Professional CV

Sharon Porter has been teaching Energy medicine since the early 1970's, when she began teaching Hatha Yoga in the SF Bay Area. She co-founded and taught in the first large school of Polarity Therapy, which expanded to several locations along the West Coast. She then taught on her own in California and later Colorado, developing her own approach to healing and conciousness. Her sensitivity to energy patterns and fields allows her to track what is going on in the client. When she gives a lecture-demonstration in front of a class or conference audience, she interprets the field patterns that are moving her hands so that others can see the connection between our energy and our thoughts.

In the course of 40+ years of study, teaching and working with clients, she has integrated the work of many great teachers with whom she has personally studied, including Rama Jyoti Vernon (founder of Yoga Journal and Yogas Teachers Assn), Dr. Randolph Stone (founder of Polarity Therapy), Dr. Ray Castellino (founder of BEBA - Birthing Evolution, Birthing Awareness), Dr. William Emerson (pre and Per-Natal Psychology Assn.), Dr. Ann Wigmore (live foods), Dr. Brent Baum (founder of Holographic Memory Resolution), Dr. Stanley Kelleman, DC (hose books include Emotional Anatomy), Dr. Vasant Ladd (Ayurvedic Medicine), Pat Ogden(SensoryMotor Institute), John Upledger (Upledger Institute), Dr. David Bercelli (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) and many other esteemed colleagues
