About Sharmila
Over 20 years of dedicated service in holistic healing
For over 20 years, my purpose has been to help people reconnect with their natural state of health — physically, emotionally, and energetically. Healing is a shared journey, and I'd love to tell you a little about mine.
I was blessed to spend my childhood in New Zealand, Australia, and England. Each place offered its own gifts, shaping the way I move through the world — with openness, curiosity, and a deep respect for the many different ways of being. For the past few years, I've been lucky to call Portugal home. Living here in Aljezur, so close to the ocean, I continue to be nourished by the rhythms of nature, the sea, and the land.
In daily life, I find joy in singing, dancing, yoga, cooking, and mastering the art of simply being. Motherhood has been one of my greatest teachers, gently weaving its wisdom into every part of my work and deepening the compassion I bring to every session.
My Journey in Natural Medicine
I qualified as a Homeopath in 2003 and have supported more than 2,000 clients on their path to healing and inner balance. I've taught first-aid Homeopathy to families around the world and continue to train and mentor new practitioners internationally.
Over time, my clinical practice has evolved to include other deeply intuitive therapies: Craniosacral Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medical Acupuncture, and BioResonance/Biofeedback. These modalities come together in a holistic, multi-layered approach that honours the full complexity of body, mind, and spirit.
A Life-Changing Healing Journey
My passion for natural medicine began with a profound personal healing journey. At 19, while on Fraser Island, Australia, I broke two vertebrae in an accident. Doctors told me I might never walk again and recommended surgery. But I chose another path — one of bodywork, energy medicine, yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry.
That two-year recovery became a life-changing initiation. I experienced the body's innate wisdom and the extraordinary power we all have to heal from within. That experience changed me — and brought me here.
Today, I feel deeply honoured to walk beside others on their own healing paths. I value authenticity, presence, peace, and joy. Whether you're navigating physical pain, emotional challenges, or simply longing for a deeper connection with yourself, my intention is to support you — with warmth, skill, and wholehearted care.
