Sharon’s News

Sweet Potato Quinoa I’m very excited to announce that I am embark­ing upon a new adven­ture… I’m writ­ing and pub­lish­ing my first book! The title is “Nour­ish­ment Made Sim­ple”, and it takes a fun and infor­ma­tive look at food, nour­ish­ment, and  cook­ing for “real life”. 

In a nut­shell, the entire book is based upon one recipe. Yup. One sim­ple, nour­ish­ing recipe, with end­less vari­a­tions.  Some of you are already famil­iar with the “baked grain” or “one-pot” dishes (as some peo­ple refer to them) that I’ve been teach­ing in my cook­ing classes and pri­vate prac­tice. This has always been one of my favorite tech­niques to share, and it has been a sta­ple in my home for over 15 years.

This book is inspired by the all of the folks I’ve talked with and cooked with over the years.  Because of this, the book is filled with sto­ries about each per­son who shares their unique ver­sion of the recipe.  This book is ded­i­cated to those Mom’s, Dad’s, col­lege stu­dents, health­care work­ers, entre­pre­neurs, and any­one else who has some­thing else to do dur­ing the day aside from prepar­ing break­fast, lunch and dinner.

I would love to invite you all to join me in mak­ing this vision a real­ity.  In the com­ing weeks, I will be pre­sent­ing 3 short cook­ing videos, which will hope­fully inspire you to cre­ate your own unique vari­a­tions.  I will also be post­ing down­load­able entry forms and guide­lines for those of you who would like to sub­mit your recipe(s) for the cookbook. 

So if this inter­ests you, stay tuned for updates, and dis­cover more sim­ple and prac­ti­cal ways to stay nour­ished in a busy world!

Home Treatment Room

If you have not already heard, my part­ner and favorite Heller­worker, Jason Rumohr, and I are merg­ing our lives and our prac­tices!  We are excited to begin this ven­ture with a fresh new treat­ment space, located in a stu­dio attached to our home in North Seat­tle (Just off 97th and Sand­point Way).

We are still adding fin­ish­ing touches, but it already feels like a sanc­tu­ary to us.   Located just off the Burke Gilman trail, close to Matthew’s Beach and Mag­nu­son Park, you might want to plan a lit­tle extra time for a stroll or just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

We are excited to open our new doors to you, and we hope you will enjoy this space as much as we do!
