Computer Vision:
"After
just one session with you I had a big improvement in ease
of moving from work on my desk to the computer. I realized
that there were things I always had to copy from paper to
computer that I dreaded because it really was difficult
but the other day I had no trouble at all." —

Children's
Vision:
"When
we first came to you, my daughter Loren was wearing a +3.25
correction all day. I knew that when she removed her glasses
her left eye would turn in. Loren's eye training has resulted
in her not needing glasses to see normally and her eye no
longer turns in. Loren is now using her eyes like they were
designed to be used. It was your skillful attention and
care that facilitated her natural ability and we are both
very grateful to you... When looking for a new doctor, Loren
commented that she wanted one just like Sharon, her eye
trainer. 'You know, Mom, she really cares and is very patient.
Besides, look at the progress we've made...' "—

Presbyopia:
"I
find it fascinating to learn how my eyes work; it's like
coming into a new dimension. I've often felt, as a yoga
teacher, and a visually oriented person, that my loss of
vision felt like a loss of self. Now I feel more empowered
to retain as much visual acuity as possible, and to adjust
my environment and my expectations to a healthier level.
I've reduced the level of magnification I use on close tasks,
and I've eliminated eyestrain." — Janice Wilson

"I
enjoyed attending your class which was very beneficial to
my eyes. My eyes became watery whenever I would concentrate
on any object for some time and also I was feeling difficulty
reading newsprint. I have felt a difference in my eyes after
just a few eye classes. I no longer have watery eyes and
I can read newsprint very comfortably." — Atamjit

Head
Trauma:
"I
had a serious intracranial hemorrhage due to an AVM (arteriovenous
malformation) in December of 1991 which meant I couldn't
swallow, I couldn't speak, I couldn't think, and I was paralized
on my right side. This coincided with a significant visual
field loss. In 1996, after five years of rehab, I started
to be able to read. Then the next year I was able to start
writing. I met Sharon Hicks in 2001. Understanding that
audio visual learning was my key to improving, Sharon isolated
this concept to develop my audio, visual and motor skills
through multi-sensory processes. Colored light was used
to help my visual field loss and along with eye teaming
my overall balance and bilateral movement improved."

"After
having a serious car accident I had great difficulty parking
my car. It would end up on the sidewalk or way out in the
street. I felt more comfortable driving in the left lane
so that I wouldn't be surprised by cars coming up on my
left unexpectedly. The doctors said that the problems were
with my visual cortex which got damaged during the accident.
They said the problem would not go away and that there was
nothing they could do to help. Then I went for Personal
Vision with Sharon Hicks. We discovered that my blind spot
was enlarged and I had a large field loss in my upper left
visual field. As a result I was alternating eyes, using
mostly the right. With colored light and eye teaming exercises
my blind spot is normal, my visual fields are open, and
my parking is once again a breeze." — Myra Reichel
Eye
Pressure:
"You
revolutionized my life by caring about my inner world. When
I said my eye pressure was high you asked if there was pressure
in my life? You really let my inner being speak freely.
As a result I was able to unload. I was able to reduce my
eye pressure to normal and get my nervous system balanced.
I was able to find out that there was a chemical imbalance.
You gave me courage. You gave me individual tailored attention.
You were patient with me. You really took your cues from
me. You became the most profound support system in my life.
Thank you."— Lynn Sokolski
Self-discovery
Workshop:
"I
found the workshop to be powerful and inspiring. Sharon's
teaching style allowed for a safe, open and very non-judgemental
creative environment. I think the response from the group
was amazing. Both experienced and completely new artists
found themselves exploring new territory both internally
and in the ways they create their art." —Rachel

Art
for Wellness:
"When
I work with Sharon and I am painting, I have no stress or
anxiety – a new experience for me. This is helping
me change my view of how I 'see' the world." —
