ABOUT ME
Health Coach - Longevity & Inflammation Specialist
Founder of Sharon Cusack Wellness
Hi, I’m Sharon Cusack — an Integrative Health and Longevity Guide with more than four decades of experience in holistic healing. My path into this work didn’t begin in a classroom or clinic — it began in my own body, through a series of life-changing challenges that shaped the woman, practitioner, and guide I am today.
The Catalyst: Age 13
At just 13 years old, my appendix ruptured. I suffered silently for four days before collapsing, and by then, infection had spread through my body. My family watched me nearly die. That near-death experience became the trigger that changed everything. As I recovered, I found myself drawn to chemistry and biology. I became fascinated with how the human body works, heals, and regenerates — and that initial curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion.
Pivotal Moment #1: Healing Hypoglycemia
In my early twenties, after years of antibiotics and recurring infections, I developed severe hypoglycemia. My blood sugar would crash so drastically that I became almost unrecognizable — my moods swinging wildly, leaving my new husband shocked and concerned by the changes he witnessed. Desperate for answers, I eventually turned to a naturopathic doctor who guided me onto a yeast-free diet and introduced me to organic food — back in 1988, long before it was mainstream. With these changes, I was able to heal from hypoglycemia. That victory revealed the body’s remarkable ability to restore itself when given the right support - set me on the path toward natural medicine.
Pivotal Moment #2: Overcoming Spinal Injury
At 40, my world unraveled. Within just three weeks, I lost my relationship, my job, and then - on Valentine’s Day 2003, - I was in a devastating car accident. A spinal injury left me bedridden for months and unable to walk properly for nearly five years. At one point, I faced the very real possibility of a wheelchair. Refusing to give up, I poured my energy into study - earning my Nutritional Consultant Certification through the Alive Academy of Natural Health and deepening my knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
A year and a half into my injury, I discovered a doctor of Chinese medicine who treated me with acupuncture, herbs, and tui na massage. Over the course of several years, I gradually began to walk properly again. Through that process, I gained not only physical recovery but also a deep lived, understanding of scar tissue — how it forms, binds, calcifies, and creates blockages in the body. The scar tissue and calcification I carried taught me firsthand the pain, immobility, and limitations they cause, and just as powerfully, how essential it is to address them directly.
That experience opened my eyes to the power of Chinese medicine, energy flow, and the body’s meridians. It also laid the foundation for the restorative bodywork therapies I now share with my clients. Looking back, I know that if I had access then to the modalities I now practice, I could have spared myself years of suffering. That realization continues to fuel my passion for helping others heal.
Pivotal Moment #3: Reclaiming My Feminine Self
The third pivotal moment came much later. Growing up as the youngest of eight, with six older brothers, I never learned what it meant to truly embody my feminine essence. Surrounded by teasing and distorted images of womanhood, I became deeply disconnected from myself. At 33, I chose to get breast implants, believing they would give me the femininity I thought I lacked.
In July 2022, after 25 years, I made the life-changing decision to have them removed. What followed was one of the most profound healings of my life. Without painkillers, I faced the raw emotional and spiritual release head-on. The experience awakened my inner child, reconnected me to my divinely designed body, and allowed me to fully embrace the balance of feminine and masculine energies. It remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
My Professional Training
While my healing journey has been my greatest teacher, I’ve also committed to extensive professional training. I hold a Master Non-Surgical Certification and a Master Coaching Certification from the International Training Institute of Health, as along with recognition as a Certified Regenerative Cellular Therapy Practitioner. Over the years, I have pursued numerous professional and personal certifications, each one deepening my ability to support clients at every level — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Why I Do This Work
Each of these pivotal moments — from a near-death experience in childhood, to self-healing chronic illness, overcoming a debilitating spinal injury, and reclaiming my feminine essence — has shaped the way I guide others today. I know what it feels like to suffer, to lose hope, and to wonder if your body will ever feel whole again. I also know the profound healing that’s possible when you address the root causes, align with your body’s intelligence, and commit to true restoration.
Today, I help men and women — especially those over 50 — release pain, restore energy, and reverse aging naturally. My mission is simple: help you reclaim your vitality, confidence, and joy, so you can live these years not just longer, but stronger, healthier, and more vibrantly aligned with who you truly are.
