    Shara Ogin

    Shara Ogin is a Holistic Pain Specialist with over 25 years of experience in the medical field as an Occupational Therapist, Feldenkrais Practitioner, and Ergonomist — before taking a bold career pivot. After earning credentials as a Clairvoyant, Reverend, and Life Coach, she spent a decade working as an Intuitive Coach, weaving together three decades of personal growth work into her practice. This past year, Shara returned to the medical field with a specialized focus on patients living with long-standing pain — specifically those whose symptoms persist even after traditional treatment. Nine out of ten of her patients tend to experience significant pain relief after a single manual session with her. Shara's mission extends beyond one-on-one healing. She is passionate about re-educating the medical system — with a primary focus on Occupational and Physical Therapists and other pain-treating practitioners — on how to take a full-body approach and address symptoms from their root. She will be hosting numerous mind/body retreats for the public, as well as advanced practitioner trainings in 2027. In April, Shara will be releasing her new book, The Body Healing Guide: Decode 150+ Ailments, along with an accompanying workbook. The book explores how emotional and ancestral patterns deeply impact the body's physiology and can ultimately lead to symptoms and pain. In this talk with Robert MacPhee, Shara will reveal what she sees as the real gaps in healthcare treatment — and what lies at the root of all chronic pain. Please see her Youtube - @sharaogin1 or her website: holisticpainrelief.org for more about Shara or the Method.
