I have been twice. First for ear candling. It was so relaxing and a great experience. This time I went for the tui na massage for tension headache. This was the best most releasing and relaxing massage ever. Started face up and massaged my head neck and face completely to start relaxing from the top down to my feet. I am getting acupuncture next. I will definitely be back!

Sharon's holistic approach, combining acupuncture with Chinese medicine and dietary education, has had a profound effect on my life. My eczema is clearing up, I've lost weight and I have more energy than I've had in years. Not only that, the environment of her office and her gentle manner makes my appointments like a visit with a good friend. Umm, she's changed my life.

When I started seeing Sharon I was feeling completely overwhelmed and was having chronic back pain and terrible allergies. Sharon really listened to me and chose which treatment to use accordingly. Whether with acupuncture or Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique, she got me back on my feet breathing better and feeling much less tired and achy. Best of all, I started having the clarity, focus and energy to stop procrastinating and actually start tackling the things I needed to do to get back on track and feel like I had some control over my life again. For all of this I am so grateful to Sharon

I was able to book a next day appointment with Sharon while only in Austin 2 days as part of a vacation. I had injured my back from a fall a couple days earlier and was in major pain and discomfort. I was really happy to see that Sharon had a 60 dollar acute injury option instead of having to do the full new patient intake that is typically required for new acupuncture patients. Sharon was sharp and attentive and immediately set to work to figure out what was going on with my back and how to fix it. She put my vertebrae back in place using Tui Na and then used acupuncture and other pressure/massage

Life-changing. Sharon is like the doctor I always wanted: knowledgable and intuitive, no nonsense but caring, and very informative. She explains what she's doing and offers detailed suggestions about exercise, diet, relaxation, you name it. I went to her simply for relief from plantar fasciitis but her treatment is so holistic that it's helping with stress, insomnia, and even smoking cessation. The results I experienced were both immediate and immense. I'm so grateful I sought acupuncture to avoid steroid injections in my foot - I had no idea how much more I'd gain by going

Ear candling, y'all!! It is so easy and gentle and perhaps you will hear better afterwards. I enjoyed my session with Sharon and was not disappointed. Especially when she showed me all the buildup I had been carrying around in my ears! I think I lost a pound in each ear!!
The treatment is easy and gentle. Yes, she uses fire but it is up above your ear in a cone and melts the wax so that it can be easily extracted. There is a bonus at the end; a wonderful ear and neck massage! I'm returning next month for more.

This is my first time doing acupuncture but I felt like Sharon really explained everything thoroughly. The session took over 2 hours because it was my first time so definitely worth your money. She discussed all my concerns and issues and explained me to what I could do improve my issues. I was extremely relaxed after my first session and will definitely be coming back!
This is near the UT campus but there is plenty of parking and I like there is online booking!

I have been seeing Sharon at Phoenix Dragon Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine for over four years and have developed a great deal of respect for Sharon as a person and practitioner of the Healing Arts. In addition to her credentials to practice Oriental Medicine, Sharon also stays current with developments in other alternative forms of healing. Sharon does an outstanding job of listening to my needs each visit and we discuss them before she recommends a treatment plan. I have found relief through working with Sharon.

Had a bad allergy attack. My head felt like it was going to explode. I call Phoenix And Dragon to see if she could fit me in that day. She was able to see me in the afternoon. After about 10 min. of treatment, my head started to feel normal. The next morning, after a restful sleep, my head felt normal. Sharon even texted to see how I was doing. She really cares about her patients.

I have been going to Sharon @ the Phoenix & Dragon consistently for about 2 years now. i started out with severe, SEVERE allergies.... literally used to have sneeze attacks several times per day and would wheeze upon simply walking into any home with cats in it. after making the commitment to try acupuncture and listening to Sharon's advice and following the treatment plan, i am now able to breathe, and taste things, don't have any sneeze attacks, and i own two precious cats, one of who sleeps on my face ...it really works!!
