I am thrilled to be a part of the amazing Board of Directors team. I am excited to see what our conversations and programs will bring the ICF San Diego Chapter members and the community. We are living and making history during these astounding times. I look forward to what our Chapter members share as they continue to grow in their coaching practices, professional lives and personal achievements. What an incredible year 2023 will be! 

With all that life has brought me I understand the wondrous and surprising journey of life. It is an honor and privilege to currently serve as a high school science educator. I continue to stand in awe of my students' curiosity, conversations and courage as they navigate, grow and mature to become responsible and commendable citizens. 

I center my business, Vitality Unlimited, LLC on family, education, well-being and professional growth. I bring ingenuity into the dynamics of life, working alongside clients as they create the life they imagine. I am a graduate of an ICF Life Coach Certified Program. I strive to be active within coaching networks and consistently work to provide my clients with unparalleled conversations. 

I enjoy running and hiking. I have completed the 5 Peak Challenge in Mission Trails, including the 5 Peak Pentathlon in one day. I enjoy music and literature as well. I love chocolate, a great book and being in nature. I am a US Navy Veteran of the Gulf War-Desert Storm-having served in San Diego, the Pacific and the Middle East as a parachute rigger. I currently live in La Jolla, CA. 

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve alongside each of you as we bring incredible countless open doors to our members, each other and the San Diego community.

Sharon now dedicates herself to sharing tools and insights for making the parenting journey enjoyable and successful for others raising children in these amazing but difficult times.
Sharon helps adolescents, teens and young adults with anxiety and stress management; overall leadership; transitions between grades and from high school to college and college to post grad; and with mindset/sports psychology for high-performing athletes.

She works with women in all types of life transition; to create fulfillment as well as success; to balance the challenges of work and family; to deal with emotional stress or trauma; to create healthier, easier relationships; and to implement difficult change or elevate any area of life.
She works to connect each person with their “higher power” or “intuition”, and encourages focusing on moving towards what you want rather than away from what you do not want. Sharon has established her coaching practice centered on emotional health and well-being  that is powered by self love. Sharon strives to discover and honor everyone’s unique and authentic strengths which provides her insight into the type of coaching support and accountability each of her client’s need to thrive.
