About Sharonne

​Welcome to your pathway to BLOOM! I’m Sharonne Cohen, your BLOOM facilitator.
​
An integrative wellness practitioner, my work offers the unique combination of health & life coaching, energy medicine - Medical Qi Gong, Chinese bodywork, instruction in therapeutic movement, and mindfulness / meditation practices.

​My Path
It was my own difficult journey to well-being, through a severe burnout and other physical and emotional challenges, that led me toward my path as a wellness facilitator, inspiring me to dedicate myself to this vocation, and to helping others thrive.
My deepest desire is to unlock my clients’ potential, and through the various aspects of my practice, to enable them to live their best lives – returning to their natural state of health, improving their relationships, finding true fulfillment and purpose in their work, and tapping into their innate creativity. 
I bring a distinct blend of training and skills, and a background in healing and martial arts, inspiring my clients to take an active role in their journey towards a healthy, balanced, joyful life. TO BLOOM!

Certified by HCI (the Health Coach Institute), as a Health & Life Coach I partner with those seeking to make positive life transitions — changing jobs or vocations, cultivating lasting, fulfilling relationships — or achieving health goals: discovering & maintaining healthier nutrition, enjoying better quality sleep that is truly restorative, managing stress and increasing energy & vitality.​

​My Training
My esteemed healing arts teachers have included Master Ou, Wen Wei – council member of the International Medical Qigong Association, and former Director of the Qigong Science Research Institute of Guangzhou University; Paul Fraser – acupuncturist and Medical Qi Gong practitioner & instructor; Ethan Murchie, a practitioner and teacher of traditional Chinese physical culture and medicine; and Thea Elijah, teacher of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture.
​
​Bringing to my practice a longstanding commitment to Qi Gong and Tai Chi, I have also trained in the martial art of Kung Fu, attaining the level of Black Belt in 2014.

​I am a licensed member of ANQ – The Quebec Association of Naturotherapists (L’Association des Naturothérapeutes du Québec),

''Sharonne has a rare combination of sharp intellect and wit, with deep sensitivity and spirituality.
Given the broad spectrum of modalities she uses in her practice, working with Sharonne
offers an opportunity to nourish mind, body and soul. Through her teachings, she has helped
me gain better posture, more calm, reduce chronic pain and expand breath. In private sessions,
Sharonne is an attentive and caring listener, able to complement conversation through Chinese bodywork.
​This combination aided me in moving through a “stuck” place by untangling both my thoughts and my body.
​
Thank you, Sharonne! You are a rare gift in my life! '' — Ayelet Rose Gottlieb
