked me through the entire process so that I always knew what was going on. I left with all my questions answered, a new outlook on Ancient Chinese Medicine, and a sense of calm when I left.

Very professional and knowledgeable. What impressed me most was the flexibility with her schedule to see me on short notice. I was experiencing very bad lower back pain and after 2 treatments I was feeling so much better. I learned a lot as well. Can't recommend enough A+! Thank you!

I came to see Sharon at a very dark time in my life. After more than four years of infertility issues, and two failed IVF attempts, we were completely destroyed. I lost all my hope. No one can imagine how hard it is unless one went through the same.

Sharon is much more then just your "typical" Acupuncturist. She talked to me a lot about the meaning and benefits of Functional Medicine, as well as the importance of diet and the effects of stress on fertility. She is also very knowledgable about functional blood chemistry and she recommends supplements and diet to correct imbalances

I was set to have an initial appointment with Sharon. After a phone conversation, something seemed off. I didn't feel right. She was aggressive. But I'm a RN so I'm used to aggressive people in the medical field. I wrote her an email to cancel the day before the appointment. I blamed it on my doctor wanting me to see someone else and tried to end it by saying I'd pass her card to my coworkers. She wrote me the most incredibly rude email right back. In my 20 years as a RN if a doctor or any other professional is this rude before you even meet them you need a new provider

I can't say enough positive things about Sharon. I started seeing her when I was around 12 weeks pregnant and I was having terrible migraine/sinus headaches as well as other ailments throughout my pregnancy. She helped with my stuffy nasal passages and keeping my energy up during the pregnancy as well. I saw her through out the entire pregnancy and am still seeing her for my postpartum recovery. She is really great at researching different options and going above and beyond to help her patients. I would highly recommend her.

I've been having coccyx pain for 6 months now and exhausted many forms of treatment so I decided to try acupuncture. Immediately upon talking to Sharon you know she has a lot of knowledge about not only acupuncture but also general well being. After talking to many doctors (I've seen 4 so far) who were unsympathetic and unwilling to do any extra research for me, it's so nice talking to Sharon. She's willing to listen to all your symptoms, give each one weight, and consider many treatment options. After having three sessions with her I already feel like I understand much more

I visited Sharon to help with my long term sinus headaches and I was amazed how my nose cleared up in just one session. I am looking forward to going back for my second one. Sharon has a calmness about her that puts you at ease, she is very knowledgeable and you can tell she has a real passion for her work.

I am looking forward to my next appointment!!

This is way overdue. I woke up with an extreme left shoulder pain. I had to take a day off. I called Sharon for the first time and immediately I felt like she was going to be able to help me. And, I was right! she opened her calendar to help me out and not only did she do acupuncture and cupping, she also listened to me and gave me some great recommendations to help relieve the stress/tension in my life! If only my schedule could open up to get more appointments with Sharon, I would totally go more often. She is really helpful and extremely great at listening to not only your physical problem but

While on a recent vacation to the LA area, I injured my back to a point where it was difficult to stand up--I was in a lot of pain. My friend had heard of Sharon's reputation and referred me to her. I found Sharon to be warm, professional, sharp, and coming from a place of integrity. I saw her quite a few times in a short span of time, and I can honestly say that my recovery was quick and effortless. She takes the time to really listen and is quite caring and generous with her time and her follow-up. She is more about helping people heal than the money. I would recommend her to anyone

Sharon always saves the day! Thank you!! Been going to sharon for about 10years, i follow sharon wherever she goes. Shes the only one I fully trust. I started seeing sharon because i had bad sinus infection and got to the point where i couldnt even smell anything, it had been going on for months and used just about everything and nothing seemed to work so my mom who has been seeing sharon way longer told me to try it out, i thought what will needles do? But i was desperate to get better so i went in for treatment and felt better,by my 3rd session i was healed and even sharon was surprised that

Wonderful experiences with Sharon! A great listener who shows genuine concern for her clients' well being. A beautiful heart, you can tell she really loves what she does and takes her practice very seriously. She is very knowledgable and digs deep to find the root of ailments, not just a temporary cure to mask them. Prior to Sharon I had never considered Accupuncture as a means of healing the muscle spasms in my back. Now after 6 years of dealing with this pain and finally experiencing real relief I have become a believer in this medicine! Wish I would have known of her sooner!

After being diagnosed with cancer I learned that acupuncture can drastically reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. I was refered to Sharon at Chinese Red Acupuncture by the Cancer Suport Community of the South Bay and am so grateful that I was. Sharon is a professional that really listens to her patients and treats them to the highest level of care. During my radiation and chemo I was seeing Sharon twice a week and learned everthing I had heard about acupuncture was true. My symptoms were drastically reduced and I retained my saliva glands which is rare with radiation of the head
