“Sharon is one of my original Mantak Chia Healing Tao Center students and I have known her for almost 40 years… She is a dedicated, caring, and very knowledgeable Inner Alchemy teacher. You will learn a lot from her.”
– Grandmaster Mantak Chia

“So we happened to come across Sharon Smith and we looked at her website, and were very excited about her professionalism, the way her website was constructed, her bio, her experience, all of that. So we gave her a call right then and there. And when we called, the absolute joy and enthusiasm that she greeted us with was just really amazing. And I explained to her that I was blind and I had a bit of experience with Tai Chi.”

The Chi Nei Tsang was one of the most profound things I’ve ever experienced.
-Paul S.,Writer

I wanted to thank you for a very healing and educational session with you. Honestly, today was the best day, both emotionally and physically, I’ve had in many weeks. My education as a physician didn’t teach anything resembling Chi Nei Tsang, but I’m intrigued by this sort of both physical and “energetic” healing.     -Evan M., Pediatrician

I would like to say that today was so inspirational. Thank you so much for reawakening my body to what it needs to heal itself naturally.   -Kirsten Summa, Licensed Massage Therapist

What a weekend! I can’t think of enough positive expletives to tell you what this weekend made me feel. And I 100% believe what a life changing experience this is for me!!!!!!! WOW, STUPENDOUS, SUPERP, STELLAR AND SUPERIFIC. I AM STILL buzzing from that experience.                                                                                                                    – Matt, Musician/Poet, Hollywood, Fl/

From the very first lesson, I could tell that you are a real “Teacher”. Thank you for all you’ve taught! Looking forward to studying with you in 2009.  –Naomi Gartner, Math Teacher

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop on Friday night. It was simply amazing, and I keep asking myself why I didn’t have a better idea of what you do after all this time. Also, I feel very grateful because you gave the best explanation of the five elements/organs/negative/positive emotions that I have ever heard!  -Diane Carlyle, Holistic Health Counselor

I just wanted to tell you that I’m feeling some pretty amazing things this morning. And I’m sure it has to do with the practice. I feel as if my heart has opened a thousand times.Something we did last night seems to have awakened what feels like a thousand tons of compassion. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you.  – Katherine, poet & artist

Sharon is a very patient and helpful teacher, giving each student in her class individual attention to help them not only to master the specific steps of Tai Chi, but also to gain a better understanding of the philosophy of Tai Chi and demonstrating to us how we can use what we have learned to better connect ourselves to the physical and spiritual world in which we live.

Every aspect of the weekend was simply amazing. What a beautiful place! To watch your Tai Chi was a delight.  – Michael, Tai Chi Teacher, Toronto
